What teacher made a difference in your life, and how?
One specific teacher that made a difference on my life was my sixth grade teacher. Something that has always stuck with me and has pushed me to become the best teacher I can be is how strong of a relationship we formed and how I could genuinely tell she really cared for her students and their success. By creating a strong relationship with her students, including myself, it truly did affect every aspect of my life. This one specific teacher made me realize how strong of an impact a teacher can have on his/her students.

Stonehill College
What did you like about your college?
There weren’t too many things I didn’t like about college, especially Stonehill. What drew me to Stonehill was the beautiful campus and the tight knit community.
