In a recent piece for Crux, the Boston Globe’s website on Catholicism, Rebecca Krier ’09 writes about her experience in teaching teenage girls.
“After four years in the classroom, I’ve learned that teenage girls love to talk about death. I can have a wonderfully planned and structured lesson prepared for my religious studies class, but as soon as the topic of death and the afterlife comes up, they are gone: The conversation is a rocket launched to outer space with too much velocity to recapture,” she writes.
Although she admits she cannot fully penetrate the "Great Mystery"of the teenage girl, she shares four things that Catholic teenage girls need and think.
At Holy Cross, Krier was a religious studies major with a philosophy minor and a member of the College Honors Program. She was also chosen as a Fenwick Scholar — the highest academic honor bestowed on a student at the College.
Krier is currently working on her master’s degree in educational research at the University of Cambridge.
