Brooke Phillips thought she understood what children needed after cancer, until she watched future colleague and friend, Caroline, work in her classroom. What she witnessed changed everything. As a teacher, she saw firsthand how a dedicated advocate transformed not just one student's academic performance, but his entire sense of self. Now working as an advocate herself, Brooke shares what it's like to stand on both sides of that relationship, the humbling lessons she's learned from the families she serves, and why the best support often looks nothing like what you'd expect.
