STUFF ABOUT ME:
I rock a bright yellow bomber jacket in Watts, California working for City Year Los Angeles. Everyday, I powerfully roll up to 112th Street Elementary School and engage in another day of trying to make a difference in the lives of my students.
A typical day includes:
-Tutoring 1st graders on how to read better and how to respond in a complete sentence.
-Tutoring 3rd graders on writing, reading comprehension, the intricacies of an excellent game of Checkers, and answering whatever question is brought up to me (I do a lot of talking about yetis).
-Planning events with my awesome team.
-Coordinating an after school program that involves homework help, impromptu step routines, extracurricular lessons (from b-boy dancing to cooking to sharks to the occasional stage combat workshop), snack, and a copious helping of chatting about life.
In other boots, I like to write plays, do theatre, read way too many books at once, doodle pictures of angels, and advocate for education reform and AIDS-related causes.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I'm not your mother's volunteer. I might be loud, crass, and crude, but I've got a heart of gold and I'm going to help make the change real. My spirits are high and I'm going to make sure all of my first graders can read on level by the end of the year.
