I am in my third year of teaching with four little ones of my own. I want to be able to enhance and inspire the minds of my students or as I call them my "other kids"! My students are fun, loving, and eager to learn! My students are always seeking answers to their inquisitive minds. I can relate to my students on many levels because I too grew up in Compton and attended a nearby elementary school. My students come to school to be safe, to be loved, and to be taught! I know that it isn't always safe to go outside especiallly after dark because of the high volume of violence In the neighborhood. I want my students to learn and indulge on all of the teaching I can provide them with the tools that I have and can acquire! My students' parents can't always provide the tools they need, so this is why I am here to seek your help to make success happen!
