Hello! I believe that everyone should have access to a quality education and that often times our education system does little to prepare students for the real-world, or devalues the material to the point where students ask why they are learning any of the subjects. I believe that a solid understanding of the basic of mathematics improves the quality of life one can experience, and having a solid understanding of the basic concepts makes higher level courses much easier. I have taught calculus courses as a STEM Peer Teacher at Cleveland State University and most problems students seem to have stems from a lack of understanding in the prerequisite material, even so far as having trouble with basic arithmetic. The teacher should have patience, the ability to show the student the value in learning the material, as well as the benefits of learning from their mistakes, which we all make.

I love my motorcycle, I am interested in woodworking and also want to try blacksmithing. When the weather turns colder I enjoy video games and playing pool.
