What is the best advice you’ve ever received? One day I was having a conversation with my high school piano teacher, Mrs. Badger, when I asked her “How are you always happy and excited to talk to your students every day?” She said, “The most important thing is to treat each student like they are the most important person in the world. When I talk to them, they are the only thing that matters in that moment”. Ever since then, I’ve tried to be the person that makes others feel accepted, valued, and heard.
