Experience
I was a peer tutor at Community College of Vermont for the last two semesters I attended and really enjoyed my time there. Being an English major there is something about knowledge that I find fascinating, for example where and from what medium we acquire the knowledge we hold, what we consider to be good knowledge, etc. But what is the most fascinating to me is watching others come upon that knowledge and knowing I helped in that journey. I am 23 and a junior, some of you might be wondering where and how I spent the time in between when I wasn't in school, and truth be told I was in school. As with many others I did not know what path my college career would take when I started and ended up changing my mind a few times; from anthropology to environmental management and protection, and finally to English, specifically writing and literature. In no way was changing my mind a set-back for me, even though I have prolonged the time it will take to receive my B.A., in fact it has been quite the opposite. I have been able to take a variety of classes filled with peers pursuing much different paths than I ended on only bringing a more interesting view to my education.

Hobbies
Reading has always been my favorite hobby, which makes me wonder why I had such a hard time deciding on a major. Since I can remember I always had a diary for my secret thoughts and colorful stories. Today, writing and reading would have to be hands down my favorite hobbies, but I have to share my time also with my love for the outdoors. As a proud owner of a Jeep I cruise around when I can, finding new swimming spots for my dog, or a new hiking trail, sometimes we even just take a new road and discover some place we have never been before. Although I have a strong passion for knowledge, writing, academics and literature, I have always had the soul of an adventurer (perhaps I can blame that on all the quests and adventures I've read about). Learning can be made interesting. There are no questions that cannot be answered, only resources that have yet to be found!
