Mother-Professional
My mom has been in the health care systems for years dealing with math and numbers. When I was little she taught me to love numbers. She always would check my math homework and show me different ways of finding the answer. It has impacted my teaching today because she has gotten me to where I love numbers, and numbers never change, like words do. Numbers in math come easy for me because I love solving, and teaching kids how to solve and find ways to find the answer just like my mom taught me. -
