“My students mean the world to me. I work hard to supply high quality lessons with contagious energy. I work even harder to create everlasting relationships with my students. I love that I get a chance to be a positive role model for each and every student. My job isn’t easy, but being on the front line to help change lives is rewarding. I feel like a superhero.”
