High School - 9th Grade
English / Literature / Writing
I love reading, and have a particular love and passion for the Harry Potter series, as it has inspired many of my students to love reading. I also love working on the computer and internet. My real passion is traveling and doing mission work with my husband and my church. I have also found great enjoyment in reading and sharing the Twilight series with my daughters. We have bonded quite a bit over these books.
