An Experience I Wouldn’t Exchange For Anything

Rockers embrace different ideas, cultures, and philosophies, while also being transparent and approachable about what we ourselves are passionate about. I was eager to shed my graduation robe and reveal the traditional Ghanaian attire of the culture I so proudly represented on campus.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work in the education system in Rhode Island. Roger Williams Middle School may not be as well equipped as other schools, but I was able to convince students that the area they were born in does not determine where they will end up. I interacted with my students similarly to how professors at Simon’s Rock interacted with me: with humility and respect. In return, my students responded with a work ethic that rivaled my own. Now if only they can remember to add their negative signs!
