A magnetic force fills my thoughts; a polar opposite field that draws me away from my desired ability to make a difference. My passion has not festered. Rather, I feel trapped within the confines of a rigid system that is not equitable.

The achievement gap continues to divide students, placing them into cookie-cutter classes based on their socioeconomic backgrounds that determine their fates. Education appears to be a dysfunctional system that plays the role of a superior spectacle that spews a false narrative of positive results.

However, although I may feel such disappointment in the system, I continue to strive towards change.

I want to be a part of the solution, rather than spewing disdain.

I am not perfect.

I am an educator, learner, and dreamer.

I am not only hoping and commenting from a distance.

I am working towards making a difference.

Best,
