"I do my very best to make school fun for the students and to make them feel they are all the best," says Eloise Alford, a second grade teacher at Columbia Primary School in Columbia. Ms. Alford feels her greatest accomplishment is being able to "reach" her students, and she makes a point of having each of her students feel special. Ms. Alford was encouraged by her parents to pursue her early desire to become a teacher. The fulfillment of that desire today allows her to actively provide for her students' educational, social, and emotional development.
