"Be the change you wish to see in the world." --Mahatma Gandhi
This quote sums it up....the reason I love teaching. My job is to inspire. My job is to help students be their personal best. I truly, truly hope they learn a whole heck of a lot about history along the way. Yes. But it's bigger than that for me. It's about learning from the past in order to create a better world in the future.
I finally decided on a path in life after reading Christa McAuliffe's biography. Her words inspired me. "I touch the future. I teach."
Does it get any better than that? Simple. Focused. True.
