My Project

As a teacher, my life is always busy. However, I went into this field to make a difference in lives and now I need to better educate myself so that I can do just that. To make that difference I need to use my time wisely and having something portable like a laptop will help me use every free second I have no matter where I am.

Growth of me in my career is growth for those I teach to have a better one.

This year will be working on getting some personal development classes and taking training courses that will allow me to sit for more certifications and help me function better as a teacher. Help me grow so that I can help others.
