London Eaves is excited to have her very own classroom for the first time. A Florida International University graduate, Eaves said she couldn't have imagined going into any profession other than teaching — despite all the concerns about increasing state mandates, low pay and other woes that many veteran educators have voiced in recent years. Why? Teachers supported and encouraged her as a child, and and she looks forward to making a difference in her own students' lives. Eaves attended new teacher training in her Pasco County district this week, and she spoke with reporter Jeff Solochek about her plans, expectations, and why she wants to teach.
