coaches cried, even the trainers cried. Our quarterback does an interview, answering questions while choking back his tears. Some kids went straight back to the locker room. I stayed on the field for another 15 minutes. I watched the other team celebrate, and I knew that should’ve been us. I tried to take it all in one last time. The smell of the grass, the turf burns on my arms that have turned to scars. I walked into the locker room and looked around. Took in the sight of this small room,…

I asked Emily if she felt she was intellectually curious and was pleased that her response included providing an example of a discussion that she was part of, outside of a classroom format (where in-depth verbal analysis might otherwise be a requirement for a high course grade). Emily seemed self-motivated to engage in the exchange of ideas both inside and outside of the classroom.
