I teach because I make a difference in the world of education. Teaching is a very rewarding profession for me.  Every day is challenging and exciting.  I teach because of my wonderful parents.  They were my first teachers and role models.  I teach because of my wonderful grandmother.  Her name was Belle Cullipher.
I know I make a difference in the lives of my students.  Many students still keep in touch with me. Hearing success stories…keeps me in the teaching profession. 
I know I have made a difference!
