I am currently in my seventh year as a special education teacher at the middle school level. My career as an educator began in Ozone Park and has continued there to this day.

What would you advise others about teaching?

My advice to others about teaching would be to be patient and understanding. There are days when you are going to want to throw in the towel but always remember that tomorrow is another day. We must always remember where our students come from and that they need constant support and guidance. As educators we need to be role models for our students and remember that they look up to us to guide them through their lives.
