Will you make the CHOICE to commit to all stu dents, have high energy (even on the days you are exhausted), be optimistic and in tensive in your work, confident in your students, and enthusiastic about teaching? You are the key to their success. Write a new, refreshed mission statement for yourself to confirm your rededication to education, your students, and yourself as a professional.
