2018 Mississippi Teacher of the Year Luke Daniels talks about how both of his parents were teachers, which left him convinced he would choose a markedly different career path. In his senior year of college, however, his father died, and Daniels recalls realizing that becoming an accountant was not right for him, and that it would not provide the fulfillment he sought. After what he describes as a “catastrophic” time, his pursuit of a career in education was certain.
