My parents have granted me an excellent opportunity by sending me to a school such as Fairmont. I feel it would be irresponsible to not spread this knowledge to as many people as possible. Tutoring is the perfect outlet. I've worked with many homeless children to provide them with better lives, and I hope to carry out the same mission here.

 I believe every student can succeed, and sometimes they just need a boost in the right direction. I myself have struggled with some academics in the past, and as I have learned and grown, I feel a sense of duty to help students better their learning skills. If I’m able to help even one student better their education, it would have been worth it.
