00:00.627 --> 00:03.544
(fast-paced music)

00:08.300 --> 00:10.730
- [Brendan] The Department
of Defense Education Activity

00:10.730 --> 00:14.030
selected their Pacific
West Teacher of the Year.

00:14.030 --> 00:15.890
It should come as no surprise

00:15.890 --> 00:18.760
that he doesn't teach for the recognition.

00:18.760 --> 00:21.410
- As all teachers, we put our

00:21.410 --> 00:23.230
blood, sweat and tears into education.

00:23.230 --> 00:25.910
I mean, I think if you're
a teacher you don't do it,

00:25.910 --> 00:26.820
we don't do it for the money.

00:26.820 --> 00:28.180
We do it for the kids,
for the love of kids.

00:28.180 --> 00:31.850
So all the stuff that myself
and my peers have done,

00:31.850 --> 00:34.090
it's just a great honor.

00:34.090 --> 00:35.780
- [Brendan] The student that nominated him

00:35.780 --> 00:37.808
thinks that Mr. Sharpe
is preparing students

00:37.808 --> 00:39.830
for more than just school.

00:39.830 --> 00:43.170
- He can incorporate
what we learn in class

00:43.170 --> 00:45.130
into real life situations,

00:45.130 --> 00:47.400
so it's not just doing a math problem

00:47.400 --> 00:48.600
because you have to do the math problem.

00:48.600 --> 00:50.010
It's doing the math problem

00:50.010 --> 00:53.090
because you might have
to do it in real life.

00:53.090 --> 00:55.080
- [Brendan] From U.S.
Army Garrison Humphreys,

00:55.080 --> 00:56.780
I'm Senior Airman, Brendan Miller.
