A comedic lesson in communications. This act certainly stands the test of time

What is there not to love about playing outdoors with your best friends? Be it baseball, basketball, football, or soccer, I will go out and give it my all. I was fortunate enough to play throughout my childhood on numerous teams. My favorite moment in my history with sports, however, was the fact that I was one of my brother's baseball coaches. The ability to help those younger than me in a sport that I've admired since I could throw a ball only enhanced my calling to help younger generations in any way I can

In case you have yet to notice, I love to read. It was a source of escaping from the world from a young age, and still is! What I love the most about books is that they can teach and be entertaining at the same time. My favorite series to read is The Lord of the Rings.

Teachers were not the only ones who impacted my life greatly. As a child of separated parents, my childhood consisted of custody battles, court cases, and being the messenger of spiteful messages between my parents. It was my personal lawyer that was finally able to get me to open up about my struggles; After years of keeping my mouth shut and going with the flow, despite the intensity of the current, I found the strength to speak up for myself, allowing me to share the pain that my family was causing me. It is this sense of courage, provided from a legal side, that I want to give to kids. Everyone's case is different, but I firmly believe that everyone (especially kids) deserves to be heard. That is why I plan to enroll into Law School (part time) while I teach, since I will have a strong sense of financial security, as well as being in a position to make a difference.

In order to help kids, I decided from a young age that I wanted to be a teacher. It was my love of A.P. World History that decided the subject of which I wanted to teach (World History), as well as my major (History). What truly inspired me to pursue a career in teaching, however, were the few teachers that impacted my life, for both the positive and the negative. I strive to be better than those that decided they had no time for me. I yearn to be similar to those that actively went out of their way to make me feel appreciated and cared about.

Along with the campers, I was introduced to many fascinating people from around the nation at Lake Tahoe. Their willingness to help others, and their desires to make a difference in this world, continues to push me to do all I can to help every soul that I come into contact with.

This last summer, I was fortunate enough to be a camp counselor for adults with special needs. Along with the joys of being in Lake Tahoe for a full week, I was able to learn from these incredible adults and their victories over their constant, daily struggles.

To assist those that are looked over has been my goal since I started middle school. It is my dream to help children that "drift" through the system, inspire them, and comfort them in knowing that people do care.
