2002
Well, here I am, just another brick in the wall (Pink Floyd, 1979). And yes, sometimes I have said, "Teacher, leave those kids alone." But I am and ever shall be an apologist for public education if you will, and a firm believer in its purest intention. I am proud to be a part of a profession that advocates for kids and their families first and foremost, and a free and appropriate education second. The pursuit of knowledge is an admirable one and the expectation that everyone should have an equal opportunity to access it resonates very deeply within me. So for a little while, I got to represent Ohio's collective body of school psychologists. And I will forever count it as a great personal blessing. Thanks for the memories OSPA.
