Caroline Kaigh:
Still Teaching, Still Learning
One summer during college, Caroline Kaigh got a job as a counselor with a community service educational program for homeless high school students. Little did she know her first day with the program would change her life. The teacher responsible for instructing the class never showed up. Armed with a vast amount of tutoring experience, Kaigh stepped in and took control. It was then that she realized she had a love for teaching.
