What has been the most rewarding part of your work with the alliance? <\/B><\/p>\n

Everyday is an adventure, but simply having the opportunity to be in the lives of these 36 amazing students is the most rewarding aspect. I cannot wait to see someday what they bloom into and how they have used what they have experienced here as a member of the UNMC High School Alliance.<\/p>\n

What has been the most challenging aspect of your work with the alliance? <\/B><\/p>\n

The challenge for me this year has been the adjustment of leaving my classroom as the lead instructor to coming to UNMC to be a facilitator of the courses. The ‘administrative world’ also was very new to me.<\/p>\n

\n<\/TABLE>Describe a particularly memorable experience you had working with the alliance. <\/B><\/p>\n

The most memorable experience I have had so far was the very first day that I met all 36 of the alliance students. We held a retreat in August in which we invited a human relations\/leadership program to address the students’ similarities and differences coming from 17 different high schools around the greater Omaha area. I was moved by their insight, their maturity and their emotions. I will never forget that day! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
