In J.K. Rowling's "Chamber of Secrets," Dumbledore advised Harry that, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." I have this quote displayed in my classroom as a reminder that kindness, hard work, and persistence are all choices that shape who my students are as learners and individuals. I work at a gifted and talented school in East Harlem where my students are incredibly bright and motivated, and I believe it is my role as a teacher to guide them towards making choices in life that will foster a positive learning and social environment for all.
