Description
Ben's story resonates with anyone who's found their calling through a powerful classroom experience. "I wanted to do something I love," he explains, describing how his history teacher inspired him to create that same eagerness to learn in future students. After an extensive job search and a year of substitute teaching, Ben finally landed at South Lincoln School where he now teaches 6th and 7th grade social studies while coaching football in a close-knit community of about 300 middle school students.
