Sydney LewisApplication for Chegg Representative to Guatemala

I’m really into education

I grew up playing

school with my siblings.

When I was older, I attended the University of Texas

and majored in UTeach English,

which has been widely recognized as a model for teacher preparation.

After graduating, I was awarded the

Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers

and spent six days studying historical and pedagogical issues related to the Holocaust and

genocide. (Holocaust Museum Houston)

In 2011, I began

teaching English/ESL in Houston

ISD(this was my classroom)

Houston ISD is the largest school

district in Texas

30% of students are limited English

proficient

disadvantaged

It was not easy,

but the kids were great.

I also volunteered at Literacy Advance, where I taught adult ESL

classes two nights per week.

After two years, I was frustrated with the state

of education

and wanted to develop skills that would one day allow me to have greater

impact.

So, I moved to San Francisco and was hired at Chegg.

My job as a Community Advocate

allows me to interact with students all over the world.

I also volunteer as a tutor at

Community Housing Partnership,

whose mission is to help homeless people secure

housing and become self-sufficient.

Finally, I stay informed of trends in education by

creating teacher resources at Shmoop.

I want to go to Guatemala with Chegg & Pencils of Promise

so that I can learn more about education in

developing countries.

After all, I believe that the Pencils of Promise

kids of today

are the Chegg students of the future.

So, if you bring me to Guatemala, you’ll also be

bringing:

Passion for education.

preparation.
