Haverford Student quotes:
"I want to teach these particular kids because I'm from where they are now. I've got to show them what is possible."
"I love the kids and giving back to the community, because so many people did the same for me. I see an opportunity to help and to inspire."
"I want to give kids the chance to explore, to see for themselves how cool science can be!"
"I feel that both English and science are subjects that students don't always feel confident about, and I want to help them feel more confident about these subjects and themselves."
"I can relate to the students that have a hard time applying the lessons to their everyday life."
"I have experience with demanding professors and deadlines; I can give advice, encouragement, and I can demystify the craft of writing."
