Heroes:
Teachers. Everyday they are overcoming obstacles and providing opportunities for children to succeed. Teachers walk through their door everyday knowing the challenges that lie ahead, but find a way to help a child learn.
Best advice received:
“If you want to be great, surround yourself with great people.” KSU Football coach- Bill Snyder.
If you had 10 minutes to talk to anyone , who would it be?
Mother Teresa. She had the faith and courage to fight battles everyday, even though the next day would bring another challenge. I would ask her how did she stay motivated? She early in her life was an educator, believing education was a way out of poverty. Her goal was to help the uncared for, unwanted, and unloved.
