I am a retired public school teacher. In the 33 years that I taught, I went from Kindergarten to ending up the last 6 years teaching pre-algebra in 8th grade. I retired in 2009 and missed teaching so much that I am now teaching part time at a technical college here in Florence (FDTC)!! I absolutely love it! I have 3 children (and their spouses which equals 6) and 4 grandchildren! They are the center of my life and one of the main reasons, after improving my health, that I am trying, ONCE AGAIN, to lose weight!! I am determined to do it this time! I ask for any motivation you can give!! I, in turn, will try to do the same for you!
