Teacher of the Week Mrs.Nettles
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? " I plan to stay in education, but I don’t know if I’ll teach my whole life. I definitely see myself as a mother of a few more kids and wife to my great husband! But I hope I’m still working in a profession that is challenging and unexpectantly rewarding."
What is your favorite thing about summers? "I enjoy being able to travel in the summers. I also enjoy the beach!"
What has been your biggest challenge from teaching? "My biggest challenge in teaching has been to leave work at work, and to balance my personal and home life. I’m still learning, but I am hopeful that I’ll get better the longer I work towards it."
What are your hobbies outside of teaching? " I really enjoy cooking and spending time with my friends and family. My husband and I watch the t.v. show, Homeland together and are addicted to it! I enjoy exercising, but don’t do it as often as I should!"
Athlete of the Week: Autumn Porter
What position do you play? "I play hitter."
