THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO
Thanks
Having known Shareefah over twenty-five years, it does not surprise me she is nominated for this award. She has always been a leader who exudes positivity in every situation. She is very relatable and rises to any and every occasion. Although Shareefah has not taught my kids in school, with the passion she has for both kids and teaching she always makes time for impromptu knowledge sharing with them and my kids adore her! She is definitely deserving of this award.
I have known Shareefah since high school. She was then and is now a leader in every thing she does. While, I wish she was putting her skills to work with the kids of New Orleans, I am so glad that she is making a difference in Dallas. The kids and the school are better because she is there. She is a change maker. But most importantly her teaching is transformative. She is beyond deserving of this recognition.
Shareefah congratulations on your nomination. As the founder and President of the Robert Pack foundation I work with at risk under privilege kids who are lacking the kind positive reinforcement and mentorship that you're providing for your students. Your energy, passion and sincere concern your students success should never be underestimated! You're very deserving of this awards and I'm so very proud of you cousin!
Congratulations on your nomination. You’re already a winner in my eyes. I love your hard work and dedication to your career and your students. ??

She helped shape who I am today! Mrs. Shareefah Mason is a teacher who has dedicated countless hours to the success of all of her students. She has made it a priority that her students grow academically and personally. For example, she never missed a day to my middle school class to let her "see those beautiful faces" and validated me by telling me "you will do great things one day Ms. Ponciano." For seeing me as a students and a person-in-the-making, I am thankful for teachers like Ms. Mason. I have now graduated college and began my graduate studies in psychology. Up until this day I remember the school days in Ms. Mason's classroom where I learned a lot about Texas history and at the same time, grew into a confident and outspoken student. Thank you Ms. Mason for the hard work you do and best of luck!

Mrs. Mason is a game changer! Everything she does is with passion and zeal. In the past when Mrs. Mason was faced with challenges, she turned those challenges into learning opportunities. Those opportunities would then turn into professional developments so that her fellow educators would not have to reinvent the challenge wheel. She has an ability to connect with the "whole" child.

I’ve been knowing Shareefah since middle school. She was a great teacher and also a great friend. She was a second mom to me and believed in me the second that I stepped in her classroom. She is a positive person and she tries to rub her positive to all her students. There’s no one better than her who deserves this. There’s no other teacher that takes her time to make sure her students are okay or if they need help with homework. She was always there to explain and make everything work for us. I couldn’t have ask for a better teacher. Thank you for all that you did for me and continue to do for others. You are a gift from god and i appreciate everything that you did and do.

Ms.Mason is a very helpful person.She makes sure you learn everything you need to be successful and also helps you with your personal life. She genuinely loves and care about all her students. We all love you <3
I cannot think of a person, a mentor, a coach, or teacher who deserves this award more than Mrs Mason. We must celebrate the teachers who give so much of themselves without expecting anything in return. She continues to go over and beyond in every realm of her profession. She is both an asset and a blessing to everyone who comes into contact with her.
Mrs. Mason is one of the greatest teachers I've had. Her style of teaching is like no other. She has the ability to help you where you're at, but also not budge on just giving out answers/grades. This is something that I can greatly appreciate and will not take for granted. Mrs. Mason is a effective communicator, there is never a shadow of doubt in my mind about anything she says because it is crystal clear. I know that my teacher, Mrs. Mason is deserving of this award because of her passion to see the best in students even they can't see the best in themselves and ultimately mold future leaders and future educators.
Mrs. Mason is well deserving of all the awards and accolades that she has received and still striving for. Her commitment, dedication and resilience for her students, co-workers, and community is above and beyond the call of duty. She exudes excellence in all that she does, because only the best is good enough for all of the individuals she touches on a daily basis. I've known Mrs. Mason for 12 years, my entire teaching career. And the knowledge she has bestowed upon me has been invaluable. The encouragement and support she gives to each student, parent, co-worker and community leaders is amazing! On top of all that, she is a wonderful mother to two brilliant young ladies. I'm grateful to call Mrs. Mason a friend, whom continues to trailblaze through this journey called life.
It's always amazed me that, with all she has on her to-do list, Mrs. Mason will always manage to squeeze in time to support others.
I met her on the job almost 20 years ago, before she answered her calling to be an educator. She trained me on everything I needed to excel in the workplace, and I've enjoyed watching her guide her peers to excellence ever since. Whether she's hands on helping with lesson plans, or writing a book (yes, she's an author) to provide other educators with techniques for prosperity in the classroom, she always makes herself available to assist others.
Being that she is very dedicated & extremely patient, it's no surprise that this natural born leader is so inspiring to her students and peers. Everyone she encounters is encouraged by her positivity and passion. I've watched her show her pupils by example and instruction to reach beyond what they think their potential is to achieve success.
I should also mention that her former students are regularly blessed by her acts of kindness beyond the classroom. She's done everything from helping to search for scholarships to finding underprivileged students attire for formal events or job interviews...she has even helped locate housing for a new college student in a pinch.
Mrs. Shareefah Mason is most deserving of this honor. Daily she manages to take on all the tasks of her professional life, still be a doting mommy to her two angels, a devoted wife, and make it all look effortless. And she genuinely does all of this with love in her heart. Now is time for her to get a little of that love back.
Shareefah, congratulations on your nomination! I cannot wait until you are awarded LifeChanger of 2018-2019!
Congratulations sis!! May God continue to bless you to bless the kids!! Love Ya sis!! Proud of you!!
Ms.mason was one of my favorite teachers. If someone In the class had a hard time with an assignment she didn’t hesitate to help us, and she was kind to everyone.

Ms.Mason is a great, although she is strict at times she is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Not only does she teach very well, she gives good advice about other things that we need help in. #awesome
Shareefah is literally a “big sister.” We have known each other since high school and more. Even at that time, she always encouraged schoolmates to pursue greatness regardless of your circumstance. It is not a surprise that same drive has carried with her into the classroom as an educator. I’m proud to call her a friend, colleague, Soror (Zeta Phi Beta Sigma Family), and a real sister to all she encounters. Where we come from, success is inevitable with dedication and hard-work, and Mrs. Mason has always personified.
I met Mrs Shareefah Nadir Mason while attending Nicholls State University. She is a very loveable person. She became a memeber of Zeta Phi Beta sorority making us Sorority sisters. We didnt always see eye to eye but always showed each other respect. I am so glad God allowed our paths to cross. I am proud to call her sister.
Shareefah is one of the most loudest easy spirit person I know on the earth. She is always there just when you need her. She is so passionate about teaching, but what I love the most is that love she have for the students is beyond amazing.
Mrs. Mason is one of the most inspiring people I have ever come across in all of my school, work, and personal life combined. Although she will be the teacher to make you feel like class is neverending, she only pushes us to be our best selves and only wants the best work possible from her students. Mrs. Mason has slowly grown on me to be the mother figure I didn't ask for but am grateful to have. LOVE YA MRS. MASON ^~^

I worked with her at Boude Storey..awesome teacher and person!! Enough said.
Mrs. Mason is an amazing teacher. She is an amazing resource to the students and fellow colleagues (me)! I have visited her class personally and her relationship with her students is special. She knows how to connect with her students so they they want to learn. She deserves this!
I had the amazing opportunity to know first hand of Mrs. Mason’s greatness and passion for students and education when I was a 8th grader at Boude Storey Middle School from 2006-07. Although I wasn’t in her class, she always encouraged me and supportive during my time at Storey. Even now, her passion inspired me to continue my education, which I am now a 2nd year History Ph.D. Student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. She continues to educate her students, in and out of class, and stresses the importance of giving back to the community.
I met Shareefah almost 10 years ago and she has been a great influence on my life every since. She is a “go to” person whenever anything is going wrong. Shareefah always has the answer for any question, hard or easy. She is an outstanding person and will help you with anything, no matter what time of day it is. Congrats Shareefah! You got this!
Ms.Mason is one of the most caring people I know, she is very enthusiastic to teach and has truly changed my life. She has a heart of gold and she always has her door open for anyone who wants to talk, she is an amazing human being that encouraged me to not be afraid and follow my dreams, because of her I will be starting Political Science in the fall at UNT Dallas.
Ms mason is a great teacher because she knows how to balance out having fun and getting work done.Her class is very fun and exciting and full of knowledge that can be use in school and the real life.
Shareefah is an outstanding teacher. She cares for her students as if they were her own. We need more educators like her.
Words can’t even express the impact Mrs. Mason had on my life. I remember my 8th grade year at Boude Storey and if anybody went to that school knows class of 2014. She made that year very memorable for us from the educational stance to all the life lessons in between. She showed us what it means to take education to another level so that everyone can engage and get the knowledge that they need. I wish nothing but an abundance of success and more and more positive doors to open up for you Mrs.Mason you deserve it all and more.
A caring and charismatic teacher. Always at work putting all his effort, always creating meaningful connections.
Amazing Teacher! So Deserving!

I have watched her give 110% in and out if the classroom. She has even played an important part in my life.
I have worked with many teachers throughout my life, but she is one of the teachers that ALWAYS kept me engaged during class. She always explains her topics clearly and never hesitates to re-explain if my classmates and I don't understand. Every step during senior year, she always believed in my class including myself, even if times were tough. Thanks to her, I have acquired new knowledge during class and I always know I have is a #1 supporter by my side, helping me no matter how tough the problem is. Overall, she is one of the greatest supporters I have the pleasure of having as my teacher. All I can say is, when she teaches you, you never look at her the same way again.
Shareefah Mason is an phenomenal educator!!! She is deserving of this award because she goes above and beyond for the students. Congratulations Mrs. Mason!!!!
My mother Shareefah Nadir-Mason deserves this award more than anyone one else! My mom works so hard everyday she stays at school until at least 8:00pm trying to find other ways to engage her students. My mom is a life changer at work and at home everyday! She gives her all trying to teach her husband(my father), sister, and myself. Everyone appreciates my mother and what she does for her community. She has never competed with her co-workers but has strived to help them. She engages her students in very creative ways that can help them not be asleep but up working. Her strategy P.U.L.L. is so famous in her career and her students never use any other strategies. My mom cares about all races no matter your background she cares. She's double the educator she's a teacher and a mother. Nobody fits this award like my mother and no matter what she strives for excellence nothing less. I love the LifeChanger of the Year award because it showcases the talent for everyone and my mom has the talent you want. My mother is very educated and is the life changer you are looking for. Don't know who to pick she's in your view my mother is ready at all times and we are ready for you!!!

The students and staff have the utmost respect for her. Her encouragement and bright spirit have truly assisted me personally through some tough days as an educator. I have been truly blessed to have had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Mrs. Mason. Congratulations on the nomination. You deserve it!

The lovely Mrs Mason was my 7th grade teacher at Boude Storey Middle School (06-07). I loved how she taught Social Studies. Ive never cared for that subject at all until I graduated to Middle School. She was that teacher who was down to earth and relatable. She was that teacher who class you didn’t want to leave. Mrs Mason definitely became my favorite teacher. I remember I use to skip my lunch just to hang out in her class and help out with whatever she needed. She was that person you could talk to when you needed somebody. She could also make you laugh New Orleans accent and all. Mrs Mason was that teacher you had to go back & give a High school graduation ticket too..because you wanted her to be proud to see you flourish for she was definitely apart of helping you grow to be great . That’s why I believe she’s a Life Changer. For she is forever changing lives. generation after generation. Love You Mrs Mason! It’s a honor to be a student of yours. ??
Congratulations!!! Still the same Mrs Mason! Unstoppable and uncompromising in your efforts to uplift and engage students in learning and growing! I’m so proud of you. Keep up the great work.

I was one of Ms.Mason's students at Boude Storey Middle School from 07-08. I love her ! She made learning so much fun. She always made sure none of us got left behind. She is for sure one of the best person i have met in my life.
A FANTISTIC PERSON !!!! A terrific teacher and instructor .You aren't going to find a more dedicated individual. Loves her profession ! But most of all,her compassion to work with kids (students ) is unmatched by her for drive to see all of her students succeed !!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Shareefah in junior high school. We graduated from a high school full of educators who were creative and passionate about broadening our horizons.

I can't really say I knew Ms. Mason for a long time but in the shortest moments that I've known her she has become one of my favorite educators throughout my senior years. Her upright and social determination personality is something that pushes her beyond that of others. Rather than wanting to see her self succeed her main goal has been to see each one of her students come out on top, through moments of life changing opportunities she had provided us, from being able to participate in a project to help reconstruct a local park in our area to inspiring us to make our voices heard to a political output and through a personal level I couldn't think of any one better suited from this position than Ms. Mason.
We got off on the wrong foot, we even hated one another, but we both got to know each other and now we are pretty cool. She is one of the more down to earth teachers and compared to what kind of teachers I have now, that is something I can't say for many. She is one that shows she cares rather than simply brush off her students as "students" . If there is one person who is definitely worth going to for anything it is her.
She is pretty cool I guess.
Mrs. Mason Is a wonderful teacher.
Good luck Ms.Mason you deserve it.
A teacher whos only interest is to pour knowledge and love on all of her students. Ms. Mason is one of the most intellectual persons I have ever met, the way she can build a relationship with the class is unbelievable. Class is always fun when Ms. Mason is in it, she’ll always be one of my favorite teachers.
Mrs. Mason is a really great teacher. She get's to know all of the students very well with her type of teaching. If anything she is really bad with music. LIke, she has NO rhythm what-so-ever.
Ms.Mason is a really good teacher and cares about her students.
Mrs. Mason is one of the best teacher/ educator I have ever had and all my years in school. She is so engaging in class and we always get the information that we need. She cares about all of her students like we are her own kids. Mrs. Mason has been a blessing to the Class of 2019, and we thank you for all of your hard work!!!!
Mrs. Mason is a really good teacher she has been on of my best teachers so far. I already know that when I walk in her classroom I am going to learn a lot. I love the way she teaches, I also love the fact that she is funny and crazy. I know that she someone who I can ask for help and someone I can ask questions to and she will answer with the true.
Ms.mason is one of the teachers I love learning from, she explains in a way that makes you understand. Will miss her after graduation. :’(

Mrs. Mason is the embodiment of what a teacher should be. Her Love for her students, dedication and passion for education has proven successful for both she and her students. Mrs. Mason, is indeed a Life Changer and should be honored as such.
Mrs.Mason is an amazing teacher she deserves this and more . She goes above and beyond for her students and till this day still reaches out to us and checks up on us .
I've had the privilege of working with Mrs. Mason this past year and actually seeing her in action. Mrs. Mason's tenacity, vigor and true love for what she does is visible on a daily basis, in all that she does and say. The students adore her and the staff love and respect her. And as a member of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, where "Sisterhood", "Service" and "Scholarship" are the main principles of the Sorority, it is an extreme pleasure and delight for me to recognize Mrs. Mason as my sorority sister. Three main principles of of being a "Finer Woman of Zeta" are "Sisterhood", "Service" and "Scholarship". Mrs. Mason effortlessly exemplifies, motivates and promotes each principle daily. Our learners are blessed to have such an outstanding life-changing facilitator/teacher in their corner. Mrs. Mason truly deserves this Lifechanger of the Year award!
Ms. Mason is definitely the most supporting, motivational, loving teacher that I have ever came across. She sees potential in everybody and pushes the students to become the best that they can be.
I'm so proud of you!!! Please continue to shape the minds of our youth through your drive, transparency and creativity... Most importantly, set the standard through your INTESTINAL FORTITUDE!

She destiny to do more in her lifetime because of the great heart she has within her soul and the blessings she brings within her character and skill set. She is Well deserved of this award.
Mrs.Mason isnt just a teacher she is a role model, she inspired us to do better in life. She became a huge part in my life i can always count on her ??. She deserves this and more
Mrs. Mason is the best teacher I ever had she always was patient with me cause I was never the fastest to catch on she's forever appreciated.
Mrs.Mason is and always will be one of the best teachers anyone could ever have!! She truly loves what she teaches, and cares about all her students. She was my middle school teacher and i still talk about her to my family and friends. She deserves nothing but the best. A wonderful and beautiful soul!!
This lady has been in the business of helping others for some time now. I would hope that she’s at the top of the list for this award. Our community needs her continuous support.
Mrs.Mason is the best teacher i have ever met. She is one of the few teachers who actually interact with their students and takes the time to get to know every single one of them.
Mrs. Mason is one of the best, she’s always engaging her students with knowledge. I know she pushes her students to do the best and strive whatever they do. She’s very deserving of this honor.
Educators are definitely heroes. Shareefah continue to strive for excellence and be of service to those God has entrusted in you to educate. It is evident that you are a blessing to not only your students but your colleagues as well. Continue showing everyone that your passion and purpose is second to none. I’m so very proud of you. You’re respresenting our city (New Orleans) well.
Mrs. Mason has always touch souls in and out of the classrooms, she's a wonderful wife, mother, friend, educator and supporter....i'm sure a lot of people are wonderful but no one deserve this award more than Mrs. Mason
I can say that I would be a lost senior This year and if it wasn’t for Mrs. Mason I wouldn’t have the confidence I have today. She is hands down the BEST teacher I have ever had in my entire high school career. She has inspired me to do better in life and take the smarter route to success. Not only is she the best teacher but the best supporter. When I was down and didn’t have the motivation to do anything she was there cheering for me to keep going and put my best foot forward and it worked. The best aspect about Mrs. Mason is the fact that she has your back in and out the classroom. She establishes that it’s okay to talk to your teacher if you need to and not feel ashamed about it. Not only is she a great supporter but a great listener and I believe that that is how she establishes real world connections with her students. She keeps it real and tells you how it is no matter who she is around or anything. Mrs. Mason will forever be my favorite teacher and she deserves this award!!!!!
Mrs.Mason Is One Of The Most Funniest , Strict , Pretty And She Quick To Solve A Problem?? I Have So Much Fun With Her But Also She Teaches well And Isn't Like Other Teachers?
Mrs. Mason is an amazing teacher and she gets along with many of her students due to her cheerful personality. She also shows that she cares for her students because she takes her time to get to know them.

She is an amazing. Shes always helping me and shes never given up on me.
For the last three years, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Mason. She actually about her students academically and socially. We partnered together to conduct home visits to ensure she was well acquainted with the students and their families. Mrs. Mason organized events at the school that included families as well. She is surely an educator that cares for all students, not to mention she always helps students grow academically.
Mrs.Mason has always been an excellent educator! I haven’t had another teacher like her! Congratulations Mrs.Mason!
ms mason is one of the great teachers I've had through out my four years of high school.
I known Ms.Mason since the change that Sarah Zumwalt middle school had to New Tech. She has been a teacher that without knowing you she wants to make a connection to the students in school. Throughout the year I always seen her with a smile, she was the only teacher that was always happy to teach her students. Starting my senior year, I didn't know who my Government teachers was going to be. For my surprise it was Ms. Mason who everyday she would make conversation with me and at the end of the day she would ask me if my day went good. Not only she deserves the "Life changer award" bu she deserves many more she is a teacher that makes the class fun but is serious about her work getting done. Thank You Ms. Mason for always pushing us to do our best, we love you.
Ms.Mason is a great teacher ,she keeps it real with you .Even though she barely started teaching me on my senior year ,just by being with her in class you can tell she has a genuine heart .You can say she’s cRaZy but it’s funny because you can be your self with her, you can tell her anything and she’ll be there for you .
Being a teacher is not a job it is a calling that takes a special person that has a gift to love, nurture, inspire and educate children from all walks of life. Shareefah has always embodies these characteristics. Awesome job Shareefah we’re so proud of you!
She deserves the LifeChanger year award because she is a really nice and caring person and she makes sure that a kid is successful in school and in life .
Mrs. Mason, is one of the few teachers who actually goes above and beyond for her students. She makes sure to always guide them in the right path. I had the honor of being one of her students in middle school and I actually wish we had more teachers like her, it would make such a huge improvement in our education system. No one else deserves this more!
Mrs.Mason made learning fun for me I met her attending my first year at Boude Storey in 2006 she was my 7th grade history teacher I enjoyed coming to her class everyday knowing that I was going learn something new she made sure her students where prepared for our next grade level she was more than a teacher she listened to our problems too I love Mrs.Mason for that
Shareefa is an outstanding educator..
Your work speaks for itself!!
Shareefah has always been the biggest supporter and fan for many! It is second nature for her to be a major influence to so many children (adult) lives!
Shareefah Mason truly has a passion for education and not just instructional, but educating the whole child. We worked together at Boude Storey for 6 years. It was my first teaching experience and she was one of the experienced teachers who taught me it is not only important to give the students meaningful instruction, but also build long-lasting relationships with them! So proud of Mrs. Mason as she continues to move in her passion and teaching students and colleagues along the way!!
Mrs. Mason is a dedicated person not only to her students, but to her community as well. She strives for excellence and will always be “Second to None”.
Mrs. Mason continues to be the example of the ideal teachers I want my children to be taught by at every grade level, including post graduate. She is a nurturer and truly cares about her students, which unfortunately is becoming more rare each day. She deserves this recognition and beyond for the work that she is doing with our youth.
Already done your doing great things love you
Shareefah has always been passionate about our youth. It is of no surprise to me that she has been nominated for this award. She develops life long relationships with her students and pushes them to always strive for greatness. I am.so proud of the educator that she has become, but I am definitely not surprised.
Congratulations on the nomination Shareefah. I'm super proud of you and good luck!
Mrs. Mason has been a dedicated friend since elementary school and has continued to be a positive force in the lives of others throughout the years. She has always possessed the qualities of a leader. Her leadership skills go beyond the classroom; she embodies poise, grace, commitment, and current practices when guiding fellow educators. Congrats on your nomination and continue to be a beacon of light that adds to the value of education
Well deserved. So proud of you cuzin ????.
Mrs. Mason wasnt my teacher but she was my oldest sister teacher in middle school at Boude Storey. I still learned alot from her when i was going to her class just to be going. There was things i never knew she taught me . She helps you understand if you don't get it . She's going to push you until you get it. Thats what i like about her she not going to give up until you get it no matter how hard it gets. She do not play about her teaching process one thing about her is if you dont want to learn she's not going to make you but she's going to help the ones that wants to learn . YOU DESERVE IT MS.MASON love you lots
I have been knowing Mrs. Mason for about 20 something years now. We met at Nicholls State University. She was extremely passionate then and continues that fire inside of her for educating the youth of today. I'm so proud of her accomplishments and her tenacity for change. Keep moving forward by becoming the change you want to see in the world!
Mrs. Mason is a trailblazer! Her passion for imparting knowledge is immaculate! She goes above and beyond content and pedagogy! She genuinely cares about helping others and is a servant leader!
Shareefah Nadir-Mason is an amazing educator! Her passion for the growth and achievement of her students shows through everything she does! Keep pushing sis! #blackgirlmagic
Being around mrs. Mason was life changing for me and the crazy part is I didn't her as a teacher. I was so grateful to experience the different activities that she created at boude storey. She is one extraordinary person
Ms.Mason is a great teacher and I can say for sure that she has a great impact on peoples life. A great influencer among teenage students. She pushes students to reach their max and that's enough to describe what an amazing teacher she is.
Ms.Mason is one of the most motivated teachers that wants to make a change for the better. I have never met a teacher that is so eager to help and teach as her and honestly we need more people like her. I have had the pleasure to be one of her students and she made the class both fun and educational an now a days that is hard class to come by. This nomination just proves what everyone knows about her, that she is one smart caring person that works hard everyday and doesn't let obstacles stop her.
Mr. Mason is one of the best teachers i've had in an extremely long time. If there is anyone that deserves that award, besides me, it's her.
Amazing teacher. She does her job effectively
Shareefah Mason is the most charismatic teacher I have ever been around. I admire her character and the way she gets things done no matter the cost. I remember this particular instance in where we were having a small argument in Student Council. She got us all together and told us about the different types of people in life. The doers which get the tasks completed and the others who constantly complain and try to bring others down. She asked us which person did we want to be in life? From that moment, I knew the only way I would be able to achieve my goals was to become a doer. She changed me for the better because I took that advice and made that the reason I wake up every day to work hard and make a name for myself. No matter the situation, the cost, or the instance, I’m going to complete my objectives thanks to Ms.Mason.
Hey Mrs.mason hope you win the award.
Ever since the school year started and the whole shift of schools it really messed my whole mood towards my senior year, but since you joined in my outlook has gone up. With your joyful outgoing energy, charming charisma and your protectiveness towards your own kids even though we’ve only been your students for this year, I truly feel at home when I’m in your presence.
Good luck,
Love Jose Vera
Mrs. Shareefah Mason is a very outgoing teacher. When I had first meet her, I didn't think she had anything for us, but she changed that around when she started to teach, we learn life lessons in her class and we also come up with ways on how to make the world a better place. She has also helped in difficult situations and has also taught us, new ways of approaching situations that you may not be familiar with. She is a very funny,caring, and hard working teacher and I love her, she can brighten up anybody day.
I love you Ms. Mason ??
Mrs. Mason's academic and educational record speaks for itself; However, her dedication toward reaching the hearts of her students is what's at an exemplary level. She has high expectations for all of her students and these expectations stem outside of her classroom. She challenges students to learn about their own personal heritage. In doing so, the students gain an understanding about who they are. The philosophy is that the students work toward fostering a standard of excellence in all that they do. Moreover, she constantly connects with students to ensure they are living up to who they say they are and who they can be. As educators, we're tasked of teaching the whole child and Mrs. Mason has mastered the art of promulgating these characteristics. Her drive and determination for excellence is an example by which other educators and people should follow.
Mrs. Shareefah Mason is an outstanding teacher. I have never met an instructor that has wanted to teach and inspire young students the way Mrs. Mason does. She goes out of her way to lead young people to greatness and makes sure everyone is getting what they need. Educating students is one of many attributes Mrs. Mason carries. She is an intelligent, funny, and inspiring woman. Thank you, Mrs. Mason, for inspiring the class of 2019 and being the example we need! You deserve this title.
Shareefah Mason is one of the best, if not the best, educators I have ever known. We taught together for 8 years. The way she connected current events and ideas to Social Studies curriculum was more than impressive! However, the way she connected with her students was more than human. I always asked her if she had more hours of the day than the rest of us. I never understood how she managed to provide the best social studies instruction I’ve ever seen, lead the department, participate in extra curriucular activities, make up plays and dance rountines for our school’s shows, go to outside of school events for the students, successfully tutor/coach in subjects that she has not officially taught, write books, present at national conferences, and maintain a prospering home... at the same time! This woman is a superhero!!! This woman is a life changer!!!
Shareefah and I meet at Boude Storey Middle School in 2006 . Her pure heart instantly toched me and we became family her love and passion she have for her students you could ask for a better teacher..Congratulations on all your accomplishments..Handy
I know Mrs. Mason has a generous and loving heart. I have the privilege to call her classmate and friend. It does not surprise me at all of her excellence. As I call her, Reef has always been smart and caring. I know she deserves this honor!
Shareefah Mason is the Lifechanger of the Year! It isn’t often God puts a soul on this earth with so much passion about Education. Shareefah exudes education in everything she does and deserves this recognition recognition.
I have known Mrs. Mason for over 20 years. She has always been a leader and what many may call “a villager.” As the old saying goes, “it takes a village” and Mrs. Mason has always been supportive and encouraging. Those same qualities (as well as others) have helped her to be the educator that she is. It is always a blessing to see the growth of someone over the years and I am happy that we have remained connected. Many blessings to you Shareefah!!!
You deserve all the recognition and blessings that come your way! I know you put in the time and effort to ensuring those kids having all the tools necessary to succeed. If only we had more like you leading the way the world would be much better. Leadership, discipline, and love are a few of the many great qualities you embody. I can’t think of anyone else more deserving of this award than you!
Mrs. Mason is definitely an amazing example of what I wish my kids teachers would be like. She will make sure everyone in the class is participating and will break that ice for you! She does an unbelievable job as a teacher. I remembered getting excited walking into her 7th period class back in 06-07 at Boude Storey Middle School. She would make sure the class was having fun and learning at the same time! I can think of many memories laughing, joking and most importantly learning all at once. Learning had never been so much fun. She also changed my negative thoughts in growing up in such a poor neighborhood making me believe I can still achieve and become successful one day. I now am a landlord, I own 3 rental properties, I am attending college to pursue my business degree and will continue to achieve due to the teacher that one day changed my way of thinking forever. Thank you Mrs. Mason!
Congratulations!!!! Mrs.Mason u deserve it all!! She goes over and beyond for everyone!!
??MRS. MASON FOR PRESIDENT 2020??????????
She was the best teacher ????? . She is so smart an sweet ??. Mrs. Mason Was my social studies teacher at South Oak Cliff High School. Mrs. Mason is patient ??,kind ????,lovable ??, she deserves EVERYTHING GREAT that is coming her way.
Ms. Mason was my 8th grade teacher in 2009, not only was she an amazing educator but also a friend you could confide in. She knew when something was wrong with you, and was always willing to help you feel better. Ms. Mason could put a smile on your face even if you walked in her class having a bad day. She had a way of making lessons fun and keeping us engaged. I remember being in elementary when my older brother would talk about his new teacher that came from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He loved her so much. I never knew how a kid could be so excited about going to a class until I was fortunate enough to have her as my history teacher as well. Ms. Mason deserves to be recognized for her excellence and compassion. She goes above and beyond for her students, she has such a big heart and makes sure we know we can achieve anything. She keeps in touch with all her students and continues to motivate and cheer us on even now in our adulthood. I nominate Ms. Mason for Life Changer Of The Year for being a superb teacher and changing the life of her students through education and love.
Having worked with Mason for three years, I have come to know her as a friend. She definitely pushed me in ways that made me a better teacher and made me look at things from a different perspective. Of course the kids adored her. She established bonds with kids that I know will last a lifetime. She has a heart for uplifting kids beyond their circumstance and environment. Together along with another colleague, we started a program to increase parent parcipation and it took off like a spark. Parent involvement increased by 80% and it took our campus to another level. She is very innovative but knows how to pull together the talents of her colleague so that it is most effective in helping and engaging kids. She has definitely changed many lives for the better.
Mrs. Mason has been an inspitlration of mine for many years. She is the epitome of class, kindness, professionalism and dedication, not only to her craft, but to her family and friends. She is a true jewel. ??????
Very influential . This is the perfect candidate for this award. She is a very hardworking teacher and her passion is to lead her students to their greatest potential .
The fire that she has can not be extinguished!
Congratulations, Shareefah! So proud of your nomination and accomplishments!
Mrs. Mason has been an inspiration and motivation since I’ve known her. She taught at my middle school, one of the toughest in Dallas ISD, and has inspired so many students like myself to pursue a career in education. I am currently an Assistant Principal in DISD and I couldn’t have done it without her encouragement.
I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Mason at Boude Storey Middle School. Mrs. Mason is an EXCELLENT teacher! She’s very passionate about education and a true warrior for children!
Shareefah deserves all of the accolades and awards she has earned. She embodies passion, commitment, and intelligence needed to be instrumental in changing lives, as she has done. She is excellence embodied.
Shareefah deserves this and plenty more. Not only is she this was with her student but even outside of school she shows the same exact love. Our daughters went to PreK together and has been best friends since. She is like another mother to my child and I thank her for that. She treats and gives my child the same attention that she gives hers. I love her and truly wish nothing but success for her. If I have ever needed someone to talk to I can call and talk to her. Trying to help children succeed in life is her passion. Keep doing a great job in what you believe!
I have known Ms. Mason since college, she has always had an impeccable, genuine way of reaching out to the people around her and making them better. She has always embodied a spirit of growth and unity in which she exuded and felt by everyone around her. I am not surprised that she is a nominee for this award, she is a phenomenal human being with great talent. The students are truly blessed to have her.
You are such an inspiration to me so I know yiu are impacting the lives of these young adults. Everyone cannot do the work that you do everyday, so thank you. I love seeing you in this type of light. Super proud of you momma. In my book you've already won.
Mrs. Mason is an excellent teacher and a life long mentor. Her passion for teaching and the love for her students is definitely one of a kind and it goes beyond the classroom. I had the amazing previllage of being one of her students when she was teaching at Boude Story Middle School and now I am a graduate holding a Bachelors degree. It’s been over 12 years since she was my teacher and she has always showed her love and support troughout my journey. She is definitely the teacher and mentor every student needs in their lives. Her desire to succeed and to see her student succeed is truely amazing! She definitely deserves this award for her dedication, passion, and love for her students.
Shareefah, has shown a dedication like know other in impacting the lives of our underserved youth. Her passion for education and compassion for her students make her very deserving of this award. She is a role model to her students and other educators.
Mrs Mason has been a dear friend of mine for over 25 years strong. She's always been an amazing person. Extremely intelligent yet so humble and down to earth. We were a couple years apart so she was the big sister of our community. She was always someone you could talk to in a judgment free climate. I see that same spirit with the way she interacts with her students. I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of a life changer award being as though she's been doing this her entire life.
Mrs.Mason is a wonderful teacher. When I attended Boude Storey I wasn’t her student but she most definitely treated me as such. When I went to South Oak Cliff High School she was there my freshman year and she was there for all of my classmates if we needed her. She supported me and my cousin in whatever we did. Mrs. Mason still encourages me to continue to do well in college and tells me how proud she is of me. I love Mrs. Mason!!??
Shareefah has been a part of my world for more than 25 years. To watch her grow into Super Encouraging woman is not a surprise but awesome to watch. As an upperclassman schoolmate in high school, I looked up to her...she didn't let us put our heads down and give up. She always had something positive to say and would make you laugh! She still to this day, encourage us, her way, through positive comments on our post, sharing words of encouragement and supporting our endeavors. It's great to see her nominated again this year! I may not watch her in action in her current position, but I have no doubt that she is helping to positively mold and change the lives of her Seniors!! I strongly believe that she deserves this award!
There isn’t anyone who deserves this award more than Ms. Mason. She embodies what a teacher should be. The most amazing thing about her is that she genuinely cares about each of her students. She has had a big impact in my life! I’m so proud of her and I hope she gets the recognition that she deserves!
Best teacher to ever teach on this earth!!!!! Congratulations !!!
Congratulations Mrs Mason! You have always been a very caring and nurturing person. You deserve it!
Throughout my years in school, I have never met a teacher who engages and cares for their students as much as Mrs. Mason. She has been the only teacher thus far that shows their students how to be held accountable for their actions. Not only do I admire her, but I also appreciate the things she tells us because it opens our eyes and minds up. She talks about the reality of things and what we can do to change it. All while STILL staying on top of her work to make sure we're successful. She mentors every single one of her students in a special way and encourages us to give back to our community so we can produce a change for those who need it. I am very fond of Mrs. Mason and hope to be able to watch her achieve everything she has planned and more! that including, watching her receive this award that she deserves so much.
Congratulations Shareefah. You never cease to amaze me. Super proud of your hard work and dedication that you have put into our youth. You are so worthy of all the success that comes your way.
Ms. Mason needs to be recognized, She embodies what a teacher needs to be. The most amazing thing about her asides from being a great teacher is that she genuinely cares about each of her students. Ms. Mason has a huge impact in my life, she’s the reason why I became a better student and person. I’m so happy for her, I hope she gets the recognition she deserves!!
Shareefah has always been passionate about education. She is a leader by nature. Her competitive spirit allows her to lead whatever the task. The district is blessed to have her on their team. She will continue to enrich the lives of her students!! This award and all awards to follow is well deserved! Proud of you! ??
I am one of Mrs.Mason’s former student and I know for a fact that she loves what she does. Mrs.Mason has always had a great connection with her students if she taught you or not. She didn’t only teach us she mentor her students and showed us tough love something that we all needed. She believed and sill believes in all her students. I love you Mrs.Mason and congratulations!!
This is a phenomenal woman! Always giving back, super supportive and professional! She is well diverse and resourceful. She has always went above and beyond in everything she comitts to.
Mrs. Mason is very dedicated to helping her students perform at the highest level that they can. She is also concerned with their well being. She truly believes in educating the whole child. Keep up the good work.
This makes me so happy and proud of Ms. Mason . She has always been a big inspiration to me and I’m sure to her previous students as well. With no doubt she always went the extra mile for her students to make sure they understandood the material been taught and to understand that they were cable of being much more than what the believed. Ms. Mason deserves this recognition award for all her hard work and dedication to teaching , and I could not be more proud as a previous student of her whom I learned so much from about life and social studies . I couldn’t ask for a better social studies teacher my 8th grade year. Congratulations to Ms. Mason wishing you many more blessings and happiness. Thank you again for being a wonderful teacher. Love you , and take care .
It has been a huge honor to be able to say i seen and lived the encouraging and great person Mrs Mason is! She performs her job at its finest!! Best teacher ive known thank you mrs mason! #LetsGoNewOrleans #Whoooothat
Mrs. Mason has yet to finish with her accomplishments. She has excelled in everything she’s done even with me. She helped me in so many ways when I was her student, & not only me, it was all of her students. She sure did show tough love, but it was the love we required. Not only did she just help the scores of a school, or win win awards, she helped the lives of various students in need. I don’t see how there could be any other possible candidates when Mrs. Mason deserves this and much more! Thanks for everything Mrs. Mason.
Shareefah has always been an amazing person. I am so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. Keep smiling bright as you continue to touch the lives of those around you. You deserve this reward and so much more. Good Luck!
To my beautiful great niece I'm so proud of you. Youve always been so humble. If I could vote a thousand times you'd always be my choice. Keep up the good work. You're always in my thoughts and prayers. Love You Much Tee!!
Such a lovely person, inside and out. Who does a great job in everything she does.
I have not had the privilege of working with Mrs. Mason in the classroom, but I have witnessed her interact with her students on several occasions and it is extremely obvious that she loves teaching. She has a true connection with her students and she pours into them in more areas than just academics. She understands that her "job" does not end when the bell rings at the end of the day. She not only teaches, mentors and pours into her own students, but also does the same to her daughters friends, my daughters included. The conversations she has with these young ladies and the things that she teaches them will affect them for the rest of their lives. Her passion and love for helping and teaching others extends beyond her school and home as well. She works with non-profit organizations by teaching and pouring into others, as well as works on other projects to help better the community. I am a witness to the fact that everything she does, she does it with excellence, enthusiasm and with so much passion. To say that Mrs. Mason is a life-changer, would be a huge understatement. If I could think of anyone that would be deserving of this award, it would be her.
I've witnessed Mrs.Mason go the extra mile time & time again on behalf of her students. As a staunch advocate for student academic succes, Mrs Mason works tirelessly in the classroom. I'm a former colleague and we worked at one of the toughest schools in the area. When Mrs Mason says "success is not determined by your address" she means it. Her students were not let off the hook in fact, they rose to the expectations she created in the classroom.I can genuinely say she works hard in the name of student advancement.
Mrs Mason you are deserving of this prestige award. You give you all to everyone you come into contact with. So grateful to have you in me and my family's life. Thank you so much also for loving our babies, for they are our FUTURE ????????????
There is no one more deserving of this title than Ms. Mason. She embodies what a teacher should be holistically. Ms. Mason is kind, compassionate yet holds her students to high expectations both academically and as leaders of tomorrow. She believes in her students and in turn they thus believe in themselves. She upholds the concept of restorative discipline and makes a concerted effort to maintain constructive relationships with all students, not just the ones she directly teaches. She is indeed a transformative figure both inside and outside the classroom.
I have not had the privilege of working with Mrs. Mason in the classroom, but I have witnessed her interact with her students on several occasions and it is extremely obvious that she loves teaching. She has a true connection with her students and she pours into them in more areas than just academics. She understands that her "job" does not end when the bell rings at the end of the day. She not only teaches, mentors and pours into her own students, but also does the same to her daughters friends, my daughters included. The conversations she has with these young ladies and the things that she teaches them will affect them for the rest of their lives. Her passion and love for helping and teaching others extends beyond her school and home as well. She works with non-profit organizations by teaching and pouring into others, as well as works on other projects to help better the community. I am a witness to the fact that everything she does, she does it with excellence, enthusiasm and with so much passion. To say that Mrs. Mason is a life-changer, would be a huge understatement.

The amazing thing about Mrs. Mason is how she genuinely cares about every student. I wasn’t in any of her classes but that still didn’t stop her from reaching out to me and having a huge impact in my life. Thanks to her i became a better student by communicating and always believing in me. I am so happy for her! She deserves this recognition and so much more!
You deserve this in so many ways!!! I’m happy you earned this wonderful award!!! Congratulations Mrs. Mason!!! We love you!!!

Mrs. Mason deserved to be recognize. She has gifted her vision of educating every student with live, accountability, structure, and integrity. She believes in each one of her students and very attentive to their success stories. Mrs. Mason is the epitome of a great educator. So proud of you Shsreefah!
I know Ms. Mason’s desire and calling is to shape students, but her dedication to her students shapes the minds and hearts of adults as well. She is my shining example of excellence in education and community service. She walks her talk and her example encourages others to do the same.
I met Mrs. Mason in college when she was known as Shareefah Nadir. We were only acquaintances for a while. However, when we took the time to get to know each other, we became great friends. We laughed and cried together. We shared secrets with one another and developed an unbreakable bond. She persevered through many ups and downs with her head held high. It was then, I knew she was destined for great things. So I’m not surprised at all at the accolades, awards, or accomplishments she has garnered thus far.
It is a rarity to find a teacher who teaches with passion, love, and who truly believes that each student matters, but I know each student has found that in Mrs. Mason.
Congratulations on your nomination my friend. You deserve that and more!
Mrs. Mason is a life-changer! She is on fire for kids! In my 24 years in education, I can't think of anyone who has had the energy and the drive that this lady possesses. Everything she does is done with a tremendous amount of passion. You can't help but catch a spark of it when you're in her presence. She definitely touches the lives of those she encounters, encouraging them not only to dream, but to chase that dream with every ounce of their being!
I’m so proud of my Cousin and her accomplishment. She came into my life late but God knew exactly what he was doing. LOL! I love her drive, passion and the way she overcomes the challenges that may face her. She’s GREAT and will always seek the advice from her peers. This young lady will research her self to death if you don’t stop her on how to be GREATER for her students. The school system of Dallas, TX has a diamond jewel and they should be Elated to have an awesome woman of God, educator and friend by the name of Shareefah Mason. ??
Mrs. Mason has really impacted my life. I’ve had not teacher/ mentor like her. She really takes the time to create a bond with every single one of her students. This is something I admire about her because there are not manny teachers that care about her student or their future.
Congratulations on your nomination. You deserve the recognition because of your hard work and dedication. Way to go Soror!
So proud of my big sis and all that she does to help her students to become successful!
Mrs. Mason is an extremely passionate and dedicated educator who holds her students to high expectations. She challenges hers students achieve goals beyond their own expectations and ignites a true passion for learning into her students. Her passion for educating is so strong that the underclassman cannot wait to take her class. She does an excellent job of building relationships with all of her students. Mrs. Mason always goes the extra mile to ensure that the campus goals are not only met but exceeded. She is a true team player and teacher leader. She leads the History Department with a great deal of creativity and zeal. Mrs. Mason a true inspiration to the students, teachers and staff of New Tech High and we are blessed to have her on our team.
Shareefah embodies the essence of a "change agent" I am proud to call her a colleague in this work and more importantly, a friend. Shareefah has a heart and soul for children, which guides her work as an educator. Shareefah is super deserving of the "life changer of the year" award as she continues to change the lives of students and those in and around the community. With or without this distinction, Shareefah is "the real deal" and this organization will be well represented with Shareefah's name on their award. Congratulations sis! I am so very proud of you. Sending love and light all the way from New Orleans ?
You got this girl! You’re the best of the best and you will keep winning!!
I have only known Mrs. Mason since the beginning of my senior year but it feels like I've known her for more than that. I admire Mrs.Mason if I'm being honest. The way she cares for every single person who is in front of her truly shows who she is. The way she connects with students and builds relationships with them to get to know them better truly shows how amazing her heart is. I have never felt more acknowledge by a teacher until she came around. She makes sure that every student knows they have potential and motivates us to show the best in us. Because of Mrs.Mason I even considered at one point to become a teacher myself due to the way she cares about her students and makes sure they don't get left behind in anything that they won't understand. I truly believe Mrs. Mason deserves to receive this life changer of the year award because she is the true meaning of a life changer. Thank you Mrs. Mason for everything you have done, we love you.

I met Mrs. Mason five years ago while working a summer school program. Her conversation is always about increasing student achievement and improving the quality of instruction. I watched her build special relationships with teachers and students all summer. She has a natural ability to forge relationships with even the most challenging students. One does not have to be around Mrs. Mason long, to hear and witness her passion for educating all students, and systemic changes that could improve this process. She was truly born to do this work. She is an irreplaceable asset to her campus and our district.
My past year with Ms. Mason has been amazing! She’s an amazing teacher and motivates students to push theirselves to succeed. She definately deserves the Life Changer award!
Mrs.Mason deserves to be recognized not just for her talent to teach, but because she has changed the perspective of every student she teaches including mines.
It's hard for me to write this without choking up a bit, but when I think about the epitome of a teacher, I think about Mrs. Shareefah Nadir-Mason. Although I think I'm a pretty spirited person, Mason has me beat, period. We worked together for a little over 2 years at Zumwalt Middle School as a part of the ACE program, and we would NOT have been able to accomplish all that we did had she not been a member of that team. Even though Mrs. Mason was the 8th grade teacher at the time, if you ever had to transition by her room, you became her student. When I think about Mason, the words "influential", "tenacious", "determined", "ZEALOUS", "loving", and "unconquerable soul" all come to mind. Being a content master is excellent, which she is, but she is way more than that. She has a gift of reaching -ALL- students, as as a former Instructional Coach, that's the type of teacher you dream about having all throughout your campus. Students feel comfortable talking to her about academics and their personal lives, which is vital given some of the challenges our scholars faced. I can only imagine the stellar work that she is doing as a high school teacher now, but I have no doubts that Mrs. Mason's former students still think about and contact her. If you have ever had the pleasure of having her as a teacher, it's likely that she molded your life in some manner, and for that reason it is with high enthusiasm I support Shareefah Nadir-Mason as the Lifechanger of the Year.
This is the PERFECT award for Mrs.Mason not only is she a phenomenal teacher inside the classroom. She exemplifies great qualities as a person, I can't count on one hand how many times she has helped me with scholarships, or given me advice, and she even put me on to her book. Mrs. Mason is definitely a LIFE CHANGER my senior year wouldn't be great without her. She is funny, a motivator, and her presence is soothing but she is ALL about teaching and making sure we make good grades. If your grades are not right, she will be the first one to let you know, she believes in you and want you to be successful. I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER!!!!
Mrs. Mason's academic and educational record speaks for itself; However, her dedication toward reaching the hearts of her students is what's at an exemplary level. She has high expectations for all of her students and these expectations stem outside of her classroom. She challenges students to learn about their own personal heritage. In doing so, the students gain an understanding about who they are. The philosophy is that the students work toward fostering a standard of excellence in all that they do. Moreover, she constantly connects with students to ensure they are living up to who they say they are and who they can be. As educators, we're tasked of teaching the whole child and Mrs. Mason has mastered the art of promulgating these characteristics. Her drive and determination for excellence is an example by which other educators and people should follow.
Congratulations!!!! I am proud of your accomplishment
Mrs. Mason is an awesome teacher. She connects with her students and makes the classroom come alive. She brings the real world into the classroom. She is constant support for her students. Mrs. Mason is also a great coworker. God will continue to bless her as she blesses those she serves.
Great teacher, plus she creates a emotional bond with her students!She helps with school related and personal problems!
Overall great teacher, you’ll be proud to have her as a teacher at your school!
