Teacher Truth: Kia Walton

"I think a true thing that sits with me as a teacher is that I'm giving it my absolute all, and that's still not good enough. And not that I'm not good enough, but that they deserve better and better and better and better. I'm learning that if I am whole and I am well, I will bring my best self every day, and I can improve my best much more quickly and with much more heart in it." - Kia Walton
