Students associated with the TRiO organization visited our class today to share their stories, read aloud to the children (they LOVED Queen Latifah's book Queen of the Scene), and then do an activity related to the lesson focus of self-confidence/self-esteem. Each student was encouraged to draw a picture of someone who believes in them, supports their dreams, and helps them stand tall. After the activity, each TRiO student shared his/her family story and talked about getting in to VCU and what college is like. Each TRiO student is the first member of his/her family to attend college, and each is majoring in something different: nursing, dentistry, business, and marketing communications. The children asked many questions about college and shared their dream jobs ranging from zoo keeper to bank owner to basketball player, and more.
