Who inspired me?
It was actually what inspired me. I was a Social Worker in Rochester, NY. I ran a program for developmentally disabled children and adults. I spent much of my time in the schools with the children I worked with. Therefore, I felt that I could make more of a difference in the schools than what I was currently doing at the time. So, I decided to go back to school to a Master’s degree in teaching.
