Splash Biography

AMELIA GLOGOWSKI, ESP Teacher

Major: Comparative Human Development

College/Employer: UChicago

Year of Graduation: 2012

Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a rising fourth year at the University of Chicago whose major is officially "comparative human development," (though I consider myself to be a psychology major with a focus in people and behavior rather than in neuroscience). I hope to go to graduate school next year to become a therapist.

For the past three years, I have taught high school students health classes as a member of Peer Health Exchange, a national non-profit. I look forward to being a leadership council member for the second time this upcoming year and to continue teaching in Chicago schools.

My class for Splash 2011 is on meditation: what meditation is, who does it and why, and how one can begin a meditation practice of one's own. I feel this is the most valuable information that I can offer Splash and the students who attend it.
