"I hope that you guys consider being a teacher one day. Because being able to stand in a classroom and get to know kids, and get to hear their stories, and get to see how they grow and what wonderful people they become, that's what this job is all about. I just can't believe that I get to do this every day." — Michelle Wolfe's remarks to students at her surprise Milken Educator Award notification, East Hardy High School, Baker, West Virginia

"Receiving the Milken Educator Award reaffirmed my values as a teacher and leader. It has pushed me to be bolder and to advocate not only for my students, but for my fellow teachers and myself. It gave me the opportunity not only to dream, but to plan for my future in education. Many things have changed, but my core values have not. They are stronger! More now than ever, I believe in high expectations, being courageous, demanding equity and the power of collaboration."
