About Me

One of my favorite quotes is by a man named Richard Bach. Here it is:"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. We are all learners, doers, teachers."Some of my best teachers have been my students. I am certain that I learn far more from them than they learn from me. Each semester they teach me how to be a better teacher.To all of my students, I appreciate each and every one of you!
