I am senior math major at Haverford College. My desire to major in math and
eventually teach math actually stems from a growing "hatred" of the subject after
elementary school and throughout high school. After elementary school, math became
so robotic, abstract, and simply uninteresting to me. Keeping this in mind, it is my
desire to regain and reignite my love of math and share it with students. I want to
teach math in a more creative and hands-on way. While, like Ameneh stated, students
have different strengths and interests that in this case my not include math, I at
least want math to be exciting for students, something more than memorization and
regurgitation. I think that one of the most effective ways in me figuring out how to
do this is through observation and eventually construction.
