I have taken my passion for learning and used it to help me excel in many areas of my life. I hope one day to get my teaching degree in music, and a good majority of the reason for this is that I enjoy helping others succeed. I love getting kids excited about the subject they're learning. And I don't believe that it should all be serious. I think the best way to learn, and retain knowledge too, is by making the learning process fun.
