Jacqueline is the ideal teacher anyone would want for their child. She is caring, respectful and aware of the sensitivities of being a teenager in America day to day. On this day she is just weeks away from receiving her doctoral degree in education. She shares her story of loving being a teacher and also not being supported by her principal to get this degree, however she was always supported by her mother Their relationship was as solid as a mother/ daughter episode could be. Her mom drops her the wisdom she needs to push forward and the strength to remember who she is and what she's capable of. Jacqueline was picked on as a kid and often felt lonely, like an outsider tends to feel. But she found her teaching love in poetry. She'd stand in front of her students and speak about how wonderful the connection between the words and the painting of pictures can be.

She had found her place, her purpose. This is a warming story of growth and what it means to find your passion and having the courage to follow it in the midst of challenges.
