"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things." Mother Theresa's quote, embodies my belief that all children are entitled to a supportive educational community that incorporates kindness and caring. Despite the chronic struggles my students face with regard to health and their academics, I urge them to be open to learning new things in the hospital.
I am a special educator for NYC DOE's, Hospital Schools on Staten Island, at a Pediatric in-patient facility. This teaching environment is a perfect fit for me. Many of the 1:1 connections with my students have developed into long-lasting bonds. I am continually inspired by the strong will of my students. "The greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to always try just one more time." Albert Einstein
