Teresa Mitchell has always had a passion for learning and teaching. As a child she enjoyed playing school and teaching younger members of her family. Although she veered away from education in the beginning of her college career, she was soon magnetized back to what she loved-teaching. As a teacher for 7+ years of grades 8-12, she has always been acknowledged for maintaining a well-managed classroom. She believes that in order to teach, you have to have control, and in order to have control, it has to be taught.
