During February, the ETAs in East Java, Shannon Pinzon, Lindsay Smith, Gabe Umland, and Nate Kumar, were able to both lead their own and support each other’s local WORDS competitions.

Shannon had a great time visiting Gondanglegi and Cerme to judge and show her support for the hard work her fellow cohort members and their students put into their competitions. Seeing the enthusiasm of all the students showcasing their storytelling skills was very uplifting. It was truly heartwarming for her to see her friends interact with their students and incredibly meaningful to walk through the schools and communities where her peers had spent the past seven months. Shannon is very proud of the students at her school for being so diligent with their stories and also having fun in the process.

These moments in February made Shannon especially thrilled to see the rest of her cohort and their students in the National WORDS Competition in April.

Shannon Pinzón is currently teaching at SMA Laboratorium UM in Malang, East Java.
