MY FAVORITE TEACHER, Ms. Mauro…
When I entered high school in 10th grade, I was branded a troublemaker by most of my teachers. Up to that point, I had barely skated by in my classes, skipping an average of 20 days of school a year. Then, I received the dreaded F in social studies and had to go to summer school. My social studies teacher that summer was Ms. Mauro. She made social studies fun, interesting, and engaging. More than that, she saw untapped potential in me that few teachers had seen up to that point. Ms. Mauro changed the trajectory of my life by showing me what was possible if I just applied myself. She cared enough to invest precious time and attention to inspire hope and awaken the greatness in me. She made more of a difference in my life than she probably knows. During the past 35 years, the purpose of my company has been to Inspire Hope and Awaken Greatness in those I serve.
