Outside of teaching, she enjoys keeping a beautiful yard, playing volleyball, teaching Sunday school, and enjoying life with family.
Teaching is a continuous learning experience with rewarding results. Students are the number one factor in our education experience. When you see a child’s faces light up and they share the fact that they understand and can apply what they have learned is the ultimate payoff for teachers. Student--teacher interaction and classroom engagement are the factors that motivate a learning experience. Helping a child uncover their talent and obtain a future career is also important. Floresville teachers leave a positive impression on students and help them develop a rewarding future. Marie is proud to be the high school teachers as the teacher of the year representative. Education is a continuous cycle of teaching and learning. Every day is different then the next one. In the end the rewards all rest on the contributions the students will make to society. After they leave our doors, a student will become the teachers of tomorrow either in life or in the classroom.
