00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:18.139
I'm Eddie Dauernheim and I'm a support&nbsp;teacher for second grade and fourth grade and then wherever they put me.

00:00:18.139 --> 00:00:22.720
Mr D definitely deserves&nbsp;to be Educator of the Year. 
He works so hard and

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.320
he just really does more than what's expected to&nbsp;
make sure that Barton Creek is a special place.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.040
He juggles so many things and doesn't blink&nbsp;
an eye. He does it with a positive attitude,&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:39.040
a sense of humor. He loves what he does and&nbsp;
it just shines through him every single day.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:46.400
He just brings me joy on a daily basis. He&nbsp;
just cares so much and he's just so loving.&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.800
We had kind of a crazy beginning of the year.&nbsp;
There were lots of new things thrown at us&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:55.600
and Eddie just really threw himself into&nbsp;
helping students and that ended up making&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:01.360
a huge impact on specific students lives that&nbsp;
now you can see like they're totally different&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:05.601
people because of the impact that he had on them&nbsp;
which is really great.

00:01:05.601 --> 00:01:07.520
When I first got here

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:18.480
I was frustrated about everything and Mr D asked&nbsp;
me about what happened to you and and how can&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.800
I help you to make you feel better.

00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:23.120
It's like&nbsp; I think about a lot of the students I work with

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.720
and the challenges they have to be able to help&nbsp;
them learn how to overcome those challenges and&nbsp;&nbsp;

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:32.724
have a positive impact on the rest of their&nbsp;
life is really meaningful to me.

00:01:32.724 --> 00:01:40.640
If you like just met him I feel like that's what you should&nbsp;know about him that he's really nice and he just

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:45.134
has open arms to everybody.

00:01:45.134 --> 00:01:51.361
He is a gem&nbsp;and the world is a better place because of him.

00:01:51.361 --> 00:01:55.609
Eanes ISD is a better place because&nbsp;of him and Barton Creek is so lucky!

00:01:55.609 --> 00:02:03.471
