Many years ago, in a small town named Smithville, in a small middle school class room, a young impressionable girl was given a gift from God in the form of a wonderful teacher name Jacqueline Smith. Little did I know or realize at that time, that the living example God put in front of me would prove to be a lasting influence on my life. Her kind heart, professional manner, gentle discipline and effective teaching helped to open a child’s mind to a world beyond that small town and classroom.
