Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
-Nelson Mandela
My Original Teach For America Application:
In this short personal statement, I discussed three main reasons why I wanted to join TFA. First, I believe access to education is a human right. Next, I have an abundant love for science that I want to share and empower women and POC to be able to see themselves in the science field. Finally, I believe dedicated people should spearhead community change. I'm incredibly excited and honored to be able to advocate for underrepresented voices while sharing something I love. |

While teaching high school students, I will also be continuing my own education through Johns Hopkins University in a program specifically targeted at Teach For America Corp Members. This program will help me analyze and reflect on my practice in a way that will make me become a more effective educator while also learning about the needs of a child and of a community. Below is my JHU application survey. |
