Hi. I love your videos. I love your story as well. You are a great teacher and I'm very inspired by all your videos. My name is Wanda and I am an elementary english teacher in Puerto Rico. I teach Kinder and first graders. I became a teacher as a desire of my parents. By this time of my life I love teaching my kids. I would love to have a classroom as nice and beautiful as yours.
