Receiving this award is a true honor. It confirms that a little girl’s dream to be a great math teacher is a big dream that can be realized. I am excited to have the opportunity to meet and share ideas with so many talented teachers. I am also grateful to all of the people who have been my mentors and friends as I have traveled through the years, growing and reflecting as a teacher. Most of all, I am thankful for my students, who surprise and amaze me every day.
