Hi fellow Sparklers! My name is Steph and I'm a teacher in a small rural community. I teach reading and language arts to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. Being a teacher is truly rewarding but has been the hardest thing (physically, mentally, andemotionallyy) I've done.

Hi fellow Sparklers! My name is Steph and I'm a teacher in a small rural community. I teach reading and language arts to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. Being a teacher is truly rewarding but has been the hardest thing (physically, mentally, andemotionallyy) I've done.
