DELAWARE FIRST: SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF EDUCATORS
UD alumni Terri and Bob Smith created a giving challenge to inspire support for the Teachers of Tomorrow program.
MAKING AN IMPACT
"My parents came to the United States for a higher standard of living and to have better job opportunities. This was no easy task, and they inspired me to work harder and become the first in my family to attend college. Through the Teachers of Tomorrow Program, I had life-changing experiences. I faced a lot of barriers including losing family members and learning to navigate studying on top of that. Having like-minded people helped me bounce back, and without the support, I feel like I would've given up. The Teachers of Tomorrow Program also taught me to advocate for myself and first-generation college students. Now, I look forward to being an educator so I can positively impact the lives of children, just as my teachers impacted me."
