Drumroll
please…the spotlight of the week goes to Kristen Scott. She is a first-year
student here at Coe with some awesome and ambitious goals. Kristen is majoring
in Elementary Education, but she is doing much more than that. She is also
pursuing a K-8 Social Studies endorsement as well as a minor in Sociology. However
these goals alone, while impressive, are not what make Kristen such an awesome
person. It is the things she plans to do with her education that makes her admirable.
Kristen has the “eventual goal to have [her] own nonprofit boarding school in
South Sudan”. Wow! How amazing is that? It almost makes me feel like a bad
person because I only want to teach here in America, while she wants to reach
out to those without any schools at all. That is amazing! But until she
ventures to Sudan, she is here at Coe and having a blast. She is a regular with
Tuesday Tea and enjoys everything about “every single Sunday night meal” hosted
by the Coe Writing Center. (In case you have yet to attend either a Tuesday Tea
or Sunday night meal, you should make a point to come. They will start back up
in January, so you have time to arrange your schedule accordingly.) As for
Kristen, she continues to be a part of Coe while her ambitions continue to
reach far beyond; that is was makes Kristen the great person that she has
become and the staff spotlight this week.
