Why I Became a Teacher

Lacy Rivera (NM '19)

"I have always wanted to make a difference in society. I started teaching as a stepping stone into educational law and policy. I knew that great change could happen on a large scale with the right laws, policies and practices, and I also knew that in order to advocate for change, I needed to have the experience of teaching.

"Little did I know that I would fall in love with the classroom. I have learned as much from my students as they have from me, and I have grown as a school leader over the years. In fact, I view critically conscious and caring classrooms as the most powerful spaces for change. Educators can be agents of change that multiplies across communities and grows over the years."
