Every youth success LOOKS and FEELS different than the next. It has to .. because THEY TOO are different! It’s too cliche and incorrect to only seek out the successes from those who struggle the most. It is the success of each as individuals AND AS A TEAM!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Having 14 of 16 get perfect scores on the Cambridge English test in my FIRST YEAR while in São Paulo. That was NEVER about me, by the way. The two kids that missed perfect scores were not off by more than 2-3 questions either. I was SO INCREDIBLY PROUD of them and their efforts!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Not with ALL of it, but I would throw a LARGE BBQ for my students who are actually my OFFENSIVE LINE!! Their success IS my success! Their quarterback is only good because they make me look good! They work hard & succeed against greater challenges! So let’s celebrate together!
