I am Shemeika Morgan Collington from the beautiful Island of Jamaica. I had taught in my country for 7 awesome years and entering my second year teaching at this noble institution Pickett at Fourth Grade. I have a Honorary Bachelor's Degree in Primary (Elementary) Education and soon to begin my Masters. I have a passion for teaching which I do from my heart as I represent the master teacher Jesus Christ. I am happily married and one thing about me, I love my family. They are all I have. My guiding philosophy is ' Nothing is impossible with God, pray, believe and receive!'.
Morgan-Collington, Shemeika
