Molly Etok is one of my students. I have taught a couple of her siblings since arriving in George River 7 years ago this month.
It's incredible to see how my students, their families and the town in general has changed in the last 7 years. I feel pretty much the same, but the school and school board has changed tremendously. Students are given a higher standard of expectation and are really working to the challenge they are facing. They are trying their best to show their capabilities and learn more than those I had in my first few years. I see great things for the future of this town as the people take their own personal development and education more seriously than ever before. They are getting themselves prepared to stand up for themselves, their culture, their communities and also offering their children a quality of life that might not have had themselves. I am so proud to be here, to be a part of the process and to be here as a supporter and encourager to the students I teach.
