“I have always wanted to be a teacher like my mom. As I progressed in school, my passion for math grew, and I decided I wanted to share that passion with others and help lessen the stigma that math is too difficult. I knew I wanted to be a math teacher when I fell in love with the glimmer of pride I see in students when a difficult topic suddenly clicks, or when they get a good grade on an exam after studying so hard. The exhilaration in knowing I had a hand in that sense of accomplishment students feel in themselves is unmatched.”
