Walters wrote, “Through the Mebane Early Literacy Program, I transitioned from being a teacher candidate to becoming a leader in literacy, paving the way for a future in education where I will make a meaningful impact. 

“My goal is for my students to leave me equipped to read, comprehend, and effectively communicate through writing — skills that are vital for their future and success in life.

The importance of literacy resonates deeply, particularly when considering broader issues like economic mobility. I want to make sure my students are not just able to read, but they can comprehend what they read, empowering them to articulate their thoughts and ideas through writing and share their voices with the world.”
