Sixteen years ago, I was living in West Africa, doing volunteer work at an international mission school in Ghana. My main job was administrative assistant to the principal, but I also had the opportunity to substitute teach and to teach part-time in the areas of Creative Writing and Music. My two years at that school showed me that I preferred being in the classroom with the students over being in the office with the adults. So I decided to return to the States and pursue my education degree.
