"I would say that my proudest accomplishments are the success of my students. Especially those who first entered my class with perceivable difficulties, where I was able to make an impact and turn things around for them and spark that passion. There's nothing like that surprise visit a couple of years after one of your students has graduated, where they come back with gratitude and tell you what a difference you made in their life. Each of those moments is my proudest accomplishment, as humbling as those may be."
