#158. Amy Couldn’t Be More Correct!

Amy Poehler affirmed, “Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.” Could any words describe the essence of education better? Every day, teachers challenge and inspire students to learn and develop, to become who and what they will be. Every day, teachers foster a classroom environment – in whatever shape that may take in these trying times – that helps students feed off of each other’s individual and collective energy, successes, progress and growth. Every day, teachers change their students’ lives. And that, my friends, is why you matter so profoundly.
