“Being a teacher, especially being a teacher in the school I attended as a child, and being a student in this classroom 15 years ago allows me to see not only my perspective as a teacher but put myself into their shoes,” Unger-Fink said. “So what I get out of teaching is building the relationships with the students and incorporating their own passions into the content that we teach.”

“Maybe I’m a role model for them but you know, I look up to them, how they’re able to overcome challenges and still come in and do their best, like no matter what’s going on at home,” Holligan said.
