My grandpa was a music teacher and one of my greatest influences. He said this all the time and he truly meant it. He was the most positive person I’ve ever met.

I’m least familiar with Asian culture but I am very interested in it. I started studying Korean a few months ago because I’ve always wanted to learn a new language.

A gender stereotype me and my oldest cousin often experience as the only girls is that we have to help with all the cooking and cleaning while the men in the family get to do whatever they want. We deal with this a lot during the holidays too. It’s frustrating to us both.

In high school I was very shy and quiet. I had a small group of friends and did my best just to blend in with the crowd. I was always friends with the outgoing and loud people, but it was what I needed to loosen up. I only really started coming out of my shell my senior year, and I made a lot more friends in my last year of high school.

My grandfather taught me how important it is to constantly be learning. He said you should always enjoy learning too. He taught me piano, along with so many other things. His passion for helping others learn is what inspired me to teach.

In middle school I had the best social studies teacher. He was so nice and patient. He genuinely cared about us as his students. When I graduated high school I got a senior letter from him, with my nickname on the envelope. I was so shocked because it had been years since I had seen him. I want to be that teacher that makes her students feel special. I want to write my students senior letters.
