We are here to enjoy all the richness of nature and intelligence, but we have to accept the challenge of leaving a better world for those who are behind us and want to enjoy it, too. That is why I decided to be a teacher.” Gonzalo Restrepo, 1999 ARC Graduate Spanish Teacher “Though I teach math, I consider myself foremost an educator. By that, I mean I teach the students how to approach life, how to prepare for it, and how to live. Hence, while it is important to know your subject matter well, there’s no replacement for a mature teacher experienced in life itself. Your life experiences are a tremendous asset in and out of the classroom.” Jaf Chiang, 1999 ARC Graduate Math Teacher “It’s a wonderful time to be teaching. Young people are very smart and have a lot to share. Their insights may sometimes differ from yours but, having been in their shoes, you can really connect. I enjoy creating an environment in which kids feel comfortable, welcome and accepted. I chose teaching for the best reason -- the chance to work with young people.” Catherine Amadasun, 1996 ARC Graduate Alternative Education Teacher
