Amy Strada ’14 is a 2014 recipient of a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. (Sarah Crosby\/Bates College)<\/p><\/div>\n

An English major at Bates,\u00a0Amy Strada ’14\u00a0of North Salem, N.Y., received a 2014 Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship for the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

As director of operations for the Bates debate team, Strada made it her mission to make first-year students feel like welcome contributors to the group effort. “Ensuring cohesion and a good team dynamic” was imperative, Strada says\u00a0\u2014 “much in the way that I bridged my Czech background with my American one.<\/p>\n

“I simply wanted to merge two groups of people into one.”<\/p>\n

Strada explains, “I’ve come to learn that leading calls for a harmonious balance of softness and strength. This equilibrium is something I truly value in teaching, and it is something I will continue to apply to my role as a teacher.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, her assistantship in the Czech Republic will \u201callow me to open up a dialogue with my community about local politics and issues that would be otherwise unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strada expects to take her knowledge of cultural exchange and teaching to her next position, be it working as a journalist or teaching English as the college level.<\/p>\n
