“Voices that Inspire!”
Voices that Inspire...
The stories we tell — and those we choose to pass along — shape how children understand the world and their place within it.
As a teacher, I built my classroom around real-life experiences.
With a childhood full of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and years working in Food Services and Hotel Management, I had no shortage of wild, humbling, and unforgettable stories. I shared them freely — not just for laughs, but to teach the lessons I’d learned the hard way: how to bounce back, how to read the moment, and how to expect the unexpected.
Storytelling wasn’t a sideline — it was the lesson
In my classroom space, students practiced bravery in decision-making, built confidence in their direction, and explored their futures without fear.
My classroom was a place where realism met encouragement, where students knew they belonged, and where they could imagine their own future taking shape.
Because voices matter — especially the ones that speak truth with love.
Who has inspired you to lead with purpose, curiosity, or kindness?
