- A huge variety in personalities from my students
- Being a safe place, or listening ear for students who struggle emotionally

"I think the most rewarding experience is when students finally have an "Ah-hah" moment - that moment when they finally learned something and get it. Also, forming relationships with students who come back to you even years later to say "Hi" and let you know what a positive impact you've had on their lives."
