an interview by staff writer Jo Jungerman
Hometown: Graham, WA
Reasons for joining AmeriCorps:
I didn’t have a chance to do much community service in college because I was focused on my studies at Walla Walla University. I decided I wanted to be less selfish after college and focus less on school.
What is a typical day at your site?
I pick up two kids from the special ed bus. Then I have groups of Kindergarteners and 1st graders for direct instruction. Then math facts with fourth graders as well as in-class support. After school, I have a homework club where I tutor reading and math, We do this using a reward system, which keeps the kids motivated. On Fridays, we let the kids have free time.
If you had a super-power what would it be?
Time travel, for sure. It would be nice to be able to travel back in time but be invisible, to observe historical events just to see what really happened.
What is one thing you really want to do at some point in your life?
Become great at writing and publish something: essays, poems, or creative non-fiction.
