Greetings. I am an English teacher of grades 7-12. I last taught in North Carolina in a small school where I had to prepare for a lot of different classes each day (six), but many of the classes were quite small (the smallest was six students). From this I learned to work hard in preparing for my classes and to pay careful attention to each individual in my class.

Politics caught my attention when I was a student. I earned a Bachelor's degree in political science at Eastern Michigan University. Later, I attended gra... Read more
