     I didn't choose teaching, it chose me.

 At the age of ten, I skipped home from school with my prized possession-- a language book that I had purchased from my teacher. I ran home and made all my friends homework sheets--and I haven't stopped teaching since. I love teaching and whether in an academic setting or in a business setting, I find that there is a great joy in guiding people in the learning process.
