    “The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you onto the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.” – Dan Rather
    “Often it is in the moments after you are challenged, pushed, and encouraged to move on, that you see the most growth and gain the most confidence.  I love seeing a smile from a student after they experience success.”
