My name is Brian Brunner.
I am in Academic Tutor for Saint Paul Public School's Indian Education
Program. I have lived in Minneapolis my whole life. I graduated from
South High School in 2006. I am enrolled in Leech Lake, MN.
This is my third year with Indian education, and as an academic tutor,
I will be mainly focused on tutoring math. My whole life, I have
enjoyed math and working with numbers. When I was in 7th grade at Anne
Sullivan Communication Center, in Minneapolis, I won a trophy for
having the highest score on my math olympiad team. I was also on
South's math team for 3 years, including two years as team captain. Our
team had two big achievements while I was captain. The first was when I
was a Junior. We got to attend Concordia University's annual math day
competition. This was a double-elimination tournament. Patrick Henry
High School beat us in an early round match, but we came back to beat
them twice in the championship match. However, the next year, we made
it to the championship match unbeaten including beating Math and
Science Academy to get there, but Math and Science Academy beat us
twice in the championship match, so we finished second. The other big
achievement was when I was a Senior. Our team won the Minneapolis city
conference, ending our streak of four straight second place finishes and
sending us to state for possibly the first time in school history.
My whole life, I have had parents, teachers, mentors, and elders tell
me that I have a gift and to make sure I do something with that gift.
Now I am only 21 years old, but I have found something that I am good
at and that I love doing. This is my way of giving back to the
community. "Children are the Future"
