Hobbies
I love to read and to play video games. I am a firm believer in intellectual inquiry and learning how to to learn for yourself. That's why I dedicate a substantial amount of time informing myself on current events, history, and philosophy - I am not content with received wisdom. I believe your student should not be content with received wisdom either. I believe that we everyone should be an independent thinker, and it is that exact quality I wish to engender in your child.
