It started with a letter
It was during the summer of 1993 and in the mail came a letter from Katherine’s soon to be third grade teacher. Unexpected yet excited to have received mail, Katherine read about how delighted her teacher was to be able to teach her in the upcoming school year. This simple gesture let her know that after a previous year of struggle in her academics that there was someone who cared about forming a relationship based on a mutual trust and dedication to her students.
The teaching spark!
Her admiration for her teacher is what sparked her desire to make an impact on other people’s lives and education.[3] “She played school with her dolls all the time and asked for a Xerox machine for Christmas one year. I guess this was her way of showing how much she really loved the work that her teachers imparted on her”, her mother explained when mentioning Katherine’s spark for being an educator.
