{"id":36565,"name":"jeevan mann","url":"","description":"Hi there! My name is Jeevan Mann and I am a Teacher Candidate from the University of British Columbia. \r\n\r\nAfter receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, I was unsure whether teaching was the right career path for me. I had volunteered and worked for after school programs with children for several years leading up to my time at Kwantlen, but I was aware that leading an after school program, focused mostly on play and integrating children from various walks of life into the school, was vastly different from the day to day educational and social responsibilities that come with teaching.  \r\n\r\nWhat ultimately was my deciding factor to apply for the teaching program was reflecting back on the positive changes the children underwent, from the time they entered the after school programs to the time they left. I appreciated having had the opportunity to work with children from various cultural, socio-economic and personal backgrounds.  \r\n\r\nI imagined how meaningful and rewarding these positive impacts could be in an educational setting, and realized that teaching is a great fit for me! I look forward to the rest of my journey as a Teacher Candidate and reaching my end goal of becoming a Teacher.\r\n\r\nDuring my free time, my interests include spending time with family and friends, cooking, and remaining physically active\u2013 especially practicing yoga and running.","link":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ubcpe\/author\/jeevan-mann\/","slug":"jeevan-mann","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b214d620e99512bf2c925ac636fcd0c80ff6c9c2925736c4657813c4e1530ee9?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b214d620e99512bf2c925ac636fcd0c80ff6c9c2925736c4657813c4e1530ee9?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b214d620e99512bf2c925ac636fcd0c80ff6c9c2925736c4657813c4e1530ee9?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ubcpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/ubcpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
