Ms. Hunter has been present in my life for as long as I can remember. She has inspired me not only by her teaching but also through her service to people in many Boston and Cambridge communities to stand up and be counted. I’ve learned from her that life is not a spectator sport and that I should always seek opportunities to serve others and in any way I can.

When Caroline mentored me as a member of the school committee in 1998 and 1999 I asked her to run because everything she taught me I wanted to make the full and fabulous impact on our city’s children and families and now it’s happening! 25 year old dreams come true! Let’s celebrate a life of contribution and activism with our number 1 vote. We are number 1 for her. Now she can be number 1 for us!

For kids from certain backgrounds with certain demographics, the odds are often stacked against them having a life that fulfills their highest potential. The difference is often a single amazing educator who sees what no one else sees and will do what no one else does to help ensure that you beat those odds. Caroline Hunter was that educator for me and has been for hundreds of other students not only in a hands-on way but also from the position of policy and community leadership. She *is* the person we want on the school committee. She should be everyone’s number one vote!
