Hi Jason, I really enjoyed reading about your experience learning from a senior student in high school. The way in which this student taught you is amazing, I am one who learns better with hands-on experience so I can see why this was a great learning environment for you. Also including the fact that you were given an opportunity to work with a team to complete difficult tasks, this sounds like you had a great teacher. It’s amazing how an experience like this can have an everlasting effect on you and how you teach others yourself.

I also agree with the idea of using real-life examples being an essential factor in the learning experience. The story you wrote about is a great example as that experience changed the way you approached teaching others.
