| About Leah: |
I graduate with my B.S. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from M.I.T. next month (June 2008), but as much as I have loved learning about the brain, I like people too much to want to spend the next few years in a research lab. I love children, I love watching them grow and develop, and I love seeing them get excited when they learn something new. I also love technology, athletics and the Spanish language. I have traveled a lot, most recently to do development work in Honduras and before that to intern with the Secretary of Public Education in Mexico City. I don't know what the next few years will bring, but I do know that God has blessed me with a passion for service. Whatever I do, I want to feel like I'm helping people who need it, and who might otherwise be ignored. |
