English teacher Angela Frye (center) smiles for a picture as she gets her wings for the Trans World Airlines. Frye worked as a flight attendant before going back to school to become a teacher. “Nobody in my family, at the time, had gone to college. I was the only person in my family that had an undergraduate, and I'm the only one that has a doctorate. Growing up poor, my dad was like, ‘You're gonna have to find a job that you really like because you’re going to work the rest of your life,’” Frye said.

With four desks pushed together, English teacher Angela Frye has created a virtual teaching setup in her classroom. Frye found technology difficult, but her English department coworkers were ready and willing to help. “I teach from school, [and] it makes me feel better to teach in my classroom. It helps me be around all of my supplies, [where] I can put everything out on the table and say, ‘OK, how can I make all the work that we do in class [in person], virtual?’ So if you look at my classroom right now, four whole desks are spread out with one whole unit,” Frye said. “Everybody is struggling and helping each other out.”
