Who was your most influential mentor and what did they teach you?
My most influential mentor was, and still is, a 70 year-old behavior specialist, named Reba Smith, at Orange Grove Center, Inc., Chattanooga, Tennessee. She is my HERO and I am also proud to call her one of my best friends. She deserves great comendations for the work accomplished teaching mentally-challenged children. She, over years, gained great knowledge and the "best" practices in which to use to teach "special" students. She is just phenomenal in the field of education! She always has the best interest of the student at heart, and I admire her perserverence, knowledge and dedication sustained over years of teaching "special" children. If I am lucky, one day, I hope to be as good as she. With her by my side as a great mentor, I am sure I will be.......

How would you describe your time at Carson-Newman College?
The teaching and educational program offered at the school was was exceptional. However, the administration did not follow the policies and rules set in place to assure and protect fair treatment of its students. I left the school with a college degree, however, not the one originally sought. Most important, the college educational department gave unsubstantiated reasons for their negate actions completely opposite of their written college policies.
