"Every child deserves a champion - an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be."
Rita Pierson
Teachers are often have the power of connection to their students. In a teacher's classroom, they have the power and ability to instruct, inspire, direct, challenge and encourage.
My friend, Mrs. Young was that connection for her students. After a long career of teaching, she continued a difference in her retirement as a tutor with Read to Succeed.
Mrs. Young was a loving mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, teacher and friend.
At her funeral, we celebrated her faith in Jesus. We will miss her presence at the 8:00 a.m. worship service. Praying God will comfort her family.
