Midland ISD teacher looks to inspire students by competing at Boston Marathon
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – Midland ISD PE teacher Sarah Teruel is less than two weeks away from competing in the Boston Marathon. Teruel tells us that she's been running her entire life; from her days on the cross-country team at Midland Classical to now competing at various races, running is one of her passions.
However, aside from competing for herself in Boston, she wants her students to understand that having a dream and being able to pursue it is the key message here.
'And that's what I really try to encourage my kids in,' says Teruel. 'I try to help them, like, dream big because a lot of, you know, a lot of adults, we stop dreaming. And I really think it's so important for everyone.'
Teruel along with 10 other Midlanders will take off for Boston within the next week to race on April 20th.
