“It is a surreal experience. I didn’t think I would be a teacher here when I was a student at Lakewood Ranch. It is crazy because a lot of the staff from when I went to school here is the same,” said Paravicini.

Paravicini enjoys that all the students are just as hard working and focused as they were when he attended.
“They try their best all of the time and are respectful as well. The atmosphere at Lakewood Ranch is what has made teaching here so far enjoyable,” stated Paravicini.
