Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Doubting myself when I began teaching. I knew the kind of teacher I wanted to become, but it was hard work at the beginning.
How I responded:
To overcome my doubts, I reminded myself why I became a teacher.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
Growing up my parents never let me see how hard it was to put five daughters through college. I learned years later that is was not always easy making ends meet. My parents helped my sisters and I get through college debt free.
