Knowledge
My knowledge is an array of
experiences, tied up into my
personality and abilities. I
have taught at a science
summer camp, I have
encouraged growth in my
own learning (and
unlearning) with my activism,
and I have tutored. Plants
have become a synonym with
my knowledge and wisdom I
carry. Even as a young
person, though I am still
looking to explore the world,
I already have an extensive
history, an evolution, like a
simple flower.
Skills
Skills are fluid with creativity
of your mind and decision
making. I find that my skills
come through from my lived
experiences. The reason I
love plants so much is that it
represents my growth and
development as a person, and
the tools I have learned to
utilize to get through every
situation. Mountains
represent the obstacles in my
life, but I am a hiker, and
what hiker is not up for a
challenge? Hiking has grown
into an idealism for me,
something I want to climb
and keep on moving forward
for the reward.
Attitudes
The overall theme of my
sketch is the forever growth
that I will go through. Since
my success with battling my
depression, I have implored a
new worldview on myself
and my attitude towards life.
The Paeonia or common
name, Peony, represents
bravery, compassion, and
good fortune (I also have the
peony tattooed on my arm).
The hand also represents my
curiosity for life, to see what
is to come and what more I
have to learn. I am always
looking forward to growing
more as a human.

Summary:
Everything is connected, and that is what I have learned from elders, from biology, and from
myself. My attributes as a teacher will continue to support me in my journey as a human being
and the ability to help others.
