I hold myself to a very high standard. I have had

many jobs, and struggled professionally prior to
becoming a teacher. Now that I have found a job that
I love, I don’t want to do anything that could
jeopardize the my career. That is selfish, but true.
Additionally, I feel a great responsibility to give each
student the best education I can. Only by holding
myself to a high standard can this be accomplished.
