Q. What made you want to become a teacher?

A. Being a teacher was not my first choice.  I actually went to college and got my undergraduate degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management.  My parents were both in education, my mom was actually a Special Education teacher, and I guess that is why I wanted to seek a different field of employment.  Also, with the hospitality degree, I thought I was going to do something really cool and travel the world.  Reality set in after graduation and I did not get the lavish job I was hoping for.  I ended up going back to school and receiving my teaching license, which was the best decision I could’ve made!
