My Story

Is there a teacher to whom you owe a debt of gratitude for their belief in you and your capabilities?That one teacher for me was Miss Lillian Biard when I attended school at the Navy base in the Panama Canal Zone. She discovered I liked reading, and her love of teaching her students to read brought her and her students tremendous satisfaction. It was then that I decided to be a teacher like Miss Biard.

A Dog Named Sasha
While I grew up with dogs, I did not have one of my own until Sasha came into my life. She was a German shepherd mix turned into the Humane Society by her family. She sat in her kennel with her back to visitors, but I wanted to look at her anyway.
