It is my hope that you realize the potential within yourself, the value of hard work and a post-secondary education. Let's work together to make sure you are able to achieve your educational as well as personal goals! You will be responsible for a great deal and I will push you. However, along the way I would like to have a little fun too!
It's going to be a great year and I can't wait to help you achieve your dreams and goals!
