I was so excited to find out I had passed and became a National Board Certified Teacher in November. I celebrated with my family and then moved on with the school year. Then I recieved an invitation to be recognized by the AZK12 organization.

I was super excited to be able to go and be recognized for all of the hard work and effort I had put in to accomplish this HUGE task.

I am so glad mom was able to come and watch me walk across the stage. She was my rock through this process. She drove all over the state, proofread my papers, and ripped the box out of my hands to mail it off for me.

It was nice that Marsha, Jan, and Erin were there too!
