Andy Sigears hasn't added a story.
I did not have the best examples or opportunities growing up. I was adopted by some very under-educated people but was later exposed to some tremendous educators that helped transform my life and guide me – the power of a teacher exemplified and magnified.
I was able to finish high school and under the direction of a teacher joined the Army. Later, I attended undergraduate and graduate school, again with the help of some amazing educators.
Today, I have the wonderful opportunity to work with young people. I am an upper level teacher and administrator, all because I was exposed to educators that cared and I was given access to education. I am truly blessed today and hope that I can bless others.
I have a dear friend's daughter who has worked in Uganda as a teacher for the last five years and has also blessed many young minds and forged new directions. She is starting her own school that needs our help. She wants to provide the same quality education that I received and teach to others what I learned but in a country where education is not always as valued.
If you are a person who has benefited from an education, a person I went to school with, a former or current colleague, a student I taught and/or touched - please consider donating. I am committed to this with my heart and money and also asking for your help – any donation means a world to a student.
