When I first started my path at the University of Florida I was not yet
certain as to what I wanted to do with my life. So as
an incoming freshmen I decided to major in Engineering Science, which
would leave me
room to go into any engineering major I'd like to. I chose
engineering
because in high school, I was particularly skilled at doing calculus
and
physics, and I believed this would be were I could best prosper.
Later
on in my coursework, I settled on Civil Engineering because of the job
availability and an inkling for well designed bridges. During my
stay as a CE major, I began tutoring professionally on campus at the
Broward Math Lab. I realized then that teaching math is something
that I
really love to do.
It was also something that I believe could keep me satisfied for
many
years to come. So at this point I changed my major to Math and
added
a Secondary Education minor to my agenda. I was hoping to enter
the respected ProTeach program for my masters at the University of
Florida
after completing my undergraduate courses, but the Math ProTeach
program
was abruptly cut from the curriculum in the College of Education in the
fall
of my senior year. So following my graduation in August of 2003,
I spent a year working at an elementary school after-school-care
program where I was responsible for the second grade boys. After
a year of this, I returned to the University of Florida to get my
masters in mathematics. I recieved my masters degree in December
of 2003.
