These words by Albert Einstein have guided my journey through my years of schooling: "I am neither clever not especially gifted. I am only very, very curious." To first wonder about the world around you gives way to the pursuit of knowledge and to be able to understand it becomes a blessing not a burden. I've been able to join others in growing their knowledge by being a part of my school's mentor program that included helping freshman with their schooling. I also was a teacher's assistant for biology this past year.
