What inspires you from WFSU public media? Here's this week's Voices That Inspire. My name is Mia Hines and I am a mother of two boys, eight year old and a two year old. I'm also a wife and I'm a passionate educator. So when I was actually working in K through 12, one of my roles was to advocate for parents and to get them more involved in their child's education by kind of talking them through maybe meetings, maybe different policies or procedures they might not have understood otherwise. So I always knew as a parent, I would be heavily involved. And so coming around to this time, it is challenging to be not the sole teacher, but pretty much the one leading the classroom on a daily basis, but because I've been involved, Mia Mahazam both have been involved in my child's education since he was before school age, we are kind of familiar with a flow and how things go. I think that I will take away to be prepared really for virtual learning, for even in my own professional career. So there's a lot of things that I've had to do now virtually just through work, which is going to now enhance in my opinion, my profession in the way that I work with my students, but also with the way that I work with my sons. I think that we'll just take away that at any moment, we could be doing this again. So I will take that into consideration and just kind of be as prepared as possible. At the end of the day, I think we all have one thing in common and that's we want to stay safe and we want our children to stay healthy. So if we have to continue to do this, we will, we'll put our capes on and we'll continue to strive. My name is Mia Hines and I am a mother of an eight year old son and a two year old son and I am a wife and a passionate educator. You're listening to voices that inspire.
