College Attended: Edinboro University of Pennsylvania/NCCU

Why I am a Teacher: School was not easy for me, but I always was being asked by friends to help or assigned by teachers to help others who struggled more than I did. It seemed like a natural progression. Plus, looking at blueprints boggles my mind so I opted out of the idea of an Architect.

Heroes: My heroes are anyone who fights for the underdogs, who encourage them, and who sees their potential.

Favorite Book: To Kill a Mockingbird
