I came from a lower middle class background and was fortunate to have someone see the potential that I had to offer. His foundation supported me with a scholarship when I went to college.

I want to believe that those same opportunities are available for hard working students so that they receive the support and nurturing that I received about three decades ago.

A salute to all of the educators out there.
