JENNIFER COLE IS THE INSTRUCTOR IN THE 742 STUDIO FASHION CLASS AT GRAMERCY ARTS HIGH SCHOOL. SHE IS MY HERO BECAUSE SHE ENCOURAGES HER STUDENTS TO DREAM BIG WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PREPARING THEM FOR THE LEVEL OF EXPECTATIONS IN THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. BECAUSE OF HER SUPPORT IN EDUCATING THE STUDENTS IN SUCH A MANNER, EACH OF HER STUDENTS FEELS THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE WORLD OF ART AND COMMERCE. THE COMBINATION OF HER STYLE OF TEACHING AND ENCOURAGING, COUPLED WITH THE STUDENTS’ INDIVIDUAL DREAMS, MAKE THEM FEEL THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL AND TRULY MAKE THEIR MARK. THANK YOU ALSO TO DENISE DICARLO, THE PRINCIPAL AND A FORWARD-THINKING LEADER IN EDUCATION, FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE.
