Two inspiring quotes from Angela:
“My mother always told me to find something I loved doing and if I could get paid to do this, all the better. This is how I feel about teaching.”
“Moving forward, I think if we as an organization continue to remember the heart of our mission, we will continue our success. In the age of standardization, we personalize. This is our heart.”Â
