I was raised by my Grandmother who was an educator for 37 years
I have several aunts and uncles who are retired educators, so this is in my blood.
I have three sisters and one brother, as well as a niece who was born on my birthday (Secret)
No children of my own, but all the students I teach, I treat them and love them like they are my own!!! (Great grandmother material!!)
