My students are sharp, spirited, and never short on opinions鈥攐r jokes. Whether they鈥檙e writing persuasive essays, delivering dramatic monologues, or debating who really understands poetry, they bring energy and laughter into the room every single day. In Speech, they turn everyday ideas into powerful performances. In Theater, they slip into characters with flair and confidence (sometimes too much confidence!). They鈥檙e quick-witted, wildly creative, and often unintentionally hilarious. Even when they鈥檙e pushing the limits of a group project鈥攐r my patience鈥攖hey鈥檙e doing it with heart. These students keep me on my toes and remind me daily why teaching is such a joy.
