Throughout the year I had great pleasure working with Anders. I also enjoyed finding new ways to motivate him into working and make him smile.

Although I hadn’t yet become comfortable writing about my past during the first few quarters of school, I enjoyed writing for academic growth. I enjoyed analyzing and debating the issues, reflecting on books we had read, or just journaling my thoughts about the day. It wasn’t until my second year at Evergreen that I was able to revisit some of my past experiences and childhood memories by writing a required memoir for one of my classes.

At times people may have problems beyond what I can help them with through my job or even beyond them, which I like to encourage them to think positive or look through for options.
