College is a lot like a camp, except for the studying. I am dedicated to learning as much as I can from as many places as I can. My philosophy brought me to Oklahoma, to reconnect with my dad. It has brought me to Alabama, so I could experience the mystery and allure of the South. When I was considering the medical field I went to West Virginia to spend a month at Patch Adam's site for his future "fun hospital".I believe:*You can be whatever you dream to be* Do unto others as you want them to do unto you* Education opens up doors for your lifeMy goal is to finish my Administrative Leadership degree online through Oklahoma University over the next two years. I also want to travel the world, exploring camps and colleges. When I graduate I want to become a high school business/leadership teacher by going through one of the many alternative certification programs. And as a part time gig I will try to do inventive fundraising through my recent start-up, Charity Market LLC.Specialties: I am patient, especially with kids. Challenging students to reach their potential gives me energy. It could be supporting a child doing a ropes course for the first time, or learning vocab with flash cards.I love learning how each student needs me. Some need a shoulder to cry on, and some need someone to challenge them. The more I become flexible and open, the faster students can make progress in their own struggles.
