LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Joel Wagner-Wright was nominated by two anonymous students.

"Mr. Wagner-Wright has changed my life signifcantly since I met him almost a year ago," said one of his students. "I had him for half of last year, and I'm having him for half of this year. When I first had him as a teacher, I could tell he genuinely cared for his students. He would check up on me when something seemed off and gave extensions when it seemed necessary. His cheerful attitude is admirable, even when he's receiving complaints...His kindness creates an enjoyable learning atmosphere, and I feel like I can rely on him with problems I am having."

"Mr. Wagner has been such a LifeChanger because of the amount of wisdom he has," said another student. "He is very eye-opening when it comes to real world situations. Understanding how humans are in situations and knowing why we do what we do is very interesting to take in. Mr. Wagner is also very understanding. He likes to work around his students to help simplify the work we receive in our other classes."
