I think I got a lot of practice just leading groups of people like bible studies, the swim team, or a senior design team and that really helped me learn how to lead a classroom. TAing and tutoring even. I\u2019ve had lot of opportunities to practice and I think that&#8217;s really cool.

Dr. Edwards and Dr. Harvey recommended this network I\u2019m teaching at right now. While I love engineering and physics (what I\u2019m teaching), I also love the classical teaching methods that I obtained from the Humanities classes. Dr. Edwards helped me combine my love for physics and my love for education.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest push would be because I think that I had teachers that were willing to push me to do things differently than I thought they were. In my humanities classes, I was challenged to think about things differently. I had teachers willing to tell me I was wrong and forced me to think of things differently. It wasn&#8217;t atmosphere where I could be willing to fail but be supported in my academics and I strive to continue that atmospheres in my classes now. I\u2019ll say stuff to my classes that professors said to me in my classes, which is cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Molly Gallant Class of 2017 Mechanical Engineering Major Campus Involvement: Treasurer ODK Orientation Board Co-Captain Swim Team All-Campus Sing Swim Team Bible Study Leader FCA Ta\/ Tutor Physics ICO Rhode Island Team Leader Senior Design Team Water Polo Where are you at now and what are you doing?
