Mrs. Ballard has an implausibly noteworthy life!!! Her childhood was great! She was born here in Baltimore, Maryland. Mrs. Ballard has two older brothers. When she was a child,

her hobbies were swimming and bike riding. She also loved playing with her friends and playing school in her basement. Her exciting hobbies now are walking her dog, biking, and spending time with her family. As a child, she always wanted to be a teacher. Her goal hasn't changed since. She's always wanted to be a teacher because she loves to be around kids and loves to watch them grow and learn. She also learns from her students each and every day. She got her wonderful teaching degree at Towson University. Her favorite subject to teach is science. The most exciting thing that happened to Mrs. Ballard is when she got married on October 1st 2005. She is most proud that that she was able to become a teacher and is working on her Master's Degree in Reading Education. The most faraway and exhilarating place she's ever been to is Hawaii. Mrs. Ballard's life is entirely captivating.
