I regard all books as teachers and friends. I have also welcomed children and teenagers as my own teachers by meeting them and reading and writing with them. For me, studying, along with traveling, is a way to find answers to the question of "how to live." Therefore, I always strive to learn and live according to what I have learned. I am a teacher with 22 years of experience, having majored in Counseling Psychology and Creative Writing. In addition, I am studying Havruta reading discussion instruction, Nonviolent Communication certification, and meditation leadership courses. I live each day seeking new ways to move one step forward from yesterday.
