Education Minor
"I love the idea of teaching because so many times we educate the mind at the expense of the heart and the hands. To teach to the children of the future, we must educate them holistically, making sure we teach them what it means to be a servant leader and how to give their gifts of education back to the community."

Education Minor
"I want to be a teacher because all it takes is one moment to change a student's mind, perspective, and life. I want to be a positive influence in that moment. In that moment, all the hard work and rough days are worth it."
