...and help students in my residential hall who needed help on their homework or help studying for tests. In addition, I was a part of the school's PROMISE program that helped to foster interest in math and science among underprivileged and economically disadvantaged middle school students.

...and on weekends I love to go for bike rides or long runs, see local theater and music performances, and explore the city of Chicago. Through my studies and bike rides and runs, I enjoy working hard and building personalized, step-by-step plans for pursuing the goals I set.

Years later, I discovered my passion for teaching while I worked as a teaching assistant at a non-profit organization named High Jump Chicago which provides academic opportunities to poor and minority children in the city of Chicago.

I believe students have trouble learning material when they haven't had the opportunity to connect it to their lives personally. I focus on enabling students to develop effective study habits and working out problems on their own, with guidance as necessary.

...habits, and it's amazing how simple and rewarding it is to approach one's studies in the right way. For my part, I like to keep things light but productive; I find that students learn the best when they're having fun and when their studies highlight the aspects of the work that they're interested in. Myriad studies have correlated interest and academic performance, but just anecdotally it's important to approach school in a way that builds...

...been two years ahead in my math classes. Whenever I tutor students, I show all of my work to get to the answer and I give reasoning for all of my steps. I try to over-explain my steps so that it is easy for the student to understand, so they can hopefully do the next problem by themselves. Eventually, the student will finally master the skill. Outside of schoolwork, I enjoy running, playing music, and...

...to leadership will be an asset to your school. I started my freshman year of high school like many do: sitting in a CADD class. Some find it boring, but I was amazed at how something could be so regimented, yet creative. Using CADD programs teaches me to think outside of the box and bring imagination to my designs. To test my skills, I became part of the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO),...
