One day it will be you, Isabella, who writes and shares ideas at conferences in your field. When you complete your training as a nurse, you will have important experiences which will benefit others. Never forget what it feels like to be a student learning for the first time.

It is great to see scholars from UAM represent our school in such important conferences. I cannot imagine the experience Katie and the other scholars had from this task. Hard work leads to any goals, but they never imagined they would open the door to other undergraduates after their outstanding work at the conference.

You too will open doors for other students someday soon, Luis. The service learning projects you do already are making a difference in your community.

I think experiential learning is very important, Colton. It empowers students to make positive changes in their communities and helps them understand the reasons they work to get an education.

It is amazing to be able to hear from other scholars about how they can get where they need to be, and help when needed. I like how Katie for example pointed out the professors and how they influenced her either in writing or a presentation.

We all have teachers we owe a debt of gratitude to, and we must all remember that the stories of how well we taught will someday be told by the students we are teaching now. It's important to help them feel successful.

I found it very beneficial to see uam students getting an opportunity to attend these press conferences. Especially the undergraduates students that got an opportunity to experience an great event. Seems very challenging but definitely worth the experience.

Dr Walter

I agree. Students who are passionate about learning are the best. Students who want to learn as little as they can get by with never really have an education, no matter how long they study.

“A Wake Up Call in Freshman English” explains a great activity that helped the readers of Fahrenheit 51 interpret the text from a personal perspective. I think that students of all age groups can benefit from activities like this because it shows another side of the text that you may not see while reading.

Grover is always doing interesting things with his students. I'm glad he is teaching Fahrenheit 451. I think Bradbury is an underrated author.

Gathering at conferences is one of the most important and most enjoyable responsibilities of a professional teacher. The sooner we can begin introducing students to that truth, the stronger they will be when they are teachers.
