Why are you interested in teaching?
When I was in school I had several teachers that made a huge
impact on my life. They changed how I viewed the world as
they taught me to look at it in different ways. These wonderful
teachers helped shape who I am today, what I am doing with my
life now, and what I will do in the future. I hope that one day I
can be an influence to students, to help them to love learning,
and to see the power that comes with knowledge.

Tell us about your experience at the U.
The best part about attending the U is that everyone is so
willing to help. I have asked several professors and counselors
for advice and clarification, and every single time I have been
given more information and help than I expected. I am the first
person in my family to go to college and so this is an experience
that I was unprepared for.
