Activities Involved In With Arthur Schools:  Sophomore Class Sponsor

I Enjoy: reading, spending time with family, teaching, & relaxing

What Inspired me to become a teacher:

I had the world's best teachers when I went to school (most of them still teach here).
I hoped to take a fraction of what they taught me & apply it to my teaching.

Why I enjoy Teaching:

Nothing thrills me more than to see the underdog achieve a goal he thought impossible.

What I like about Arthur and Arthur Schools:

Since I grew up in Arthur, I know how this school stands out among surrounding
schools. This town is very close-knit and supportive. Arthur schools have high, but
realistic expectations.

What I would do if I was not a Teacher:

I can't picture myself doing anything else. However, I would volunteer for non-profit
organizations.

Favorite Quote:

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Best Advice for Students:

Get the most out of school as you can because you will be more prepared for the
real world whether you attend college or not.
