I enjoy traveling and seeing other places. My students have always been a joy to me and I am so glad I was able to be a teacher. It has been my way to give back by teaching students. Family is very important to me also. My two daughters and three grandsons have been a great joy to me. I am now looking forward to my next adventure in being a great-grandmother.
