Hi! My name is Rachel Mendoza. I'm a Junior majoring in Middle School Education. I have a true passion for kids and helping them excel. I would love the opportunity to work with Odyssey because just like teaching, writing is another huge passion of mine, one that I don't always get to express. Growing up with sisters, working at daycares, teaching religion and babysitting allowed me to express my love for kids, writing however hasn't given me as many outlets to express myself. Writing gives me a purpose in my life and the ability to relate to people through my words.
