Summary
I made the decision to complete my teaching degree while I was working in the education sector in order to be involved in the classroom on a daily basis. My days were filled with working during the day and self-study of a night time. Throughout the years I have grown, developed and become the best teacher I could possibly be but, I am always looking for new and exciting challenges to become an even better teacher for the benefit of my students.
