Teach for America Las Vegas

“My vision and commitment dictate my ways of being and actions”
This LP principle has lived vividly for me in the 2 years since I was in the WorldLegacy leadership program. The trainings, workshops and especially LP have taught me that with unwavering belief and hardcore action, what I say GOES. I am a 2006 corps member of national service program Teach for America, which is a highly selective, rigorous organization dedicated to eradicating educational inequalities in our country.

My application essays were about my LP rewards and challenges…in my interview I spoke about successfully leading a team of people, living my word and taking a stand for my vision. I know the confidence, power, grace and courageousness I exuded every moment demonstrated that I was a world-changing difference maker. I learned in LP that “100% is possible 100% of the time”, so I chose to move across the country with this program and leave everything I knew behind to blaze new trails! Life after LP has been amazing because there is no “after LP.” I’ve learned that I can always create a team of people to support and motivate me. I can always stretch myself and play enrollment games. I can prove I’m an outrageous leader standing for love, abundance and empowerment every day. Because of WorldLegacy Leadership, when one of my students tells me I am the smartest, prettiest, craziest teacher they’ve ever had, I can say “Thank you, I know.”
