Details

 Kara teaches high school, cares for her sister with special needs, and took care of her mother with Parkinson’s disease.  

 

“Women like her are the steel backbone of our country.” – Mary Kate Sullivan, nominator

 

Name: Kara Sullivan

Age: 51

Birthplace: Waterbury, CT

What woman in your life has been the greatest source of inspiration to you? My mother, Maita. She raised my 5 siblings and me by herself. She has always been a model for me.

What does it mean to be extraordinary? Wow! Big question. But really, who is extraordinary. I think we impose our own judgment on who is ”extra” or “better” when really we are all doing extraordinary work. I think that so many women I know work incredibly hard, and that, to me, is extraordinary.

How do you hope to inspire the next generation of women? I view my role as a teacher, mother and community member as a model. I try to model and inspire kindness every day. I hope to inspire others to view the importance of interpersonal relationships and respect for others.

What motivates you to do  your extraordinary work? I love my students! They feed my curiosity, intellectualism and desire to laugh every day. I love hearing from them after they graduate. I am continually inspired by them.
