008: Education can Lift Mountains, Part 2 with Mr. Wilmer Chavarria
This is the second part of a two-part episode in which we will learn about how Wilmer became a teacher. If you have not listened to the first part, please do so, it will help you understand where his passion for education comes from. In this second part we will learn about how his hard work and multicultural experience led him to be one of the 2 top-rated teachers in the state of New Mexico, and about the things that motivated him to become a school principal. More importantly, Wilmer encourages us to advocate for our children's education, and to hold teachers and administrators accountable to deliver it; however, don't forget to be kind… to yourself and others, because we are all in this together.Some of the opportunities mentioned in this episode:Thomas J.
