I am a Teacher Librarian, wife, mother, and community member. My 4 children are all young adults so I have a little more time now than previously. However, it is harder to watch them make the mistakes and poor choices when you no longer can have much of an impact. Consequently it is hard not to worry.
I love being with students and helping shape lives - one at a time. I subscribe to the "guide on the side" theory and do the best I can for each and every student every day. I abhor the current political climate regarding teachers and actively try to educate the general public about how hard most teachers work, what it is we do and why.
