Very impressionable with a multitude of personalities, my students come from various backgrounds and are a joy to connect with. Some students have really bad days; it is obvious they may have had a tough morning, while others are always excited to come to the class to discuss and work and be in a safe space. Whatever the mood, we work through it together and ensure we appreciate each other's energy. I hope I am making an impact with our little scholars and hope they cherish our life-long lessons.
