What’s your current occupation?
Teacher
How did your experiences at Sanford help you to reach your educational/professional goals?
Wouldn’t have done it without them – still sitting at a desk to date.
What was the most valuable lesson that you learned while a student at Sanford?
To always be willing to learn through good & bad.
What is your fondest memory during your time at Sanford?
The pit.
Is there anyone in particular who had a major impact during your time at Sanford?
A few teachers come to mind; I wasn’t always a “good” kid - I was up and down; a lot of teachers were my lord and savior ensuring my basic needs were met to get me back on track academically.
What advice do you have for current Sanford students?
Just do it. Just get it done but hold onto every moment and memory possible. It happens so fast and you never know when that is the last time you might see them.
