for me by our board, I immediately began to shrink in size. Whatever confidence and encouragement that I had gotten from others and myself, that was all gone now. My pupils dilated, while my legs were vibrating and my arms were shaking, these were things that I did not notice, for I was buried under a mountain of anxiety and fear of losing. When the match started, I started to rebuild my confidence, playing with what I knew and making sure not to give up many pieces. Chess is a game where you…

In high school I was very active in student council, Murray County Leadership, and honors and AP classes. I have gone to a few Board of Education meetings before. However, going in with the eyes of a future teacher and educated on issues that are plaguing the American education system, was very thought-provoking.
