Who am I? That’s a really good question. I’ve always been asked this same question over and over again in applications, interviews, etc., but to be honest, I’ve always had trouble describing who I am. People say that that’s what college is for, to find yourself, aside from being sleep deprived, running on pure caffeine, and getting a career. That’s beside the point; I am about to be 20 on the 31st of December, so that means that I technically have had about 15 years of “knowing myself”. To be honest, I don’t think that has been enough to say that I know who I am. I am still discovering new things each and every day.

My education is priceless to me which is why I am so grateful to my teachers for giving it to me. I admire them for this very reason, and aspire to be like them. Teachers have the power to turn someone’s life around. They can do this by just being an inspiring role model. They can make the classroom environment comfortable where students can feel safe. This can really open up doors to children who don’t have this opportunity at home. It can really change someone’s life for the good which is so rewarding. There is no better way to be a part of a society than by teaching a new generation of students and opening their minds to a whole new world. In addition, I’ve always had this interest in math, since I was very young. My dad played a big role in it because he would teach me math, and I think that’s where my passion for math sparked. Also, I’ve always been good at it, and I like how its straight to the point. I am not a genius that can solve any mathematical equation, but I do enjoy it. I want to add that I have a lifetime goal of pursuing my Ph.D. in Mathematics, and one day, I hope to become the University’s
