What makes teaching the greatest job in the world is… the students! This was true when I was a first-grade teacher, and it is also true at the university. Teaching is the greatest profession because every day you have the opportunity to have a positive impact on someone else’s life.
The best advice I’ve ever gotten about teaching is… who you are is more important than what you teach.
When I have 30 minutes of free time, you can find me… talking to my mom on the phone. I have four brothers and no sisters, and my mom is my best friend!
My advice to incoming freshmen is… you will find what you are looking for, so look for the good.
