My biggest education success story this year comes from being a mobilized reservist. I am currently mobilized to Fort Benning, GA, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I knew when I left that I would be missing a lot. But, due to technology I am still able to connect with my students. I recently taped and uploaded my speech for our eighth grade graduation. What this showed my students, their parents, and the public is how committed educators truly are. Even when we are not at school we still think about our students and their success. Something as serious as a mobilization in the defense of this country cannot stop us from being in the classroom or a part of our students’ lives. My students have seen a level of dedication that goes way beyond the classroom. I know that they will carry this lesson with them as they go on to become the future leaders of America.
