Meet Our Members CoL Member Spotlight on… JJ Pira, serving 6th, 7th & 8th grade ESL students at Anthony Middle School Why did you decide to serve with CoL? I'm not entirely sure that I want to be a teacher, so I'm serving with CoL to find out if I want to be working in a school. What do you plan to do after your year of service with CoL? Travel! There are so many things to do and places to see. I'm just trying to experience as much of the world as I can. What has been the most difficult challenge of your service so far? I have an extremely irrational phobia of getting bullied by the kids. A lot of students are around my height or taller. I wasn’t expecting that! What is one thing you have learned through your service so far? My favorite part of the day is my lunch/prep time in my office because I get to eavesdrop on the students' conversations in the hallway.
