Tell us something interesting about yourself that your students might not know.
My father had a second grade-level education, and my mother reached just the sixth grade. As they did all they could to keep seven children feed and clothed, I learned from their sacrifices and was able to reach the highest level of education. I owe my personal drive business accomplishments and overall achievements to my parents.
