Today, the First-Year UNC Teaching Fellows had their second cohort meeting of the year. The cohort just consists of every TF in your year, and our cohort has a meeting the first Tuesday of every month. During these meetings, we mostly just talk about important and upcoming dates. However, today a junior TF visited our meeting to talk about a program he started that helps the children of Native American communities in the area. Through the program, TFs work to host workshops in which Native American students can come for tutoring or additional information in different subjects. Because I have a Native American heritage, I am really excited to help out such a great cause.
Another important issue on hand at the meeting was the annual Parents BBQ. Every year, the first-years host a BBQ for their parents to see what all we've been up to in Teaching Fellows so far. We all signed up for duties at the event, such as preparing and acting in a skit about our experiences thus far. I hope we get organized soon...the BBQ's only a month away! Better clean up for the 'rents!
I know how you feel, when I saw that class was canceled I almost threw a party! Man I hate that class! And I am sooooo unbelievably excited to help out with the Native American workshops as well, it is such a great oppurtunity, and I am so thankful that, as a teaching fellows, we get to take part in this.
