About me:

            Hello, my name is Lars Margolis and I am postbac here at Bryn Mawr. I am originally from Brookline, MA (outside of Boston) . I am taking this class because I want to be a doctor, and for the rest of my life I also hope to be an educator and be educated.  This class should give me perspective on both sides of the education aisle through a multi-faceted approach. 

            For the most part, up until college, I preferred education outside of the classroom, mainly though athletics. In college, I began to value classroom learning much more and I may have even lost track of learning outside of the classroom in some ways, at some points. I hope to continue to learn to balance my education so that I can be more rounded, and more adept at relating to and understanding others.

            After graduating from Hamilton in 2009, I moved to Portland, OR and I learned a whole lot. I spent part of the year playing rugby for the Finnish National Rugby Team, I worked on my Spanish, I learned to cook (a little bit), I read many books, I biked, I coached HS rugby, and I did volunteer work in hospitals and clinics. I feel that these experiences have helped me to be prepared to return to school. 

And in a little more than a nutshell, that’s me
