William Cortezia, 31, walked away from a lucrative job in international banking to find fulfillment in education. A member of Miami Teaching Fellows' inaugural class, he teaches special ed at Thomas Jefferson Middle.
While pursuing a master's degree at Central Michigan University, he wanted to apply the academic theories in a practical setting. Public school teaching seemed the right fit, even while friends shook their heads and said, "Are you sure you want to do that?"
He did. "We chose to be teachers," he said of the teaching fellows. "We understand that, and I think that brings a different look. We're mixing the best of both worlds."
As an international banker, Cortezia would move millions of dollars around the world -- but most transactions were reversible if he made a mistake. "If you make a mistake with a child," he said, "there's no do-over." -
