What’s to like?
There’s no better place to grow — there are so many opportunities. When you teach, you constantly learn. I’m also told when you teach young people, you’ll always feel young. I’ll find out if that’s true in a few years!

Aside from the rewards and fun that come with teaching, I appreciate having the summer off to spend with family.
