Education is not only the most important tool we can equip a student with, but it is vital to our future success. Being an educator, although sometimes challenging, is the most rewarding profession there is. Students all learn at different rates and environments so it is the responsibility of each educator to best fulfill the needs of the individual students. Organization is also a crucial aspect of any classroom and, passion and enthusiasm are key ingredients to any great learning atmosphere.
