Before City of Lakes, I was a student at Minneapolis Community and Technical College and Metro State University. Why did you decide to serve with CoL? My daughter was helped by AmeriCorps (MathCorps) members at her school. It changed the way my daughter thought about herself as a student. I wanted to be a part of the process of helping students see their academic abilities in a more positive light. What is something staff at your site should know about you? Staff should know that I enjoy being in their classes. I have never lost my love for learning, and I increase my knowledge every day by being present in Language Arts, Global Studies, and English Language Development Classes. It's just one of the many perks of being a City of Lakes AmeriCorps member! I get to learn and help middle schoolers, and I think that's fantastic.
