An Interview with Mrs.Stanley
by Jessica De Francis
In high school, Ms. Brisco (which was her maiden name), had to start thinking about what she wanted to become. She thought about her 3rd grade teacher, who was the person that inspired her to become a teacher. Following her dream, she went to Suny Cortland University for her undergraduate and Stony Brook University for her graduate degree. First, she started teaching in nursery school music. Then, Mrs. Stanley became a 7th grade aide and special education teacher. Finally, she became a 5th grade teacher and has been teaching ever since. She started teaching in 1995 and has been teaching for 21 years. She now spends her free time on vacations, at the beach, and playing golf!
