I’ve been at Tallwood Elementary for two years, 20 years total in the system. I started at Cox High School and was there for over 15 years, then I opened up the new Kellam.
What do you like about your work?
Everything! I think, meeting new people because you’re here more than you are at home. It’s like family more than anything. Also, I like the kids because my kids are grown. They’re away in college. So, you still take that responsibility of being a mother as you work and you see a child and you can tell there is something wrong. For me, I love the kids here more than anything.
What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving season?
I cannot complain about anything. When it comes to living, just living life to the fullest. Just reaching your stars. Anything you want out there – your destiny, go get it! I think I put that a lot into my kids: Don’t say what you can’t do, just try. Try and you can.
