Being an educator is just who I am. It isn't a job it is part of how I define myself as a person.  If we want things to be better we need to do the work.  I also know when school doesn't work and because of those experiences, I think I can continue to create the environment where it will. This way, we can give to our future selves and others. - Jill]]> 2022-08-09 12:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257382729 https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257382847 I've wanted to be an educator since I was in 2nd grade. I continue because creating spaces for all kids to learn improves the future for all. ]]> 2022-08-09 12:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257382847 https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257383076 I wanted to be a teacher because as a quiet kid, the teachers who took the time to get to know me and encouraged me made a big difference. Their kindness made school a lot more fun.

I stayed in education because the work is important and learning is fun.

I never expected to be a teacher, but always found myself in teaching positions. I really love watching them develop from little kiddos into free thinking amazing adults. - Mimi]]> 2022-08-09 12:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257383525 https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257383696 Every person has the power to lift up those around them and empower them to be the best version of themselves.  This world needs everyone to strive to be the best version of themselves. - Jandrea]]> 2022-08-09 12:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257383696 https://padlet.com/greatschools/f5zdh06sk019kd1r/wish/2257383714 I was working as a respiratory therapist in the E.R. and ICU and came to the realization that working around so much loss and difficult situations was bringing me down.  I just gave birth to my son and decided I wanted to work with children and people full of life so I went back to school and from that day forward, I have always loved what I do.
