Welcome back to my UTA website! Can you believe it has been nearly five months since I created this page? I sure can't... I remember thinking my first semester as a UTA as a long, never ending journey, but here I am! My second and, most likely, final semester as a UTA is nearly finished. It is sad to think of things as wrapping up, but when I reflect on my journey, I feel nothing but joy. This has been one of the most rich and productive experiences. For those of you who are first learning about my UTA experience, you may not know that becoming a TA was a leap of faith for myself. I never thought of myself as a star student or someone who carries the ethos necessary to stand in front of a classroom and give instruction. Secretly, however, this had always been a dream of mine. I loved sitting down with my peers and swapping papers, sharing tips, solving their people's problems, etc. When Professor Pleydell invited me to participate in the UTA program, my opinions of myself changed. I found myself manifesting my dreams of being an academic guide to others. I hope you enjoy reading this continuation of my journey. Feel free to peruse through my updated library of lesson plans and reflections.
