"I think if you're really committed to the work, you understand you are accountable. Every day you wake up as a teacher you have the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. You have the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. you have to believe that. My greatest challenge is not the children; it is having other adults in the building see what I see in the children. I want people to see beyond what's there and see the potential, because I believe that is what my teachers did for me. They saw what I could be in the future. They poured it into me."
