PS topic question
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 8:48 pm
I would like to run my PS topic by many of you to see if it is a good idea. I basically don't want to come off as being some savior or sounding too cliche, but I also want to write something that is honest and well, a personal statement.
Basically, I have tutored for different companies since about my freshman year in college. I tutored for various companies and about a year ago, the last company that I was tutoring for, I was making $76.60/hr. I tutored for standardized tests, as well as for NYS exams (i.e Regents, ELA and some other stuff) I came up with the idea around December/January of this year to start my own tutoring company with my cousin. She lives in Atlanta and I am located in NYC. I wanted to do this because I was realizing that the companies that I was working for were indirectly excluding many children whose parents could not afford the services. The company that we put together was a way to provide low cost to free tutoring services to underprivileged kids in the New York City area. I bought much of the books and stuff on my own and started everything from scratch with my cousin. I am also certified in NYS to tutor and all that stuff.
Would this be a good PS topic? Talking about the tutoring company or how I decided to even start that up? Any input would be appreciated. Also, if you think I should take this a different route, I would appreciate that as well.
Thanks !
