Personal Statement
When I was a student at Shrine, I was “the science kid”. I developed a strong love of learning about the natural world around me. As a summer camp counselor, I began to experience the joy that comes from sharing this love of science with students – I was quickly directed toward a career in teaching. Science provides students with a unique, complex view of the world around them. I enjoy helping m y students to see the beauty in the details; to ask why when they observe a natural phenomenon; to challenge themselves to think critically about a problem set before them. It’s wonderful to be back at Shrine, where I am supported by a tight - knit community and can learn about my students on an individual basis. The community of teaching and learning that is present at Shrine is truly one - of - a - kind.
