To my future students,
Teaching is a passion. Everyone who becomes a teacher dreams of the day where they have a classroom of their own. They dream of the plans they will create, and the lessons the students will learn. They dream of the field trips, reading groups, flashcards, and books. They dream of arts and crafts, and dishing out the A+s. They dream of the endless possibilities on how their students will succeed. To my future students, I am already so proud of each and everyone of you, and I am so excited to call you all my students.
