"It makes me more humble to the individual differences of the children, cater for their needs, which I can handle with a lot of love and patience, thus working harder than I plan to."

What is your greatest challenge in teaching?
“Dealing with children and parents who are extremely needy, living in helpless situations, and trying to convince them that one day they will be the same as others."


What is your greatest joy in teaching?
“To see the children physically, emotionally, spiritually, cognitively grow and change for the better."

What Bible verse is God using in your life in a special way right now?
