All+About+Me

I wear many hats. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I am a student. I enjoy spending time with my family. I LOVE the beach. I take solace in cool, wet, cloudy days. I am thoughtful. I am open and honest. I am a work in progress.  ** __I BRING __ ** I bring my excitement for learning. I bring my desire to help children grow and learn. I bring my manners; thank you, please, and excuse me, and no thank you. I bring my hope that by modeling positive mannerisms they will not be lost in a generation. I bring kindness, honesty, hard work and persistence. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I bring heart. <span style="color: black;
