Personal Bio
- Why did you choose to serve? I knew I wanted to take a year off before grad school and I wanted to stay in Walla Walla because I knew people here. I ran into JJ one night at a lecture and he convinced me to join AmeriCorps. I was attracted by the idea of being involved in a team of like-minded individuals I also like the idea of getting paid to do community service.
- What is a typical day at your site? A typical day at my site involves watching kids on the playground every morning before school starts and then teaching math for fifth and fourth graders for a few hours. Then I work with a small group of kids on reading fluency using the “Read Naturally” program on the computers. After lunch I watch kids on the playground again for 45 minutes. Then I help with language arts, then math again. After school I run an art class. I don’t really have a favorite or least favorite part of the day. Lately however it has been very COLD on the playground, but I do like just talking to the kids.
- Background: where are you from? Oakland, CA. I lived in the same house my entire life before starting college.
- Future plans: Go to grad school for public health, location unknown. I want to get my MPH with a concentration on community health.
- Fun question: if you had a superpower what would it be? Teleportation so I could go anywhere (for free).
- What is your SLP? An after-school art class. I am currently trying to figure out how to get donations of supplies.
