After 30 years in education, I still believe what Mandela said, that "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."  All students need and deserve advocates who see the best in them and will work on their behalf.  Our work changes the world, and even if it is changing the world for one student, it has been worth it all.

"I believe each and every student has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world.  In showing students how to become responsible for themselves as well as their own learning, so they have the tools to become successful in life. Every student has a different learning style and pace.  Each student is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding."
