Q & A with Megan Fuciarelli

If you weren't in education, what do you think you'd be doing and why?

I would still be a strong advocate in the areas of social justice. I can see myself being a civil rights attorney. I have actually thought about going back for my law degree. Either way, I will be going back to school in the fall of 2017 – either for my PhD or my law degree. Stay tuned!

Do you have a motto you live by?

No one has the right to waste a day in the life of a child. I have used this phrase since I was a new teacher and have included it in all my work since then. We have the obligation to give our very best to our students. We don’t have the right to 'take a day off' when working with our youth. A day wasted is a day further away from success.

If you never had to worry about making money, what would you do?

Honestly, getting into education, we can't truly worry about money too much. I am doing what I love doing – especially since moving into the consulting world full-time. I want to impact as many educators as possible so that we can provide a more equitable environment for our children. I would love to travel around the world learning from other educational systems in order to ultimately improve our own system here in the US.

What's the best piece of advice someone ever gave you?

From Dr. Seuss: Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. I follow my heart, albeit not always popular. When working in areas of civil rights and social justice, you can easily make enemies. But, our work matters and makes a difference. I have learned to stand strong in my convictions.
