I landed my first teaching job by following in the footsteps of my father.
I landed my first teaching job because I possess these qualities I would like to think that I can see the potential in all children. Some need a little more help then others, but in the end, kids are kids and they all have unique abilities. It is up to me to find that, tap into it and let them soar.
