PERSONAL STATEMENT
I remember being a little girl who just got back a test sheet, where they gave you alphabets and you had to write a word that began with it. I stared at the sheet only to see a G for Gun being circled, and my teacher had corrected it to a G for Good. I didn’t realise it then but that G for Good made a world of difference. A few years later, I remember in grade four, when my teacher handed me my first novel, and my life changed forever. I got to live so many lives when people can’t live even one to the fullest. Almost three hundred and forty-one books later, not much has changed. I remember in grade 9 when my teacher told me to write, and suddenly I found my calling, a puzzle was complete. I remember in grade 11 when my teacher told me I couldn’t be a journalist because my life was not about chasing after a story that would shake the world, it was about touching lives and hearts and finding social justice by winning smaller battles. My life has so wonderfully been touched by my teachers who have taught me lessons that have gone so much further than the classroom.
Over the years, it has become evident that my way of giving back to society and the world is by attempting to be one of those teachers. The reason I am so committed to tutoring is because I love learning, and I hope that I can touch a few lives and make other people fall in love with learning, too.
