I want to become a "Champion Teacher" so that I can help my students to achieve their fullest academic potential in a way that I can use my abilities and strengthen my insecurities, all while helping my students to overcome and strengthen their weaknesses at the same time. – Candace B., Summer 2020
I want to become a champion teacher because there are a lot students who feel discouraged about themselves and as a teacher I want to help lift each student up in becoming successful in their education. – David S., Fall 2018
I would love to become a champion teacher to help mold our future. I have experienced, with my own son, the lack of motivation with schooling. He hates school and I think it is because of his early experiences of being labeled and singled out. That breaks my heart, I want to be the one driving force that motivates my students to come to school. – Dorothy L., Summer 2019
I want to become a teacher because I want to be a part of the betterment of the future. Children come from different backgrounds and all deserve the same opportunities. I want my students to grow and to be able to share this drive with others creating a chain of positivity and personal worth. – Steven K., Summer 2018
