About Me

I really enjoy teaching and working with students of all ages. It is a blessing to be a part of the process of enriching lives. It is one of life's greatest rewards. I love these quotes: From the movie Rudy (1993): Sometimes a winner is a dreamer who just won't quit. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. -Dr. Seuss Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. - Goethe If you judge people, you have no time to love them. - Mother Teresa It's all about character. Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. watch your character; it becomes your destiny. -Frank Outlaw
