"As an art teacher, I believe the act of passing down knowledge becomes a powerful force in maintaining a sense of identity and continuity for the next generation. Every skill we learn are a calling for us and by teaching we provide students with opportunities to explore new concepts, practice their abilities, and build confidence. By teaching we build deeper relationships that makes us, and those around us happier. I am grateful to God for bestowing upon me this priceless gift of creativity, which is definitely a blessing."
