About Gracie

The Reality of Resilience: You can let them know straight out: "I didn't have an easy road growing up. I experienced the foster care system, and I lost my mother when I was fifteen years old. I know what it feels like to feel anchorless, or like the odds are stacked against you."

The "Why" Behind Your Standards: Connect your past to your high expectations for them. "Because I know what hard times look like, I refuse to let you give up on yourselves. When I push you in this classroom, it's not to be strict—it's because I know your potential, and I know you are capable of overcoming whatever is in front of you."

A Safe Harbor: Make the classroom boundary clear. "My room is a place where you don't have to carry your heavy stuff alone. We respect each other here, we work hard, and we look out for one another."
