Reflection questions to support personal statement writing:    https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/10/21/what-do-you-want-to-be-when-you-grow-up-is-a-horrible-question/ How to get paid to learn:  https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/07/23/get-paid-to-learn-six-practices-to-earn-scholarships/ What students learn when we focus on Equity...  https://jeffandersonmath.wordpress.com/2021/12/10/grade-for-equity-as-a-college-math-instructor-round-2/ Educators whether that be the humans in the Financial Aid / Scholarship Department or the professors of your courses are performing weekly miracles and delivering exceptional service just to stay sane... while doing the best they can given what they know, how they were treated, and why they are here.   Always actively and consciously, be curious, kind, empathetic, and thoughtful when engaging with others. This is a learned skill that you have the opportunity to develop in every interaction with another human. This is in essence what keeps humanity moving forward rather than backward.   Affirmation: Personnel is Policy, we are the system - recognize we are the institution, we are the knowledge holders. Say "I am an institution, I'm a school, I'm a library" not with hubris, but with humility... b/c we know that 1st generation, Black Indigenous Students of Color, hold schools & libraries within them. Each of you have the ability to empower the people the people in your lives, we believe in you!   I hope this chat inspires you to read the hyperlinks in the description and inspires you to do your own research about the scholarship journey. Doing well in your classes and reflecting on how those classes will matter in your near / far future is a beautiful act of scholarship.

The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it will be. May we remember to extend our family friends, mentor mentees, and even adversaries, Grace.

Jennifer's youtube description pasted here:

This is a special one for me. This was one of the first songs my Grandmother taught me to sing. We lost her in the November of 2015 and I regularly wonder if she would have been proud of me and the music I now make. As you probably know by now music is a very emotional thing for me and so when I recorded this one I tried to picture myself singing this for my Grandmother, and that she was right there beaming with pride. ✨  Join my Patreon community for Zoom hangouts and exclusive updates: https://www.patreon.com/jenniferowens Stream/download my covers and originals on Spotify/Apple/Amazon etc. with this link: https://smarturl.it/JOMusic Instagram: @jenniferowensmusic Tik Tok: @jenniferowens_ Facebook: @jenniferowensmusic

Educators and Students, remember you are not a One Man Band.

In preparation for leading the learning STEM segment of the TechCore Summer institute 2021 at FH, for our first gathering, I will play a sample of this song to remind us to harmonize together. I will not and can not be a One Man Band. We have a lot to offer our families, communities, and the world when we engage in deep learning of stem, so let's learn in reflection, collaboration, and solidarity.
