Cursing, stealing, fighting, skipping school, and disrespecting my mom. Those were just some of the things I would do on a daily basis nearly 14 years ago. I didn't have any goals in life rather known  what were goals.   I didn't pretty much care if I became a victim of city property.  I had very little communication with my mom or anybody in my  family. I had the worst attitude for no reason.  There were many teachers that tried to do intervention,  but I disrespected them as well and they've given up on me. Out of the many teachers, there was one teacher who I also disrespected,  but she did not give up on me. It was the famous Ms. Copeland aka Ms. Joella. 

She was both  persistent and consistent and never stopped for a moment to give up on me. She would utilize her lunch and prep time to push me as well teach me how life is so precious.  She also encouraged me to know and believe the I am someone and will make a difference.  Oh my God, 14 years later, I can honestly proudly say she saved my life.  I now work for the city instead of becoming a part of  their statistic. I am doing really well, and have great communication skills with my mom and family members. I am never disrespectful and most importantly,  I have a goals now  which I am positively currently reaching. 

Thank Soooooooooo much, and I'll never forget you. I love you...:)

Every parent of an elementary school child needs to have a Ms. Cee in their life.  My son, who wasn't always interested in doing school work loved learning with Ms. Cee.  She made learning fun and set the bar high for her students.  She connected with her students on a deep personal level and was always there to support their efforts.  Those students who were weak she gave them confidence to tackle those hard questions.  I will never forget Ms. Cee since she was their for my family when my son lost his father.  She was there to comfort him in those rough patches and help keep him focused.  Even when Ms. Cee was no longer my child's teacher she offered her services for tutoring after school.  I highly recommend Ms. Cee and would like to extend thanks again for all her help.

If you're looking for someone who is passionate and dedicated to their job, then I highly recommend Ms. Joella Copeland as a teacher, tutor or mentor. Her willingness to assist children of all ages is phenomenal. She definitely helps develop a child's memory and comprehension skills, by individually catering to their needs. I couldn't suggest anyone else to get the job done well.
