Thank you for awarding me with the ASTEF grant for this Fall semester. Without your help, I don't think I would have been able to finish my degree this year. Starting on August 16, I will be in an elementary music classroom with an amazing mentor teacher. I'm so excited to student teach this semester and then graduate in December! I've wanted to be a teacher my entire life. Now that it's finally happening, I'm filled with gratitude for everyone who's supported me on my journey. Thank you again for this award, words cannot express my appreciation! - Elizabeth F.

Here is a picture of my classroom on my first day of professional development at Spring Hill ISD! I am loving student teaching so far and look forward to seeing my students and helping them learn. It is a lot of work but their joy and excitement makes every early morning and late night preparation worth it. Thank you to ASTEF for helping me make it this far!! - Charis
I started my field-based semester at TAMU-CC. Being able to get into a classroom today was so exciting. My certification is 7-12 mathematics and I really enjoyed my time at the high school. Thank you so much to DKG and the ASTEF Grant for helping me pursue my education and giving me one less thing to worry about! #ShakasUp for my first day of senior year! - Mariah
