How is your Hero working to make the world a better place?
She is making this world a better place by improving students reading far beyond this capabilities and she making them want to do it. A teacher like this deserves to win this award because I'm truly blessed to had her as a teacher when I went to school and the students who had teachers like this should also take it on because if you pass it up you would never get this chance again. I'm glad that I took the chance to have a teacher because if I didn't I don't know where I would be now.
How has your Hero impacted your life and inspired you?
My hero has impacted my life in reading in so many way and I can never find a way to thank her for it. I would never have thought that I would get a job like this and it's her that helped me pushed myself to become a better reader. Thanks for being a great teacher to me.
