Why Teaching? Hear from some of our TREP Scholars....
"My mother was a teacher and growing up I was surrounded by the nobility and love that teachers have for their students. I would like to become a teacher to inspire and help shape someone's future just like my teachers did for me."
"Being a person of color, a minority of my teachers looked like me, and I was never sure if I could become a teacher since I was not the same as them. That hasn’t stopped me from wanting to become an educator. I want to be a role model for everyone but especially for young girls of color that have any doubt that they can become something."
