"Teaching is more than imparting knowledge; it is inspiring change. Learning is more than absorbing facts; it is acquiring understanding."—William Arthur Ward

I am very young, but I already volunteer whenever I am able and babysit whenever I have free time. I am active in many different groups at church, where I lead camps and small groups, among other activities. One of my favorite activities each year is helping Educators Rising, a club at my high school, put on a prom at the nursing home. College is expensive but necessary to live my dream of becoming a teacher. Teachers are underpaid and undervalued in the country, so I want to graduate college with as little debt as possible.
