"Making a difference in the life of a child has inspired me to become a teacher," Jo-Ann says. "Over the years I have touched many children's lives. It's great when a former student returns as an adult to share the special memories that evolved from classroom experiences with you. Teaching keeps you young at heart and, as my grandsons have repeatedly said, 'Nana, you are just a big kid!'"
