How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

I had previously looked into Educators Without Borders, and was reading my BCTF Teacher' Newsmagazine and saw an article about Teachers Without Borders. I became a teacher later in life because I just want to make a positive difference in this world of ours : ). I love what I do, and, am very committed and passionate about helping students believe in themselves. To see the spark start to light up in their eyes is the most humbling and amazing feeling. To me, that is what teaching is all about!
