Why do I teach?    I often say that I did not choose education; education chose me. Teaching has become more than a career—it is my passion and purpose. As a special education teacher, I find joy in watching my students learn new things and overcome challenges. Their determination and resilience inspire me every day, often more than they will ever realize. I am deeply committed to supporting their growth, celebrating their successes, and encouraging them to reach their fullest potential. Teaching is not just what I do—it is who I am.
