Ms. Walker is an exceptional teacher who really cares about her students and not just about their education but helping to prepare them for the real world. Ms. Walker shares life experiences to help the students know her better and to gain their respect in order to help them work through life hardships. She pushes them beyond their comfort zone and allows for mistakes and growth. She leads by example and modeling. Even when her students graduate her job as their teacher is never done because she still served as a mentor to them whenever they need her. She is a change maker.

Ms. Walker pushes herself to be the best version of herself in order to better serve her students. She does not allow them to quit or give up, and she pushes them to be the best version of herself.
