When a group of adults thought they were simply being interviewed about their favorite teachers, they had no idea of the emotional journey that awaited them. We all have that one educator who left a lasting mark on our lives, right? For me, it was a passionate fifth-grade drama instructor named Ms. Carter, who encouraged me to embrace my voice—even if I couldn’t carry a tune. Her belief in me helped me overcome my shyness and gain confidence speaking in public, a skill that has benefited me throughout my life.
