"Your teachers didn’t just appear in front of you in a classroom. They’ve been preparing their whole lives to teach you. Honor that. Respect them. Respect their passion."
Columbia City Mayor Steve Benjamin.
On the day of his State of the City Address, Mayor Steve Benjamin took two hours to come and speak to our children at length about finding their passion and using it as a tool to change the world. He echoed every facet of my own teaching philosophy and reawakened my own desire to be here and do this job. He reminded me that it matters. I’d vote for him all over again, if they’d let me.
