“From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. My father was a doctor and my mother was a nurse, so they frequently encouraged me to enter the medical field. But, I have always had a strong desire to teach. I can remember way back in junior high and high school analyzing my teachers to determine what qualities made up good teachers!” – Angela Morris
