“As a high school teacher, I want to be that last bit of hope in the life of a young person who is embarking the rest of their life. I make it my priority to assist in preparation for the obstacles that may come along throughout life’s journey with a mindset to never settle or give up. Teaching intentionally to reach the goal of content mastery I will always make it my business to develop accountability, professionalism, confidence, motivation and drive. Some may say that there are some people that can’t be taught, but I say teach them anyway! Students come from all different walks of life no matter the race, size, learning abilities or income level, I'm ready to meet them where they're at it's my purpose to make a difference and bring people along with me to do it also." - M. Oates
