"I believe our future is determined by our youth. Educators are given a huge responsibility of molding our youth to fit the expectations of our society, and are often times given standardized methods to achieve these unrealistic goals. Our children are not standardized. They are unique and should be treated as such."

"Our educators deserve our support. This support should not only come from the school board that governs their practices, but also from the community and individual family units. I hope to help change the current culture of entitlement and negativity to one that embraces our students' individualism and cultural differences, presents education as a positive endeavor and, most of all, empowers our educators."
