  McMahon has positively influenced the children she has taught, including a little girl named Kenya, who entered kindergarten with limited reading and math skills.
  
  "I worked with her mother to get Kenya the extra support she needed for speech and language development. I continued to work with Kenya, her mother and her grandmother, even after Kenya moved to first grade, tutoring her in reading and math after school and during the summer," McMahon said.
  
  "One day, Kenya's mother stopped by to let me know that she would be heading back to jail for as long as three years," McMahon continued. "She then asked me to watch over her girls and to, please, keep working with them. Our connection continued to grow, and to this day, Kenya still visits me."
  
  McMahon said relationships such as the one she has built with Kenya's family are important in helping students achieve.
  
  Kenya agreed.
  
  "I will always remember the way she helped me with my education and life," Kenya said of McMahon.
