In response to question #5 , teaching has added great meaning to my life. Infact, the reason I chose to go into teaching was to have a job that I not only enjoy but to have a meaningful career that impacts others. Teaching is not only teaching valuable tools for students lifelong learning sucess, but for me I find it a place where I am able to impact a students emotions, self-confidence and much more. I look at it as an oppurtunity to embrace each student's uniqueness and celebrate them for who they are, whether they are the smartest kid in the class, or the one who struggles beyond belief. I so enjoy loving on them, encouraging them and being a person they can trust and depend on in their lives. It adds to my happiness because doing good for others is a very fufilling thing in life!
In response to question #10, if I were to dedicate my work to someone, it would be my Jesus! Everything I do is for him! I not only feel that teaching is my work, but my oppurtunity to please God with the way I treat others at work, encourage and inspire the students and strive for excellence in what I do. I dedicate my work to Him because he is the reason why I am here and I want to serve him to the best of my abilities in all that I do, especially my work!

I have the pleasure of working with Ashley everyday and will tell you all that the light of Christ shines through her in all she does. She is one of the most caring teachers I have ever worked with and is so skilled both as an artist and a teacher. We are so blessed to have had her for these past two years as our art specialist. Never have I seen more beautiful art work (that our students take such pride in!) than has glorified our halls since she came. And if you haven't seen the amazing mural she painted in the Beech Elementary School library, it is worth a trip by our school just to see it! She is one teacher that students will always remember because she is very "high touch" as Daniel Pink puts it! I could write a true-life mini saga about her for each of the six senses in this book that relates to her positive touch on the lives of others, and most especially our students. But I will spare everyone my dreadful, out-of-practice writing tonight!
