As students claim, I really have taught for over a "thousand years," so, for now, please assume I'm either crazy or well on the way.  Teaching is my passion, and, as one who represents the fourth generation of teachers in my family, I come from a long line of patient relatives who enjoy the excitement of school and the immeasurable joy of learning.  My husband, who was a golf pro when we met, hails from a family of golfers.  In jest, we say our daughter will either be a golf pro with excellent grammar, or an English teacher who "hits the links" every afternoon.  Actually, we'll let her decide.
    As a graduate of Miami University and Ohio State, I originally taught kindergarten north of Columbus in Galion.  Now, after a difficult day with eighth graders, I wonder if there's any difference in my experience.  Some who are not parents of fourteen-year-olds doubt this observation.  Parents of middle school students often share this insight. All kidding aside, I would not teach if I didn't enjoy the challenge, the students, the school, and the wonderful community which supports my endeavors.
