Summary

Hi, I am someone who loves learning new things. It exciting, its fun, and its rewarding. I love developing strategies to help engage myself with whatever the material is when it is hard for me to understand, and also I love creating new ideas to test my answers when i get it wrong. These can include redoing problems in a different way, trying to find videos, etc. I find things curious in my own ways, and always like to obtain an answer to it. I also love social interactions, talking with teachers, and friends, as I find it fascinating to learn things from mentors and colleagues that are more experienced and knowledgeable in their fields.
