Why is journalism important?
Having your voice out in the world is necessary. Part of humanity’s path in life is to leave something of ourselves behind, a legacy. Our thoughts should be shared with other people.
What’s the biggest struggle you’ve had to overcome as a teacher?
Balancing my schedule has been the biggest struggle for me. The amount of time I spend at the school has been greater than the time I spend at home and I used to take home work every day. Now, I feel more balanced but my timesheet may state otherwise.
