My dad is my entire world-he inspired me to teach from a young age and has provided me guidance through every avenue of my life. My graduation day was special for many reasons but the biggest was because of how proud of me he was. I am the first to graduate with multiple honors and now I am the first to complete a master's program-only a few months to go!
