There is no stupid...

...graduating from college, I taught 10th grade math for a year in Newark, New Jersey. One of my favorite parts of being a teacher was working with students in a one-on-one setting.

As a soon-to-be doctor, one of the most important things I can do with my patients is to listen to them, their needs, and where they are coming from. This ability to listen is crucial also for tutoring and understanding a child's academic needs. In working with patients, I also regularly break down tough scientific concepts into every-day language that they can relate to. This...
