Several of our young alums shared their summer endeavors with current families in a publication we call Welcome Home. Here is the final one in a series of three. Enjoy!
Dear MPA,
I am a rising third year statistics major and varsity swimmer at the University of Chicago, and I am spending my summer in New York City teaching literature with Breakthrough New York. My students are low-income, high-potential kids who love to learn almost as much as I love to teach, and they are taking these classes in an attempt to be first-generation college students. Being in Tutor’s Guild at MPA and having the opportunity to learn from faculty members like Mr. Meacock prepared me to discuss books and literature in worthwhile and meaningful ways with my young students.
Go Panthers!
