"As a science teacher, I try to instill in my students the same kind of curiosity and enthusiasm about the natural world that I possess. This is rarely a challenge since these qualities come naturally to children; however, it is also my responsibility to help guide my students to scientific understanding. Therein lies the challenge- and much of the joy- of teaching. There is nothing quite like experiencing moments of discovery and understanding through the eyes of a child."
