Growing up in Durham, Justin Foster figured out pretty fast the meaning of a career in education. He’s the kid of a teacher.
“Growing up as a kid of a teacher was hard but so meaningful in my development. It also showed me discipline and respect for others”
Justin is one of the several William Peace students working at Hope Charter Leadership Academy this year. Hope is a low socioeconomic, K-5 elementary school concentrating on the 8 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. Fostering a family atmosphere is as important to the staff and faculty of Hope as their student’s education. Justin helps build that atmosphere as a small group leader, and homework buddy in 1st and 4th grade classrooms.
“Working at Hope is fun. I enjoy every minute of it. There is near a dull moment. Getting to see the smiles on the kid’s faces makes it worth. I honestly wouldn’t trade it for anything else.”
Justin loves the fact that the staff lets him come work at Hope, and enjoy his time there.
