Introduction:

I'm a university graduate who currently writes for a newspaper in the United States. Throughout my entire life I have interacted with numerous teachers and served as a teacher to others, though not professionally. Teachers represent the most important part of society because they shape the youth of the coming generation. I am a passionate, driven, and hard-working individual who has a passion for knowledge and bestowing that knowledge unto others. I have a firm grasp of the English language and I am bi-lingual. I learned German as an adult so I understand the process of learning a new language. I understand that it can be difficult, frustrating and at times demoralizing, but in the end becoming competent in a foreign language is one of the most rewarding feelings.
