FAVORITE MEMORY FROM HIGH SCHOOL
I was so blessed to be able to volunteer as a teacher aid at Fair Park Early Developmental Center as part of Junior Service Learning. I have come to cherish the fun, joyful memories I made while playing with the wonderful preschool children there.
THE TEACHER WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
My honors and AP chemistry teacher, Dr. Hendrickson, made learning this subject very enjoyable through her effective instruction and her humor. She instilled in me a love for science and inspired me to put my best effort in my endeavors.
