I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the Kenan Fellows Summer PD. I knew that I would be getting lots of information regarding what was to be expected this upcoming year for our projects, but so far the outcome has been different. The fellowship I have received from the other educators here by far was not what I would have pictured. I love the comradery, the fact that we just met, but seems like we’ve known each other for years. We have shared stories, ideas, dreams.

Every educator goes through a drudge time, where the passion is hidden. Last year, I think did that for many. So far this week that spark has been reignited in so many people’s eyes including mine. This week has just been a great reminder that we aren’t in this alone. Even if you don’t have a close bond with the team members at your school, you now have permanent fellows to share your struggles with for life. Our class of 2021-2022 will go far, just wait and see!
