Empathy is also critical to connect with and support students as it is the characteristic that allows for kindness and compassion through any hardships that may be faced and sets an example for other students to be empathetic toward others as well. From the onset of his career as a musician, Ryan’s dream career has been a high school band director. He sees every position that he is in as a stepping stone to achieving that goal and understands the importance in experiencing multiple different jobs, rather than a single dream of the future.
