Welcome Post

Hi!

I'm a 20 year old student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I'm studying math and secondary education. I'm from the suburbs of Chicago, where I have lived since I was 2 years old. I have always loved my math teachers and my math classes, which led me to begin the process of becoming a math teacher myself. One idea I have about the future is teaching for a few years, and then going back to get my master's in educational administration.

Right now, I am beginning the process of leading a team of 6 in cooking for 65 people for a weekend in October. We are already meeting a couple times a week, and we will continue to pick up the pace; I predict that I will eventually be spending 15 hours a week working on this. But that word "work" is misleading, because I love doing this! Not only is it great to do volunteer work, but I have met some awesome people on my team and I'm so excited to continue getting to know them. In any leftover time I have after this team and school, I love talking to my friends and going ice skating.
