Why I Teach...

Learning changes everything...perspectives, feelings, ideas, beliefs, actions, attitudes, and lives.  It's a powerful and wonderful thing to have the privilege of helping others to learn.
In the process of teaching I am first and foremost, a student.  I believe we were designed to crave understanding, truth, knowledge, and wisdom.  This insatiable desire to learn is what propels me to be the best teacher I can be.  I teach beacause I love to learn and I want my students to love -- to learn.  I believe that both are necessary for life.  That is why I teach.

I agree - awesome pictures of Germany! One of my goals is to travel to Europe someday. Maybe the next time we meet you could share your experience!
