Tell me one thing about yourself that makes you stand out against other English teaching candidates.

"In my free time, I love working with music. Whether I play, listen, or a little of both, music expresses the heart of our world. I truly believe music connects in my English classes. I have used it over the years to connect with individuals that have not been excited about the subject. By bringing in my guitar or writing a rap parody of a novel we are reading, music has spoken to my past students."
