In my younger years, I always loved observing and exploring the people and places around me, and I have grown up to become someone who is motivated and deeply passionate about making the world a happier and healthier place to live. Growing up near the beach provided the perfect environment for me to connect with nature. Understanding the need to recycle, reduce, and reuse has been part of my lifestyle for longer than I can remember. However, being a part of this greatly important mission to make the world a better place isn’t only about the three R’s. I believe an equally significant piece of the puzzle is that we must encourage today’s youth to strive to reach their highest individual potential.

As a private tutor, I am able to facilitate, guide, and monitor children’s growth on a daily basis. Throughout my educational career, I had my share of a variety of teachers, ranging on a spectrum from those who truly cared about their jobs to those with questionable inspiration. Although I may not have realized it at the time, I always managed to grow in some way from my experiences with each of these teachers. I am able to now reflect upon my past educational experiences and make sure to sincerely invest in all of my students' endeavors. It is often through their curiosity and perseverance that I find my everlasting energy to teach, every child, any subject. I cannot imagine a more remarkable career path for myself than the one I have chosen.

As a credentialed teacher, I hope to one day secure a full-time job at a school where I can surround myself with likeminded colleagues who share a passion for lifelong learning, as well as upholding character traits of superb role models. My dedication and unwavering upbeat attitude will help the students in my classroom learn to collaborate and think critically to solve different types of problems. When children are engaged by teachers in a challenging, yet patient manner, I believe that limitless potential exists for everyone involved. Providing children with the proper tools with which they can navigate their own development and become self-reflective is essential to fostering in them a ubiquitous sympathetic and respectful attitude. To impact young lives while achieving these goals would offer the utmost gratification for my life, and I feel would influence our world for generations to come.
