What do you want to be when you grow up?

“I want to be a teacher because I like helping students learn and grow.” – Sophie Wardell, 10, of Helena.

Wardell says her teacher, Ms. Atkinson, helped her to learn and grow by teaching her to never give up.

“I do ballet and sometimes I just want to quit it, but it helps me to know that I don’t need to quit it and that I can just keep moving on until I can be a professional,” she said.
