ABOUT ME…
I am a 2007 graduate of Churchland High School located in Portsmouth, VA, where I was born and raised. I have been babysitting and working with children for a few years now and I really enjoy it. I like to read and I have a major addiction to food and text messaging (at least 15,000 a month) and I love all types of music. I can be contacted at [swald004@odu.edu].

WHY TEACHING???
In my opinion teaching can be a very rewarding experience if it what someone really wants to do. Passion should be the first characteristic of teaching. Teaching changes lives, therefore it requires major work and dedication that is often taken for granted. Effective teachers must enjoy what they do; they must be very understanding, firm, good observers, audience centered in terms of vocabulary and the content of what they say and most of all treat students with respect and never talk as if they are better than the students.
