Hi everyone! My name is Jorge Villasenor , I am 18 years old and I am studying along side you to become a teacher just like my amazing parents. I am choosing to become a teacher in my old elementary school and I will teach 1-5, whatever they give me, I’ve always had many fun experiences at school and my favorites would be when the teacher is very fun and cool. I would really love to be that awesome teacher in a students life that makes them want to come to school and motivate them to succeed in their grades. Both of my parents have been teachers for as long as I can remember, I was not even born and they really enjoy working with kids so I don’t see why I shouldn’t try it. Every once in a while I always encounter really young family members and I have to look after them, I’ve done really good whenever those times came and I’ve kept them behaved and entertained. I’d really love to also be able to go on all those old field trips I haven’t been to in a while, I never really go anywhere much so it would be really nice, and then I love that they dress up during Halloween so I can join in with awesome costumes each year. I really hope these four years of studying pay off, I really want this job and I can’t wait to inspire an mold young minds.

Hello everyone! My name is Jade Ruby Mares. I am married and expecting my rainbow baby who is due in February 2023. I am a freshman majoring in elementary education. I started going to college last fall and took some classes over the spring. I am hoping to get my certificate for teacher aid and substitute to start working soon. Ever since I was a kid, I always mentioned to my dad that I would become a teacher one day and I am hoping to fulfill it to make him proud and to become the teacher I have always dreamed of being. I want to teach either 2nd grade or 3rd just like my mother-in-law. I love kids, I enjoy being with my nieces and nephew, and can't wait to be with a classroom full of children. Last year I was going through a rough time to the point where I was failing classes. I lost my first baby and my grandma during my first year of college, so I wasn't at my best. This year I'm trying to get back up so that I can help my husband and also my baby. I'm looking forward to a great year and can't wait to finish soon.

Good Afternoon! My name is Kaitlin Alaniz. I am 20 years old with a two year old daughter and a baby on the way. I expect to welcome my second child in early march of next year. I am currently a freshman and hope to get my degree in Elementary Education. Currently, I am a headstart teacher to migrant students and would like to be able to follow my children as they age and move through their grade levels. Working in early childhood has fueled a passion for teaching youth. It was at this job that I truly experienced the excitement students have to simply learn. This led me to solidifying my desire to become a kindergarten teacher. I believe the innocence found in these children allows for the best expansion and development of genuinely good adults. It is at this age that the direction of a child in a negative homelife can be changed. If I had to pick a subject matter in the event that I did not teach kindergarten, it would have to be English.

Hello everyone! My name is Joyce Elain Gonzalez, I am a freshman majoring Elementary Education hoping to teach kinder :). Ever since I was a little girl teaching has been so close to my heart. And growing older I realized teaching is something I really want to do in life. When I was a kinder student, I had a kinder teacher who was the sweetest kindest human being I had ever met. Her class was my safe place, even though I don't remember much from my elementary years I most definitely remember her classroom. And that's exactly what I want to do, I want to do, leave an impact on my kids exactly how she did. I want for my kids to look forward to coming to class and have a little escape from home and trust in me. And I want to be able to be part of shaping them into kindhearted little human beings as they grow up, but also smart ;), just like my kinder teacher did.

Hello! My name is Rachel Torres, I’m from Monterrey, MX and I’m 19 years old, I can say in a certain way already give classes with kinder kids to teenager because I’m youth leader in my church, my major is Secondary Education but specifically English as Second Language teacher, I graduated from High School 2 years ago, all my life I tried to make a life plan but everything changed when I decided to take one year for Biblical School and then move to Texas. Maybe years earlier I would have decided to study Graphic Design but the last year I enrolled in High School as ESL Student and I could see how nobody want to try to work with ESL students and some teachers just told us that “we didn’t belong here” so this is the principal reason why I would like to become ESL teacher besides could create a safe environment for International Students and give them confident for speak English without judgment and remind them that are able to continue their higher education because mostly the majority of ESL student came from other countries and they do not live with their parents or are people with limited resources hence this is my motivation to become an ESL Teacher. Finally, my favorite subject is English even when English is my second language, I like to learn new structures, grammar and I find easier to express myself in other language.

Hello, my name is Pamela Montemayor I'm 19 years old. I'm a freshman in college I took a year off from school after graduating from high school and here I am now. My major is early care and early childhood studies I would love to teach kindergarten or first grade. I have decided on being a teacher an elementary teacher because I consider you to start building up the kids and preparing them for the real world you give them that confidence they need. My elementary teacher Ms.Quiroga gave me the confidence to believe and myself and the strength that I could do anything in this world since I was an incoming ESL student and struggling with the language she would always give me that extra help and pushed me over my limits she has been one of the biggest inspirations on this choice that I have made. One of the biggest subjects I struggle with when I was little was math and over time it has become my favorite one I found it so fun answering all these problems I think the reason I found it so fun and easy to do is cause its basically repainting the same steps over and over again just in different ways.

Hi!
My name is Betzy Garza and I’m 19 years old and I just graduated from High School. I want to become an Elementary teacher, why?, because I want to be someone who kids can trust and can lean on, kids look forward to being someone they admire so I want to be a positive role model and kids have a pleasing childhood because is one of the most beautiful stages we went through. Also, I like the way they are happy when they are working on tasks and they solve them. When I was in high school I took the class Child Development and it is really interesting how kids are born and they develop their skills until they are adults. In high school, I took 4 classes at high school of becoming a teacher and we went to an elementary and we were assigned a mentee for helping them how improve their reading skills and I enjoy that class. I graduated with a sub certification and teacher’s aide. I’m looking forward to persuade one of my dreams!

Hello, my name is Maya Carrizalez, I'm 19 years old (turning 20 in a couple months), and I'm interested in teaching kindergarten. I want to become a teacher because I want to be able to encourage children so that they don't fear new things or don't feel enough fear to be dissuaded from attempting to do those new things. The subject matter that most interests me is math and art; math interests me because I find numbers logical in a way that's kind of comforting, I don't actually know how to describe it, just x+y=z, plug in the numbers into the equation, so on so forth. Art interests me because it's a fun creative outlet for people and has multiple different mediums, doesn't matter if your art has a meaning or not it must have still been fun to create or an outlet for your emotions and thought process, and art is open to interpretation in a way that I don't find too stressful or overwhelming.

Hi everyone, my name is Galilea Paz and I'm 18 years old. I'm from Roma, Tx and have two younger siblings. I decided to become a teacher because when I was five years old, I had this amazing teacher who was always there for me and made my learning experience in elementary the best of what I could have possibly ever imagined. She always made sure everyone in her class was on the same page and pushed us to always do our best. She never gave up on us and showed us that nothing is impossible and that everything can be accomplished if one simply works for it. With that being said, I would like to follow her steps and be a teacher that will inspire her students to keep thriving for success and discover their passion. She helped me discover the love I had and still have for algebra, and because of it, I now want to become a middle school algebra teacher. I remember one of her best sayings which was that if we ever find ourselves in a tough situation, to never give up because just like all math problems have a solution, all of our problems will have a solution to it too. Overall, I hope we all have a good semester and achieve our goals! Remember to always keep going and moving forward no matter what!

Hi class my name is Yaritza Gutierrez and I’m 20 years old. I’m looking forward to obtain my Associate of Arts in Teaching in the hopes of one day become a educator. I presently work from home with health insurance, which is great because it allows me to balance my social life and schoolwork at once, which is a huge stress reliever. I want to be a teacher because I enjoy learning new things constantly, and being a teacher allows you to constantly develop both intellectually and personally. My initial career path was in nursing, but after some time I changed to teaching. I wish to teach elementary school, but It wasn't until I began watching my sister's kids that I realized how much I aspired to be a teacher and becoming someone who others can look up to. I want to establish a secure environment where a child can wake up eager to learn new things in school. I would like to make a change and demonstrate to them other approaches to learning and knowledge development. Although I don't have a preferred subject to teach, I would like to work as a math instructor.

My name is Angelica I'm 19 and currently pursuing a degree in education. After choosing a career in nursing I realized how passionate I was to become a teacher. I’ve always wanted to become a guidance to the younger generations and be someone that they look up to. I’d like to teach Elementary and later move to Higher education. My favorite subject is math and I like to spend my time reading period pieces.

Hi, my name is Nadia Olivarez and I am a 24 year old from Cameron County. My husband and I have a 5 month old son together and are a military family, which is why I'm taking online courses this semester. I actually never saw myself or interested in pursuing an education degree until high school. What planted that seed is the special olympics. I volunteered to help my schools special education department during their Special Olympic events and I feel in love with the environment. I felt so happy at every event and enjoyed the company of not only the students but the families. It was a great experience and left an impact on me. I am pursuing a degree in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in special education. I want to be a teacher because I want to caused a positive in impact on our future children. I want to be that teacher who goes the extra miles to connect with their students and do whatever it takes to give them the right tools to life. I would like to experience teaching most grades before I decide what grade I prefer.

Hello my name is Cecilio Rodriguez, I am 19 years old. My dream is to become a History Teacher and teach the youth about the ancient past. History is set in stone and never changes no matter what. The amount of content is infinite, an endless sea of information about our past is what caught my eye during my time in high school. Space would also technically be considered history as the photos taken are from millions of years ago so, that adds another level of knowledge to absorb. The grade level does not matter much to me as all levels of history are equally interesting. I wish to teach history as it is important to learn the past, or you are doomed to repeat it.

Hello, my name is Angela Rodriguez. I am 22 years old and have a 2 yo baby girl. I want to become a teacher because I love kids and I had a great teacher in high school she was my algebra math teacher and she taught to well and got along with the students and made sure every student was on the same page and that no one fell behind. I’m pretty indecisive what grade I want to teach but I’d like to start off teaching elementary. I want to help these young students and inspire them to be great students and great adults because I believe the first couple of years of school really impacts the student to like or dislike school. That’s my personal opinion of course but that’s why I want to be a educator in the elementary environment. I would love to be a math teacher for elementary students.

Hello everyone, my name is Gabriela Garcia and I am 23 years old. I want to become a teacher because I had a teacher who I adored in high school and she made learning fun for me. She was so nice and funny and she told us a story on how she changed one of her previous student's career path. He didn't want to go to college, but she made him see how going to college would affect him for the better and so he decided to go and he came back the following year with the biggest smile on his face to tell her how well he was doing in college. I want to be able to do what she does and make students want to be better for themselves, I want to be an inspiration to others. I would like to teach English at the high school level because I have always been into English so, in my opinion, it will be easier for me to teach.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Alma A. Bautista, I am 20 years old and my major right now is interdisciplinary studies. I want to become an education but still am not sure what I want to teach. I want to do a focus in the arts, my main interest right now is Music and Graphic Design! I play the Violin and Guitar and am currently learning Piano, so I have a music background but also love doing anything with art, whether it be photography, painting, designing, etc. I like doing a little bit of everything, which is why I’m so indecisive. I want to become a High School educator.  Teenage years, transitioning to adulthood we’re those years where I’ve needed some guidance from adults and although I had a rough patch during those years, I want to take that experience and become the educator and model for my future students and let them know that they are not alone. I hope to help out these kids in any way possible when I become their teacher!
I currently work as a Barista at Starbucks and am aiming for a Trainer position there :)

Hello everyone, my name is Mari Campos. I am 42 years old. I have decided to return to school and complete my bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary studies K-12. I had the desire to do so along time ago but life, as we know it, happens. I am a single mother and raising my daughter has and continues to be my first priority. While she was young, I placed her in a daycare center where I too was able to work. Since then, interacting and caring for children came natural to me. After my daughter was of school age, I figured I could return to school and take a few courses. In 2015, I received my Associates in Applied Science in Early Childhood Education. I was able to work at the Child Development Center at University of Texas at Pan American for 4 years before realizing that I wanted to become an Elementary teacher. Since 2017, I have been working as a Dyslexia Aide-paraprofessional for McAllen ISD. This opportunity has assured me that education is the correct profession for me. Plus, I have been so blessed to work with so many professionals and administrators who have convinced me to pursue my degree. I am focused in becoming a teacher for the lower grade levels because laying a strong foundation, in my opinion, is key for students to become avid learners. Best of luck to everyone this semester!!!!

Hello! My name is Leilani Garcia, I'm 19 years old and currently am not working as I'm focusing on getting my associates in Arts of Education, snd then continue on to get my Bachelor degree in Education. I will be the first in my family to actually attend college. The reason I decided to be a teacher is because when I was younger, we used to migrate to Utah, while my mom worked in agriculture, me and my younger sister attended the migrant head start. One of my teachers was Ms. Jackie, she inspired in me a love for learning and she would often challenge me and push me. I remember her once telling my mom that I would need to be challenged all the time or I would get bored as she so often noted. I aspire to be like her, I want to be able to challenge my students and awaken their love of learning. I aspire to be a teacher that my students will remember for being the one that planted that seed of knowledge and hunger for learning just as I was always starving for knowledge. I plan on teaching hopefully kindergarteners because I really enjoy helping out kids as I was a part of this Big Brother, Big Sister program when I was in high school. The subject I really enjoy is History as some kids will be taught about Thanksgiving and Christopher Columbus in schools, I want to teach them how to appreciate the history of our land and how we got the traditions and/or holidays we have right now. I wish the best of luck to everyone this semester and their future endeavors.

Hello everyone. My name is Cristal Diaz. I just turned 23, I'm a mother to a toddler boy and a newborn baby girl. I graduated from Edcouch-Elsa back in 2017 and I attended STC right after but took a break in 2019 when I got pregnant with my son and then a pandemic happened. At first was majoring in Criminal Justice but changed it to Elementary Education for a more stable career for my kids. The reason why I would love to become a teacher is because being a teacher is a rewarding profession. You become a role model to students, a safe place for them to confine when they can't at home. I would want my classroom to be that safe place for kids, make it there home. I want to pursue my career in pre-k level up to 2nd grade the highest for now. Subject wise, I think history is my favorite but I'm also in between English or Reading. No matter the subject I teach, as long as I teach and can make an impact on kids.

Hello guys! My name is Stefi Perez, I'm 29 years old and I'm on my last two semesters left to finally graduate from STC. I had taken a long break from school many years ago since I wasn't sure what I wanted to do in life. After spending time with my little nephews and nieces and substituting at the elementary, I decided that teaching is what I would love to do and help out kids build a better future. The younger generation are the future and to be apart of that somehow, teaching them and helping them grow, would be an awesome achievement. I would love to teach any level at the elementary and would even be open to teach sixth grade in middle school. I feel motivated to finish school after all these years and I'm excited for the future and what it has in store for us in the teaching world. History is a lot of fun for me because it has so much information that has happened in the past, you will always find something new to learn about. Wishing everyone a great semester and a great future as a teacher one day!

Hi everyone, my name is Sarah Moreno. I am 30 years and a mom of 3. I currently changed my major to Education. When I first started college was back in 2010 and was studying nursing. I dropped out in 2012 when my first child was born and never made the effort in returning back to college. I got my first real job in 2014 at a local bank in the city that I am from and have been working there ever since. I work in the loan department, and I love what I do and recently returned back to college this past spring semester and changed my major to Business Administration. This summer got me thinking is banking something I want to do the rest of my life. I had always thought of becoming a teacher since I was a little girl but never made that incitive to take that first step. I feel becoming a teacher is the most rewarding career someone can ever have. Being able to open a child's mind to endless possibilities they can accomplish with the proper tool and education a teacher can offer. I wish all my fellow classmates a wonderful semester. We are future teachers in the making❤️

Hey y'all!  My name is Amy Rios. I'm 41 years old finally making it to college.  When I was a child one of careers I wanted to choose was teaching.  Well, life got in the way and I ended up taking a detour from continuing my education.  But here I am now and I'm finally making my way to a career I used to dream of as a kid.  I had a few great teachers in my life.  And that's what I want to be.  A great teacher.  I want  to help kids learn and achieve goals and show then creativity. I just want to be someone they will one day say made learning a great experience and that they will remember my class.  I would like to teach elementary, but I'm still not sure what grade.  It's funny because as a child science wasn't a subject I would say was one of my favorites. But now as an adult it just seems way more fascinating. So I think I want to teach kids how fun and interesting science really is. So, here's to a great start toward my future teaching career!

Hello everyone my name is Fatima G Aguirre and I am 22 years old. I am majoring in Elementary Education. To be honest I never really thought I would want to or have the patience to become a teacher, but that all changed when I started working. Since I have been out of High school I have worked at an Elementary and I work with 2nd and 3rd graders to this day. I really enjoy working with them and helping them learn subjects that they have a hard time with. The feeling of them actually learning and the fact that I am the one helping them makes me want to become a teacher to help other students as well. I would really like to teach 1st or 2nd grade because I am already accustomed to working with those grades, but I would not mind working with other grade levels. I am really interested in Math and Language Arts. I have always loved math.

Hello everyone! My name is Sofia De La Torre and I am majoring in Secondary Education. Growing up I never planned to become a teacher, but recently that has changed. The reason I want to become a teacher is because I want to have a positive impact on people like my teachers did when I was growing up. My 5th grade teacher especially, had a huge impact on my life as a kid. I would love to pass down my teacher's kind actions to my future students. I believe it is very important for teachers to be compassionate and understanding when in the teaching field. I would prefer to teach anywhere from 8th-12th grade since I wouldn't like teaching children in elementary personally. I am still undecided in what I would like to teach, but I am between either U.S history, art, algebra, or interior design and fashion. I wish everyone the best in their educational journey of becoming a teacher!

My name is Ashley and I am 21 years old. My original career goal consisted of becoming a forensic chemist. I worked hard to try to achieve my goal, however once you become an "adult" with a job and financial responsibilities it seems harder to reach your intended goal. I am currently a state employee and I work for health and human services. As you may imagine, working for the state is a very demanding job. Which is the reason I am taking online classes as well as changing career paths. I have always loved teaching someone something they didn’t know and motivating someone to want more in life. I decided to combine the two and pursue a career in education, which brings me to this class.  Every teacher you encounter plays a huge role in the person and knowledge you have today. I would personally like to teach high schoolers. The reason for this is because once you hit high school sometimes you become confused or overwhelmed with what career path you want to take. I would like to encourage and help pave the way for these young adults the way my teachers helped me. The subject I am looking forward to teaching one day is history!

Hi everyone, my name is Illiyah Cantu and I'm majoring in Secondary Education. Wanting to become a teacher was a recent change for me. But much like life. change is always a good thing. Being a kid and going to school was always fun. I was blessed with such amazing and nurturing teachers that it felt like a second home. For me, it's exactly that. Teaching. I want kids to enjoy their will of learning, but most importantly their childhood. To hold onto the dreams and crazy imaginations they create in their head. To become exactly what their hearts desire in that moment and hold onto it forever. It's what makes me want to teach elementary students whos mind are like sponges absorbing as much as they can take. As a big nerd, and a lover for anything dealing with history. I plan to teach it, but not see it so much as a job, but a passion. :)

Hello everyone, my name is Vivian Martinez. My goal is to become an elementary teacher preferably kindergarten. Hopefully, through time I get to move up at least one grade level. I have always admired kids so being able to be in a classroom full of students who will be MY students does really put a smile on my face. Ever since I was in elementary I have always mentioned how id want to be a teacher one day. Another reason behind me wanting to become a teacher would be the summer job my aunt gave me at her daycare. Working there she let me sub for one of her employees who would watch over 4 and 5-year-olds. So these students would be getting activities and lessons as if they were in school because the goal for these students was to prepare them for their next school year. One of the main courses that I would love to teach due to most of the hands-on activities that I can provide for the students would have to be math. Math is fun for the kids and me. So hopefully everything does go as planned for myself and all the other future teachers!!
