\"Olen ollut koulutuksessa yli kolmekymment\u00e4 vuotta, ja minulla on ollut onni toivottaa tervetulleeksi ja tutustua kymmeniin ASSIST-apurahansaajiin osana kouluyhteis\u00f6j\u00e4. Kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 ASSIST-opiskelijat ovat olleet todella uskomattomia ihmisi\u00e4. Vaikka he ovat kaikki ainutlaatuisia yksil\u00f6it\u00e4, jotka tulevat eri maista, taustoista ja kulttuureista, yhteist\u00e4 heille on ik\u00e4ist\u00e4\u00e4n suurempi kypsyys ja halu tutustua aivan uuteen kouluyhteis\u00f6\u00f6n. Jokainen heist\u00e4 on rikastuttanut is\u00e4nt\u00e4perheiden, oppilaiden ja koko kouluyhteis\u00f6n el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4. Olen aina kiitollinen ASSISTista ja erityisesti juuri nyt siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 se muistuttaa meit\u00e4 yhteisist\u00e4 siteist\u00e4mme kouluyhteis\u00f6in\u00e4 ja ihmisin\u00e4 ymp\u00e4ri maailmaa. Maailmanlaajuinen ymm\u00e4rrys ja uteliaisuus tulevat olemaan entist\u00e4kin t\u00e4rke\u00e4mpi\u00e4 pandemian j\u00e4lkeen, ja ASSIST on varmasti tarjonnut meille kaikille t\u00e4rke\u00e4n sillan kohti ymm\u00e4rryst\u00e4. Olen vakuuttunut siit\u00e4, ett\u00e4 ASSISTin teht\u00e4v\u00e4 ja tutkijat auttavat meit\u00e4 jatkossakin tekem\u00e4\u00e4n maailmasta rauhanomaisemman.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":56534,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"story_type":[122],"class_list":["post-56483","story","type-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","story_type-school"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBessie Speers | ASSIST Scholars<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.assistscholars.org\/fi\/tarina\/bessie-speers\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fi_FI\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bessie Speers | ASSIST Scholars\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"“I have been in education for over thirty years and have been fortunate to welcome and get to know dozens of ASSIST scholars as part of school communities.
