THE POWER OF ONE!!


Like the author of this article, I started out (in high school) not speaking English. Over the years, I've had many great teachers, but it often came down to the ONE who saw what no one else saw in me and believed that I could accomplish more than was expected of me. Each ONE nurtured and encouraged me, showing me ...that I could reach my goals and dream much bigger. Each degree, each triumph is due to ONE teacher who, by words or actions, said "Go for it!".
