LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Sarah Adkins was nominated anonymously.

Ms. Adkins deeply believes that learning should be fun and engaging. She is highly attuned to her students' energy and recognizes when their attention begins to drift, like when she notices their eyes glazing over during a lesson. In those moments, she intentionally shifts the mood by bringing energy back into the room, getting students moving, and reigniting their excitement for learning. For Ms. Adkins, teaching isn't just about delivering content, but about creating a classroom where students are happy to show up each day and trust that they are in a safe, caring environment. She is committed to making her classroom a place where joy, connection, and curiosity thrive.
