The most important quality a teacher applying to Franklin Academy should have is… A sense of humor
If I could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive), I would choose… Eleanor Roosevelt—another hero of mine. She challenged feminine stereotypes and wasn’t afraid to share her strong opinions with her husband to try to influence policy decisions.
If I could shadow a Franklin alum for the day, what would I hope to learn? I would like to know what was the most valuable tool they were given at Franklin in their transition to the working/adult world.
