“It is my duty to embed in the mind of each student the importance of setting goals and achieving them, because educators are creators and molders of dreams. Just as each teacher in my life helped and are continuing to help mold my most precious desires, I want to be the artist in the life of others. I want to paint a picture of hope, a picture of determination, and then paint the most beautiful picture of all- a student that thought they could and did.“
