    About Me
    I started my teaching career with Harvard University's Worldteach in the Federation States of Micronesia in the Pacific. I was there to teach English, but found myself filling out FAFSA and Pell Grant Applications with my students for applications to University of Guam and University of Hawaii. After returning to the US I began teaching high school philosophy and college counseling at a small prep school in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

    The best to handle a waitlist or deferral is to consider it a maybe. You have to let them know you are still interested. Following up with a school with new awards, new accomplishments, or a new grades can be really helpful.
