In kindergarten, we had a week exploring careers and one career that stood out to me was a doctor of some sort. Although it was the skeleton that reeled me in, it was the first concrete idea that I wanted to help people for a living.

In 2nd grade, I had a 5th grader ask to do my homework while I was on the bus. Thinking she was helping me, I said yes and I turned it the next day. Not realizing this was cheating, I had to put my card from green to red. This devastated me and I don’t have any recollection of my teacher telling me the difference between help and cheating. This taught me that not every teaching practice works, no matter how long it’s been around and it can have flaws that impacts students later.

I had the same teacher 3rd and 4th grade and she was the first teacher to take me and my words seriously. She had a lot of faith in me and even encouraged me to skip 4th grade. Even though I didn’t, it showed me that teachers can support me.

5th grade was my most involved school year until high school. I was part of a program that helped younger students who maybe needed someone during lunch/recess/breakfast and I was also helping my homeroom teacher before class and in class when it came to using the computer. Both of these experiences taught me that I want to work with students and that I want to work in a school.

In 7th grade, I was offered to skip pre-algebra and since I passed the exam, I did. Taking algebra 1 was a bit of struggle and it was the first time a math class challenged me. It showed me the not everything I'm "good" at is easy.

In freshman year, I signed up to be on the bowling team as a joke with a couple of friends but my mom pushed me to stick with it. So, I did for 3 years. I got to know some of my peers better and I made a lot of memories!

Ms. Yepez was my 10th grade English teacher and she is the biggest reason I want to teach. She was a teacher that loved all her students. She had flaws of course but she acknowledged it and tried her best to not let it affect her class. She is kind, respectful and understanding and I want to bring all of that into my own classroom.

I'm going to elementary special education so not only do I want my classroom to be a safe space, I feel it needs to be a safe space for my students.

I want to talk about adversity and diversity in the classroom since it affects my students directly. I think it's important that all student understand and respect diversity in the classroom.
