Favorite or Most Impactful Teacher Growing Up
Mrs. Nita Shipp was my high school English and French teacher. I had the privilege of teaching next door to her when I started teaching at the school where I graduated. We share the love of reading, teaching, and traveling. I’m thankful Nita became such a good friend and encourager to me.
