Why I’m an Emcee
Being an Emcee at the AVID Summer Institute holds great significance for me because of the profound impact AVID has had on my own educational journey. It’s an opportunity to inspire and be inspired, contributing to the collective effort of improving educational outcomes for all students. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to stand beside our remarkable AVID student and educator speakers, as they share their stories of triumph and resilience, and help draw out the total story and discuss the connections to AVID, both in the elective and schoolwide.
