Teaching moments

Spent the afternoon reorganizing my anatomy flashcards and something clicked.

Teaching moments

I’ve been helping classmates with study sessions for months now, but it’s been totally informal - someone asks a question in the library, I explain muscle origins and insertions, they suddenly understand the concept they’ve been struggling with for weeks.

The thing is, I actually love those moments. There’s something about breaking down complex concepts until they make sense that just works for me. And apparently I’m decent at it, because people keep asking. Sarah mentioned yesterday that she wished she could have me explain every chapter before our exams.

Color-coded system in full effect.

Looking at my color-coded system spread across the coffee table, I’m wondering if I should make this more official. Not like a business or anything, just… structured? Maybe set aside specific times each week for group study sessions instead of doing it randomly. I could even create study guides for the harder chapters.

Jake thinks I should go for it. Says I light up when I talk about helping people understand things they thought were impossible. Maybe he’s onto something.
