The importance of education has always been stressed throughout my life. As a child, I played school and dreamed of becoming a teacher. I have always believed that children are gifts from God and are our future. These children need to be encouraged to be good Christians and develop to their potential. I feel blessed to be a part of Calvert Catholic Schools as a teacher.
