This Instagram Reel captures a touching end-of-year moment at ASTEC Charter Schools. Set to audio that asks, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, the video shows a succession of scholars placing their hands in their teacher’s—each labeled with a future dream and each handoff representing a heartfelt goodbye. Words like “Teacher” and “Art Teacher” appear, reminding us that our educators don’t just teach—they inspire. This reel beautifully illustrates how ASTEC teachers understand their true mission: to open young minds, spark potential, and help scholars envision the future they can create.
