Here's a list of 20 reasons:
1. Because by the grace of God I am what I am, and that gift to me is not without effect
2. Because I received a top-notch education through public schools, and
3. Because I think that the best way for me to give back is to provide the same opportunity for other communities.
4. Because I learned discipline, teamwork, and perseverance through school sports.
5. Because I learned how to be organized and how to plan events by being a class officer
6. Because I battled anorexia, and won, and I want to tell my girls that they are beautiful and they are loved.
7. Because my parents taught me to love God and love my neighbor, and
8. Because I believe that my "neighbor" is anyone in need- not just someone who looks like me, talks like me, or acts like me.

10. Because I want to get a hold of my students before drugs do.
11. Because I believe that faith without works is dead.
12. Because every child deserves someone who believes in their potential

19. Because they call me friend
20. Because they call me teacher
