Hello, everyone! My name is Rachel Barry, and I am a junior at the University of Illinois. I am from Arlington Heights, IL and attended Rolling Meadows High School. I am studying to be a high school math teacher. I like to dance, run, hang out with my friends, play sports (volleyball, soccer, football, basically anything), listen to music and watch movies.
I am really excited about becoming a teacher. I chose math because it has usually come easy to me, and I think that math is a very important part of every day life. Whenever I tell someone my major, they always as "Why would you ever want to do that? I hate math." I think that if math teachers made learning more fun and approached it from multiple perspectives, high schoolers would better understand the material. I hope to change students' feelings towards math.
I have wanted to be a teacher since 2nd grade, though through all of my experiences, I don't know if I would ever pursue administration or becoming a professor. Only time will tell.
