The Professor/Teacher Who Believed In Me
from Mandy on the Mountain · host Amanda H Shook, M.Ed.
In this episode I share the story of the professor who changed the direction of my life — Dr. Patrick Kariuki. From saying “minnors” in biology class to feeling too poor, too country, and too anxious to belong in college, I talk about how his belief in me helped shape my confidence, my calling, and the way I teach today. I share the lessons he taught about excellence, dignity, psychology, faith, and “dressing for success,” and how his words have come full circle in my life over a decade later. This episode is for anyone who ever doubted themselves, anyone who learns differently, and anyone who needed one person to believe in them.
