MICHIGAN CITY – What a career it has been for Leslie Samelson.
Samelson is retiring after teaching science at Krueger Middle School for 29 years.
She has played many different roles in Michigan City, including coaching cross country, gymnastics and running the robotics club.
It’s all a part of her desire to use her talents to make the world a better place.
“The most rewarding thing in the world is to give up one’s stuff, because that’s the ultimate joy in giving someone a skill that they’ll use the rest of their life,” Samelson said. “Teaching them confidence that they can do things that they never thought they (could) do.”
