- [Announcer] Join us in celebrating innovators in education with this Golden Apple Moment.

- I would like my students to have somebody to tell them that they have assets, that they have their voice, and they have power to to change the world, because I was able to do it.

I didn't even have resources, but I was able to navigate the world and equip myself with tools that I needed in order for me to try.

So to me, it's like when you're educated, you can help other people.

And I think it comes from recognizing what we have, and then helping others.

That's why, when I see my students in class, I say, "Hey, there is a reason why you're here.

You're gonna be a future leader.

And I'm here to support you.

I won't let you fail.

So whatever you need, you let me know".

Education is the key to whatever you wanna do in life.

That's power that you can carry wherever you go.

Nobody can take that away from you.
