A learning experience that has greatly contributed to my growth and success:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When I was in high school, I struggled to stay engaged in class.\u00a0I wasn\u2019t a weak student but I wasn\u2019t very interested in school either. School seemed like a place where there were rules, structures and routines that if you followed, you could graduate with very little bother. I didn\u2019t fuss nor did I stand out very much either. I was happy to be another student who \u201cteachers didn\u2019t worry about\u201d.<\/p>\n

When I was in grade 10, I began working at the Ontario Science Centre which has drastically impacted my perspective. I learned about educational programming and developing workshops to engage a diverse group of audiences. I learned about presenting and communicating science and how one idea could be presented in a countless number of ways with numerous perspectives. I worked with a phenomenal manager who taught me how to fail, how to learn and to embrace my natural curiousity. This manager always said to us, \u201cit\u2019s by trying hard things that we learn how tough we really are<\/em>\u201d. She taught about how science is more than just labs, academics and rules; she showed me how science was just a medium to prompt questioning, develop curiousity, and develop genuine relationships to help people learn, beyond the textbook. She planted the seed of one of my biggest passions now\u2014science communication.<\/p>\n
