Experience Summary
My name is Alex and I'm going to graduate from the University of Miami in 2018. I find that the classes that I excel in are the ones I am most interested in, and the classes that I find myself less interested in, I make more interesting. I believe there is no way to retain information that is taught unless there is a general wanting to learn. My main goal is to improve a student's mind by finding ways that they can fall in love with a particular subject. Personally, I love microbiology and immunology because I find it being a very relevant to the human body. Economics, on the other hand, is less applicable to my likes, but I found a way to love it. I love sports, so after doing some basic research on major economic markets in the sports industry, I found a way to relate to the subject and my grade in the class skyrocketed. Rather than forcing knowledge to a student, I find it much more effect to open the mind of the student and allow the information to flow in naturally, by the curiosity of the student.
