I include students in my research because what I want to teach does not exist in a book or a lecture. I include students in my research because it is the only way to show and share my wonder and my passion. I include students in my research because they cannot appreciate learning until they have actually experienced the adrenaline associated with discovery. I include students in my research because I need someone young, bold,and energetic with me to share the journey, the challenges, and the destination.
