I believe success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing you will be successful. That's why I want to teach. I'm willing to help children to grow into successful learners in order to help them to become productive individuals out in society. My name is Mary Jane, I have two year of experience in teaching and helping other teachers within the classroom. I'm an energetic, self-motivated, creative, resourceful, and flexible professional with strong communication skills and work well independently or on a team. I am able to adapt to changing priorities and maintaining a positive attitude.
