I became an educator not only to teach my students mathematics and how it plays a role in all facets of our lives, but also to help them become productive members of their community. I see myself as a teacher, a role model, and a friend to each of them. Simply being nominated for the Presidential Award was verification that I have been an effective teacher and am having a positive impact in my students’ lives. It is an honor to be considered alongside so many great teachers.
