In these years, I noticed that a big part of their success was attributed to their teachers&#8217; dedication. I was touched by this and soon realized that I too wanted to be able to motivate young students, and put them on the right path in their education. I believe that teachers should have the courage to make a difference. They have the potential to impact their community and positively influence the lives of their students. As a educator, I aspire to engage and challenge all my students both within and beyond the classroom so that they have the opportunity to grow and mature into leaders of education and reform.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;\">Questions?
