I having been working with children for the past 26 years as a teacher, literacy coach and teacher mentor. Teaching is the best job in the world! I have an opportunity every single day to touch the future and inspire! Every child has what it takes to be amazing and my goal, as an educator, is simply to help them reach theirs! Unfortunately, it takes resources to supplement our work as educators and there is not enough funding in our school budgets to really give our children what they deserve. With the help of donors, we are somewhat able to level the playing field. Thanking you all in advance for your consideration! Ms. Winfrey
