Social Studies teacher Aristea Kakounis. “I think the day I felt the most successful was the day that I graduated college, not because I finished, because that was the saddest day of my life since I loved college, but because I was the first person in my family to graduate from college. On graduation day I had eye contact with my mom, and when they told us to move our tassels, I looked at my mom and I said, ‘This is for you,’ and I felt successful because not only did I do something for myself, but I did something for my family that made them proud.”
