The Illinois Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers (ISAAPT) recently hosted their fall meeting over two days. The meeting was once again held virtually because of the pandemic, which offered the exciting opportunity for my seniors at Auburn High School to attend.

Everyone has a hero, someone they look up to and strive to become like them. ... My hero is Aliyah Garcia, a 6-year-old girl who just finished kindergarten in my class at Hillman Elementary School.
