Charnissia Smith

Houston. Texas

Don't worry about pronouncing my name right...just call me "MiMi." I can hear your sigh of relief...many people have tried to say my name, but have failed miserably...but it's OK. I am a 2013 Teach For America Corps Member. I am living the life...a hard knock one if you're familiar with Annie, Jay-Z, and of course, the teaching profession. When I am not ordering books for my classroom library, I am exercising at the YMCA or writing furiously in my journal. I love to work out and learn new languages. Within the next two years, I hope to be in business school and become fluent in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and French. Yes, these are very ambitious goals...but that's me...ambitious.
