Undergraduate / "to become an extraordinary teacher",common application-extracurricular activity [8]
please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities (150 words or fewer).
Here I was standing alone in front of a classroom with eighteen 4th grade students. I myself was just a senior in high school volunteering at the middle school. After several weeks of learning effective leadership, the words of a math lesson that I was instructed to teach seemed to flow out my mouth despite my shy mannerism. At the end of my lecture I took a deep breath, the palms of my hands were moist with sweat, as I looked at their eyes gazed at mine my fears suddenly faded. I had managed to maintain their attention for the entire lesson. It was at that particular moment that I suddenly realized how capable I was of becoming an extraordinary teacher who could aspire children and could lead them to a successful future.
Thanks!
Sheila
