Introduction	Everyday I feel lucky to spend more than half of my day in a place I enjoy, working with people I like. Everyday I thank God for helping me select a career I love. I feel blessed to have a job I like. I strongly believe that education helps you reach your dreams and live the life you hoped. I believe that happiness can be attained in a lifetime; you just have to know what makes you happy. What makes me happy is seeing students succeed, reaching their goals, and being on their way to a happy life.

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

I remember putting coins in my mouth when I was a kid. How nasty! Sometimes I would bite them too hard and I would worry of losing a tooth.
