Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Education is the key success in life and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students
Additional Information
I have worked in the Financial Industry until it was clear that my passion was to become a teacher. I enjoy working, teaching and molding children's minds. I know the impact I have on children is something that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. I have had some teachers that was not the best while i was in primary school and believe as a teacher you are able to get the best out of a child by treating them as individuals and not just a number in your class rooms. I want to be remember as the teacher that has made a huge impact in the life of each and every student that has crossed paths with me
