...students, to be soaked up by their sponge-like brains. I came to understand that teaching is far more complex, demanding, and rewarding than I ever imagined. Like teaching in a classroom, tutoring involves more than academic content. Tutors must instruct and reinforce skills that equip students for lifelong learning and success. Tutoring is really about meeting a child where she or he is and guiding them to where they need to be for optimal learning....

...would spend hours upon hours running from exhibit to exhibit and playing at each interactive station. It is this very same curiosity which I hope to instill in my peers. Trust me, I know that learning about integrals, doing titrations, or reading "Moby Dick" isn't always going to be fun. But there is something innately and remarkably satisfying about LEARNING. It's the same sense of accomplishment and joy that you get when you drop a...
