"Teaching is an incredible experience. It doesn't matter what mood
I'm in when I get there, as soon as I am teaching I am so happy.
When students understand, make a breakthrough or get excited about
something they've done, I feel good. It's a feeling that can't be
matched in any other way." - Lorraine DiAnne Shihan
