Having accomplished my student teaching, and passing all of my classes, it was time to finally “Walk” through graduation. The wait for this accomplishment took 14 years, due to the fact that I couldn’t graduate with my high school class. Otterbein College would give me the opportunity to earn the best education possible. My mom made many sacrifices to help me make that dream come true. Thank you mom! It was on to substitute teaching, where frustration, honor, and many gifts would be realized in the next five years.

Two and a half days later arriving at the McCurdy School in Espanola, New Mexico. There, I would spend twelve weeks, student teaching, and experiencing some of the most wonderful people, and some of the most beautiful landscapes I would ever know. My dream to go to the edge would take a few turns, and would take a little longer than most to be realized. Eleven years later, I would be given the opportunity to join another group of wonderful people who have a mission to preserve, and to educate the world about Stark County, and our Twenty-Fifth President, William Mckinley.
