I have known Annia Dear since 2013 when we both worked at Universal American School Dubai. My mother used to tell me that you can always tell if a person is a good egg. Annia a good egg. Professionally, Annia has always been a role model to me. After many years of being the head of primary, she returned to the classroom, because she began to feel out of touch of the needs of learners. She also wanted to remember what it was like to be a teacher again, so she could empathize with her team. This experience stayed with me as a teacher, coordinator, and independent consultant. Years later, I have done the same thing after many years outside the classroom. I returned this year as a third-grade teacher, because I was feeling disconnected to the teacher experience. It was the best decision for me and I'll never forget how Annia influenced my decision so many years ago. Annia is currently the Deputy Head of Academy at Aga Khan Academy, Maputo. I can't wait to visit her campus this year and reconnect from a fresh perspective.
