Nothing is impossible - it just takes a little longer.

I saw a great need in the community to assist adults with lifestyle-literacy.

Beware of the false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning". ~ Albert Einstein

I love teaching and it is based on my chosen quotes. Helping/teaching people learning how to read and write, in order to be able to enjoy their life, is rather difficult yet the most honoring and rewarding job.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
~ Mother Teresa

The Family Literacy Committee came to Crestview to read to the children. I told the group that once I retired from teaching I would like to join them and go around to classes and read to the children. Beth called me and asked if I wanted to join TLE and become a tutor. I accepted.

Love what you do rather than do what you love. With this in mind, I learn to see the positive sides of events.

I had quit my job a few months earlier and I wanted to do something that I always liked: tutoring and teaching. I was very encouraged by the welcoming atmosphere at TLE and the reception of the students.

Wisdom begins in wonder.
~ Socrates

The love of reading and writing is what led me to volunteer at TLE. Making a difference for someone who has the motivation to learn and/or improve their reading and writig skills is what is keeping me at TLE.
