...it. It frustrated me to the point where I would give up on a problem without trying. Fortunately, I had a teacher in college who was able to identify where I was struggling, and she (patiently) worked with me to break down problems and build to progressively more complicated ones. By my sophomore year, I was able to take (and do well in!) calculus, a subject I never thought I would be able to tackle....

...to ecosystems. My teaching philosophy for science is to always try your best and that is all I can ask for. Education is the key to success.

...Longview Community College since January 2011. It has always been a principle of mine that any scientific concept, fact, or theory should be explainable in everyday language, and be understood by someone with no scientific training. If an instructor can explain a complex principle or theory in simple language, that instructor thoroughly understands what they are teaching. I start with this, and introduce terms and jargon later. It brings great satisfaction, and enjoyment to explain...

I firmly believe in the value of active participation and learning through mistakes, echoing the sentiment of Weston H. Agor: 'Making mistakes simply means you are learning faster.'

Before medical school I lived in Nicaragua for several years where I became fluent in Spanish.
