My dream is to earn a degree in mathematics to eventually work in actuarial science, a discipline that...

...behavior while in Washington, where I worked with chimpanzees who spoke sign language, and I assisted with research on dolphins while in Turkey. I love animals, as evidenced by the above experience. Otters are my favorite animals, because they make hard work look fun. They need to groom and hunt constantly, but they swim around as though they are always having the best time in the world. I try to apply this otter-esque attitude to...

...individualize lesson plans to their specific needs, but it was gratifying to clearly see my student academically grow. My favorite subjects to tutor would be Math and Languages. I see Math as number puzzles. I believe almost every complex equation can be solved with a series of simple equations; the puzzle is figuring out what easy calculations are needed to solve a tricky problem. As for Languages, I enjoy the idea that there are a...
