“The pandemic caused me to do a lot of self-reflection. I saw how the difference in school leadership affected how the schools cared for children during the pandemic. I knew I could no longer be one of those teachers doing my thing in the classroom and complaining about the decisions being made. I needed to be part of the solution.”
