Personal Background
I have taught at VABHOE for many years. Teaching has been rewarding to
me because it has given me the freedom to express myself through
the eyes and hearts of so many unique students. My life at VABHOE has
developed my character and given me a true sense of who people really
are. Teaching here, and working in my community, has given me the opportunity
to serve STUDENTS, PARENTS AND MY COLLEAGUES.

The mission for my class is to establish a cooperative learning
environment, and to ensure all students progress satisfactorily.
I know that each student will take the responsility for his or her
education and I also know that each child is a unique individual.
Children are excited about learning, so I must focus on each child's
ability,and assure them that they can be successful,due to all
the challenges we have ahead of us. Students must march to their own
DRUM! AND THAT'S WHY I AM THERE TO HELP THEM BEAT THAT DRUM!
