My journey to becoming a teacher began just as I sent my oldest son, Adam. off to college. With the help of my daughter, Hannah, who was in high school at the time, I managed to face the challenges of algebra, technology and entering college late in life. I graduated from the University of Michigan, Flint in 2004, and have since completed a masters in reading at Oakland University. I entered the wonderful world of middle school in the fall of 2005.
