WHAT IS THE BEST PART OF YOUR JOB – The best part of my job is that I often work with the same students for multiple years, so I get to witness their progression as they grow and learn from year to year. Also, my students genuinely make me laugh each day. They tell the best stories and keep me well-supplied with corny jokes to tell family and friends.
