Biography

I have wanted to be a teacher ever since first grade, but the Lord showed me in my first semester at ÃÛÌÒapp that German (not math) was what I truly enjoyed and could master.  In the 16 times that I coordinated GAPP exchanges, I have helped students fulfill the purpose of learning another language that David Smith and Barbara Carvill detail in their book, The Gift of the Stranger.  That is:  they have to opportunity, because they can communicate in another language, to be a blessing as hosts in the USA and as guests in Germany.   i also like words and love grammar and appreciate good literature, so this profession has been good for me.

 

I am married to Bob Houskamp and, when i am not teaching, help him run Houskamp's Auto Service.  We have two grown children and three cats.
