After 20 years as a landscaping business owner, I hung up my rake and joined the honored ranks of primary grade teachers. Then followed 21 years of teaching second grade. Now I work as a full-time substitute teacher in special education. I count myself blessed to work in this wonderful profession with some of the finest colleagues and students there are.
