I had to have these papers in the system by the end of the day. The stack was massive, and the clock was ticking. There were 64 students between both of my classes, and I had the bright idea of having each student provide feedback to at least five of their classmates' speeches. I sat at the worn wooden desk in my squeaky, black leather chair with quite a few holes in it, and prepared to grade a stack of papers for my speech students that rose well above my head. As I stepped out of the role of student and into the role of teacher, I brought with me the pedagogy and best practices, but no one had prepared me for what would be my first real challenge: grading. It was my first year teaching and I had three courses: Sophomore English, Public Speaking, and AP Language and Composition. One of my most memorable teaching moments, oddly enough, did not involve students, but rather quite a few of their papers. And like many teachers, I learned many lessons along the way that I could have never imagined. In particular, students in low income or underserved areas. Initially, I was drawn to the teaching profession because I wanted to help students.
