"As a newer teacher, I was surprised about the level of camaraderie between teachers. We have become a family. We depend on each other, come together in mutual support, and, yes, gossip up a storm. My building rep was the first person to introduce herself to me after I was hired. She made me feel welcome and wanted. She has helped me to be the teacher and Building Rep that I am today. As teachers, we have the power to change students' lives. As representatives of the teachers' union, we have the power to change even more."
