"Teaching has always been about making connections with students, whether at the elementary or high school level. You are never too young or too old to feel as though you mean something to someone. I want to be that person for my students, the person that makes sure they know their worth. I want to be a teacher who students know cares for them and is invested in their success, not just in my classroom, but in life." — Spotlight: Jennifer Paolantonio (RI '19)
