Eli Vandersaul To All Instructors

How can I convey who I am in just a few paragraphs? How can I distill my life's essence into one bio? Thus, I must try, despite the impossibility of this challenge.

I am Eli, born and raised a homeschooler in the St. Louis area. I desire to please God in everything I do and just want to live my life in service of others.

On paper, I have had a perfect life. I am an extremely creative person and have been blessed to try so many experiences. But internally, both mentally and physically, I have struggled deeply, feeling the full range of difficult emotions. Because of the pain I have experienced as I tried to grow and mature, I feel especially passionate about helping kids figure out and navigate life.

I always struggled learning through books, lectures, and curriculum, so I have endeavored to create other environments of learning in my classes. This consists more of hands on, practicing, and role playing to help those like me really understand.

I am a very nuanced person, so I probably will not fit many generalizations. If you really want to get to know me, talk to me. I love talking with people and meeting new friends!
