An Accomplishment I am Proud Of...
is being named Teacher of the Year for Rowan County in 2006. I was serving as an EC (Exceptional
Children’s) teacher and was working hard to make my role impactful. I took the role seriously and wanted to be seen as a valuable team mate in the classrooms I worked in and throughout the entire school setting.
When it was announced I was thrilled and validated. I attended the breakfast alone and really was sad that my family or principal were not there. As an agent of change, I advocated for the families of the finalist to be invited and to my knowledge, they have been since then even tho the announcement procedure has changed.
The year was a challenging one and I leaned a lot about the politics of school systems. It validated that being a TEACHER was the exact thing I should confine doing and I have never looked back.
