In my experience as a student, and especially through the courses provided toward the end of this résumé, I found a deep and genuine interest in the liberal arts, especially in regard to education. I began to see that my best experience is when I am in collaborative, human-focused, impactful environments. Unlike the formal constraints of a typical corporate office, I enjoy working in spaces where I engage with and directly impact others. I am further encouraged to apply for this substitute teaching assistant position because it is a natural extension of those beliefs. I have long enjoyed working with children, and I see this substitute teaching position as not only a valuable experience but also an equally impactful step toward a career in education and lifelong learning.
