On this episode, I introduce you to Dion an educator holding the role of paraprofessional for the last 4 years in elementary. Dion takes us on a journey highlighting the importance of being there for students and how that makes a difference for students. Additionally, Dion lets us in on his hair journey where we crack a laugh about waves and curls and how that connects with his son that he loves so dearly and reminds us all that being present and trying is all worth it.
