"Robert Frost once said, 'I am not an educator, but an awakener.' When I walk into my classroom each morning, it is my goal to awaken something new in my students so that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. Winning [the Milken Award] has awakened something in me that I never knew existed. It has pushed me to continue learning to become an even better awakener for my students. I look forward to continuing to grow and see where and what I'm led to do next."

Lindsay Murray (VA '16)

Quotes

"I push my students hard. I see more potential in them than they see in themselves most of the time. Based on my upbringing at their age, I know that several of my students feel like they won’t amount to much or they can’t make a difference in the world. I’ve shared my story with my kids as a way to show them that they can make a difference if they commit to doing something well: 'If you’re persistent, you’ll get it. If you’re consistent, you’ll keep it.' " — Spotlight: Nick Jacques (NV '19)
