From my personal experiences in high school up to the Biomedical Engineering program, I have learned the variety of ways students learn and try my best to implement the most appropriate...

...of my spring semester of my sophomore year, I tutored at a low-income public school on the western side of Dallas.

...of learning in others. As beautifully put by Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca in his moral epistles: "[P]art of the joy in learning is that it puts me in a position to teach; nothing, however outstanding and however helpful, will ever give me any pleasure if the knowledge is to be for my benefit alone. If wisdom were offered me on the one condition that I should keep it shut away and not divulge it to...
