I teach third grade at a public school here in Chicago and I love teaching and I love children. I have a beautiful 12 yr. old niece and a 2 yr. old nephew. No children of my own. I have a black belt in Hapkido; I really enjoy the martial arts when I have time to practice. I like working out at the gym, playing tennis during my summer vacation, shopping, playing with my niece and nephew, reading, and doing research on the internet. I'm also a Star Trek fan and my brother & I have been to 1 Star Trek convention. I'm still trying to adjust to my dad's stroke even though its been a year now.
