At 16, I left home, dropped out of high school and worked at Maccas. I went back and finished my education because I didn’t want to disappoint the teachers who believed in me. Great teachers change lives. They changed mine. #ProudlyPublic #PublicEducation
“Books were an escape, & my English teacher suggested I start writing for the school newspaper. Nothing matches the excitement of seeing your name in print for the 1st time.” Did a teacher change your life? @Juanita_Phillip #ProudlyPublic #PublicEducation

Beautiful words from @hollyringland around her wise best friend’s story writing advice: have you cooked the day dream enough to actually show up & write it? #nwf18

‘I was envious of my sister who was a musician, I would watch her and wish I could be on stage but I didn’t have any skills. What could I do? And stand up is one of the few things you can do with no skills and no experience.’ Kitty Flanagan #nwf18
