Fun Facts

I am currently the Assistant News Editor at my college's paper, and I plan to move up to Editor-in-Chief by my senior year. In just my first semester, I covered stories such as gender-neutral housing coming to campus, the unhappiness of vegetarians with their food options on campus, and the restriction of our football player's twitter accounts by the head coach. All three of these stories made it onto the cover of the paper.

About Me

I am currently a Freshman Mass Communications major at maryland/towson">towson-university">maryland/towson">Towson University. In my free time, I am the assistant news editor at The Towerlight, the paper on campus. During my high school career, I achieved many great things, including holding the office of Future Business Leaders of America president, and I recieved 4's and 5's on all six of the AP Tests that I took during my Junior and Senior years. I currently hold a 3.6 GPA at maryland/towson">Towson and made Dean's List during my first semester.

In the past, I have tutored an elementary school girl in math, and increased her grade in her math class from a C at the beginning of the year to an A by May. I also was a part of the FLOW mentoring program, which numerous students at my high school did. The program paired a high school students with an elementary school student, and once a week, I would travel to the elementary school to help my student complete his homework, and then afterward, I would play a sport with him or play a board game, which was the mentoring part of the program. Both of these experiences showed me how great being a maryland/maryland/baltimore">baltimore">tutor can be and how rewarding it can feel to make a difference in someone's life.

When maryland/maryland/baltimore">baltimore">tutoring, I believe that it is most important to find out why the student is not understand the concepts gone over in class, because many times it can just be that their teacher is not explaining it in a way that makes sense to them. I also believe that practice makes perfect, and I will be sure to quiz the student at the end of every session to make sure that they are understanding the subject better.
