LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

AJ Nipper was nominated by one of his students.

"Mr. Nipper has helped me get through these last two years of my high school career. Last year, he was my chemistry teacher during first period. Seeing him every morning and hearing him say he believes in us really helped me throughout the day. Now, I have him seventh period, the last period of the day. I wait all day to go see my favorite teacher, which is what keeps me here at school most days.  He makes me want to be here. He set my foundation in chemistry, which is currently getting me through my AP biology class. Mr. Nipper made me believe in myself more than I ever have and showed me I really can do anything I want to. He's pushing me in the direction to become a doctor, which is what I have always wanted to be. Mr. Nipper truly is a LIfeChanger," said his student.
