Compass PD Podcast Episode 49: What Education Means to Me by Dr. Carrie Hepburn
Description
Embark on a heartfelt odyssey with me, Dr. Carrie Hepburn, as we unravel the life-changing magic of education. Witness the tale of determination and courage through my eyes as my mother, against an era less kind, grasped her independence through learning, earning her GED with an unyielding spirit. This isn't just a narrative of my family; it's a tribute to the valiant women of her time, who, with education as their sword, carved out choices and self-reliance from a world that offered them little. My fervor for education is deeply rooted in these experiences, igniting a passion that has fueled my journey in this field.
As we turn the pages of this story, we extend our deepest thanks to the educators—those pillars of our communities who, day in and day out, shape the destinies of countless students. By threading in the perspectives of these unsung heroes, we paint a vivid picture of their indelible impact. I invite you to join our Compass PD community by sharing your stories that echo education's transformative power. Let's celebrate the legacy of learning and the dedicated individuals who commit their lives to spreading its invaluable light.
