Summary
I have been teaching for 21 years and I love my job. Everyday I go to my school and students with a smiley face and energetically. I love working with my peers in a team. That's why I always chose team sports :) I'm a kinesthetic person so I'm so active both in class and school. I love coming up with new ideas for every department in the school, I can say that I'm a little bit creative. I prepared 6 musicals so far in my school. I have been working in the same school for 18 years and I've been the head of the department almost 8 years. I feel proud when I see my students achieve their goals and I'm always there for them even after they graduate. Shortly, I love being a teacher and teaching.
