I am from Woodstown, New
Jersey, home of the giant ceramic cow and the rodeo. Since
coming to the University of Delaware, I've been amazed by
the traffic lights, the crowds, and the beautiful elm trees.
I work my vacations as a nursing home Activities Assistant,
and I think the world would be a better place if everyone
had access to the wisdom of 90-year-olds. After graduation
my career will involve translation, editing, teaching,
simultaneous interpreting and/or social work. My fondest
dream right now is that the University of Delaware will let
my cat Pixie move into the dormitories.
Why do I tutor? Probably because other people have such
interesting ideas and experiences, and I love working
cooperatively to communicate those on paper. When I tutor,
students broaden my perspective and help remedy my total
ignorance in areas like football and how to drive a car. |
