full of moxie and viscosity

working on my personal statement:


My experiences with teaching span several different kinds of educational settings. In addition to teaching an adult computer class, working at an Indian Education Center, assisting several teachers and professors, tutoring both professionally and informally, and volunteering in numerous elementary school classrooms, I have had the honor to grow up with innumerable teaching opportunities in my family. I have thirty-five first cousins. My family has the unique ability to perpetually create children, as the youngest of my mother’s generation is only two years older than the oldest child in my generation.

Ever since I can remember, there have been children younger than me in my environment. I have always been cognizant of the opportunities to gain respect and trust from those children. It was not until very recently that I was aware of the opportunities to educate them. When I say, “educate them,” I am not speaking of academic education. I have always been aware of my ability to assist my cousins and family in the way of academic tutelage.



ah, but I must let it rest for now... time for work... and DC sleeps alone tonight.
