I rode the yellow “cheese bus” an hour across Brooklyn every morning to get a good education. Today, my students don’t have to.

Even as a 2nd grader, I took great pride in my work. My story won the Ezra Jack Keats award in a writing competition and was published in the local library.

Teaching is more than a job–

it’s who I am. During the summer,

I recharge by volunteering

with kids. My mom fought to ensure I received a great education. She couldn’t have been prouder the day I graduated from college.
