FAVORITE LESSON TO TEACH: I enjoy many lessons but I think my favorite is team building. Students have to achieve a goal as a team. This is very challenging to most students, but when they communicate with each other and help each other they can achieve any goal.
FAVORITE TEACHER: Ronney Hunter PE teacher at Newberry Middle. Coach Hunter was very personable and easy going. He always cared about his students and wanted the best for them. I try to live by this as a teacher and coach.
