SEED - Students for Environmental Education at Davis

I am a 3rd year at UC Davis studying Managerial Economics and Education. I got involved with SEED to gain hands on experience in an elementary school classroom because after college I hope to be an elementary school teacher. While teaching children about the environment, I hope to educate myself more on this topic as well.

I am currently a first year at UCD. I joined SEED to gain an educational opportunity to work with children. I am passionate about children and have a heart to help others. I’m still undeclared as to which major I might choose. But I am looking into Biological Science or Nutrition. Helping others along the lines gives me the outlook of what it takes to teach children and how well I can cope with them using my qualities and skills. It has been brought to my attention that this worthwhile experience can help me prepare for my future career.
