• One nomination can impact hundreds of lives.
  • When you encourage someone to pursue their calling in education, you’re not just changing their life—you’re shaping the lives of every student they’ll ever teach.
  • And those students?
  • They’ll remember the teacher who saw them, challenged them, inspired them.
  • All because someone like you said,
    “You’ve got what it takes.”

It Starts with One Person. It Reaches Many.

At Gracelyn University, we often ask our students why they want to become teachers.

Their answers aren’t about careers.

They’re about mission:

  • “I want to give kids what I didn’t have.”
  • “I want to be the difference for a struggling student.”
  • “I want to create hope.”

These aren’t just dreams.
These are callings waiting to be unlocked.
Your nomination might be the key.

You Might Be the Only One Who Says It

Many paraprofessionals and support staff never imagine themselves as teachers.
They quietly serve.
They lead from behind the scenes.
They assume no one notices.
But you notice.
And your belief could unlock a destiny they’ve never dared to pursue.
“You’d make a great educator.”
Seven words that can ripple through generations.
