Basically, I am entirely driven by my family. I have two young sons – a two year old and a nine month old between my wife and me. She is also a teacher, and our children drive us to do what we do. I think I’ve become a better teacher since having kids because I try to put every student first because they are somebody else’s world. I think, “How would I want my kids to be treated by the leaders and teachers who are supposed to model things for them?” So my goal is to get my students to be the students that I want my kids to be. At the same time, it drives me to be a better parent because I hope that my kids are like my students. It’s a whole circle-of-life, Lion King kind of thing.
