From the moment I first stepped into Rolling Meadows, I fell in love with the school's atmosphere and environment. I have been teaching for seven years and have loved every minute. Teaching has been a dream of mine since I was very little. Most of my free time spent as a child was playing school. After several successful careers in the business sector, I made a decision to become a teacher. It is truly the hardest job that I have ever had. Thomas Browne wrote, "Rough diamonds may sometimes be mistaken for worthless pebbles." I believe like a rough diamond a child can shine brilliantly with much care and love. Thank you for entrusting your most prized possessions with me.
