My Project
What I love most about my students is their resilience, compassion, and willingness to grow—not just academically, but as thoughtful, empathetic individuals. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives that enrich every classroom conversation.
This horseshoe-shaped table will transform how we engage with one another.
Its design encourages eye contact, active listening, and inclusive dialogue—essential skills in both academic problem-solving and real-world collaboration. It will support group work, restorative circles, and peer learning, creating a mindful space where every student feels seen, heard, and empowered to lead and learn.
