Marguerite C. Anderson is Jamaican-born and a teacher of Literature/Language Arts/History/Drama. She was raised by her paternal grandmother who was an educator and Principal of an elementary school in the community in which Marguerite grew up. Her grandmother made such an impact on her life that it led to Marguerite's decision to choose teaching as the profession she, herself, would embark on.

Connections
Jamaes Arthur Rhodd is the maternal grandfather of Marguerite Anderson. Although Marguerite was raised by her paternal grandmother, she recounts the many stories told to her by her mother of the RHODD family which Marguerite knew little about. What she did learn is that the Rhodd name has produced generations of educators and hence her desire to become a teacher was perhaps a result of more than just her grandmother's impact on her life- it was something inherent.
