My digital story

Activities that I enjoy
When I'm not busy with school work I enjoy engaging in a variety of activities. One of my favorite activities is running. In 2006, I had the privilege and honor of both running and completing the New York marathon. I hope to encourage my students to physically fit, as I believe that its important to be healthy in both body and mind.
insight and knowledge.knowledge of their own.
My favorite thing to do is to travel. Over the short span of my life I've had the great opportunity to travel to a great number of places. I hope to share my knowledge of these travels in the classroom, as well as initiate field trips. Because I believe that the best lessons are taught outside the classroom.
