KIPP NYC Public Schools teacher Ashley Lamour shares what "Together, A Future Without Limits" means to her.

The on-the-spot coaching was really important for me, and I feel like that's what made be a better teacher.

What keeps me in education is my students. They don’t get to quit, so I’m not going to either. It’s as simple as that for me.

It’s a hard job, but the fire is still there. There’s still joy to be found, there’s still hope to be found, there’s still a lot of love needed.

I’ve learned so much from my students. They are, ultimately, always the best teachers.

I cannot leave the profession because I want to continue to make an impact.
