In this episode, you will meet Tony, a middle school Mandarin teacher who once believed the most important thing he wanted to achieve in life was to pursue the “American dream” of success by going into business and eventually becoming a millionaire. He did pursue this dream, and was indeed successful. However, he felt unfulfilled and like he needed and wanted to do more. He discovered that money was not a true reward in life, but rather, that the greatest payback and reward that we can get is to make a difference in the life of a child and leave behind a legacy that will live on long after we are gone. Tony explores some deep philosophical questions for teachers…what is our why? and how do we honor those who have come before us and those who will come after us? and what is the true impact of a teacher?
