Since High School, I have found myself tutoring and teaching others, whether it be teaching sums, or serving in slums, tennis serves, or stonework curves (I started a business building brick and stone patios), engineering skills, or soccer drills. My natural gifts of science and mathematics could take me vocationally away from people, whom I value higher than numbers and technological gizmos. But navigation of the realities of making a living and leading a family have led me back to understanding that the gifts that are natural to me, whether techy and tacky or kicking and bricking, are there to be used with and for young people, allowing them to succeed in the adult world and be accepted by adults whom they respect. Relating these gifts to young people puts technological and mathematical understanding back into the place where my heart and the hopes of others meet.
