Bernard Shaw stated “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself”. As I read this quote, I thought about how it not only applies at a personal level, but at a professional level as well. I believe these words can be interpreted as a challenge to us to stop looking for someone or something that will fix what might not be so perfect in education. Instead, each of us must be challenged to be the agent of change, the one who does what is right for students, and the one who speaks louder than the voices whose only experience in education comes from sitting in a desk during their years as a student.
