-I know I have an immense impact on children every day. I prepare each day with high expectations that I will make a difference in someone's life. I am a life changer. -I believe in children, their ideas, their concerns, and their dreams. With that in mind I give then opportunities to express their difference and their beliefs in a unique and safe environment. -Each child needs to know that their thoughts and ideas are important. -Part of my success as a teacher is building positive relationships with each child by making them understand that I do care about them as an individual. -I am constantly asking, "What if..." so that we/they can aim and reach their potential, their dream.
