My experiences in other cultures (traveling, living abroad, relationships with people from other cultures)

# data[].attributes.body
I have never lived abroad and only traveled via cruise and visited different islands for a short amount of time. So the only true experience in other cultures that I have is in the Muslim culture and Judaism. My best friend in high school was Muslim and before meeting her, I never knew much about the religion. Not only did I learn through high school about different cultures, but Niah taught me about her culture as well. In addition, I am Jewish. When I was younger, I attended a religious school a few days a week. Although I don't follow the culture too much myself, I am aware of it and what Jewish people do and follow! Throughout high school, we learned about all different cultures and how they are followed.

Ethnicity (my own and my experiences with others)

# data[].attributes.body
I am White. Growing up in the suburbs, there was not much of a diversity in the community or in my schools. Although, we were very close to Northeast Philadelphia, where I was born. A lot of my friends of different ethnicities (African-American and Hispanic), lived in the Northeast where I would spend much of my time out of school. Throughout high school, we learned about different ethnicities.

I grew up in the upper-middle class, although my parents were never the type to show off what we had. No matter how wealthy you are, I believe no one should be materialistic because nothing is better than living comfortably.

When I was 10, my Mom passed away from a rare form of M.S., called Devic's. My family got into a dispute, so my Mom and Dad's side of the family were always split. My Dad raised me on his own from the day she passed. I am currently raising my daughter on my own.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I had amazing learning opportunities provided to me throughout my life. I attended a top school, Lower Moreland, which is located in Montgomery County, PA. I was open to advance learning. When college began, it felt like a breeze, because everything I learned in Community College of Philadelphia were things that I have already learned in High School.

My life has formed me. Specifically, when my Mom passed away, I became very independent and motivated to succeed. I learned patience, acceptance, I love to help others whenever I can and I easily forgive, because life is just too precious. All of this has shaped me to be the mother I am today.

What kinds of goals for your own professional growth can you make based on these reflections?

# data[].attributes.body
I have a lot of goals for my students when I become a teacher. I want them to understand acceptance, feel acceptance and be accepting of others. I want to build this foundation of acceptance for their future. I want my students to know that they are a resource or an asset in my class. I want them to teach us about who they are. Most of all, I want them to be open and comfortable in my classroom. If they aren't aware of a certain culture or religion, I want to teach them because it is important that they understand people of all diversities.
