Here’s What Teaching Has Taught Me About Life.
Life lessons are hidden in what we teach.

Anyone who has been a teacher before has a unique story to tell. Our experiences in the classroom vary, but our different stories always meet at a common point — We’re tenacious beings.
However, tenacity alone doesn’t give the right results.
