Greers Ferry High School - My graduating class only had 21 Students!


Growing up in a small town seeing the influence school and teachers had on people made me want to become an educator!

This experience instilled in me that hard work can pay off and put you into situations that you only dreamed of!


I continue this today as wanting to be an educator as it gives me motivation that if I work hard, I can do whatever I set my mind too!

The University of Arkansas was for sure not that!


Having this experience helped me realize different point of views of the world and the value in getting to know so many other people!


Everyone has a story!!
