I'm an engineering student at Michigan State University, working on a minor in mathematics, going into my junior year. My favorite part of engineering is the math that is involved and applying that math. I know all levels of math through Calculus 4 and Linear Algebra.

Hello! Holá! こんにちは! My name is Angelina, and I am a first-year University student. I have 3 years of experience with Japanese, 6 years of learning Spanish culture and language, 14 years of experience with Art/Language studies, and schooled experience with Science, Algebra/Calculus, HTML-5, Scratch, Marketing and Biology. Throughout my years of Elementary and High school, I attempted to challenge myself by taking high-level courses to excel in applying for colleges. However, like many others, I struggled severely. STEM classes can be a harsh challenge, and even classes that should be enjoyable and fun like Band and Drama can become a struggle
