To make their thinking and thinking through problems better and more officiant through rough and tough situations .”

Why did you decide not to go through with your other dreams?

Why do you teach and coach cheer?
“I got asked to coach cheer after my first year of teaching. I had a small dancing background and cheer and dancing are not that far off. Everyone had fun doing it and so do I. I loved seeing these kids live out their passion just like I love seeing the football, baseball and basketball players live out their passion.”
