My name is Jhimi Herrera. I am currently a 17 year old senior attending the City Of Hialeah Educational Academy. Some of my favorite hobbies and pass times include playing video games, cooking all sorts of things with my family, watching/playing the sports I enjoy the most, and spending time with my friends and my girlfriend. My favorite movie is a basic pick, but it has to be Across the Spider Verse because I love all kinds of superhero movies. My favorite shows are Breaking Bad and Hunter x Hunter, and my favorite artists are Drake and Freddie Gibbs. Which both so happen to come from my favorite genre of music, rap. My favorite type of food is American food, and my favorite restaurant in Miami has to be Flannigan's. I would love to discover more about Miami and all the exciting places it offers, but my favorite place has to be the Miami Heat arena, the Kaseya Center. Just the sheer amount of passion and energy from the fans and how loud the arena gets is always unmatched.

Some of my plans for the future include graduating high school, getting into FIU or in the best case scenario, UCONN, and graduating with a degree in journalism and communications. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to be involved in sports in at least some way, but it had never dawned on me on how to be involved. Whether it be speaking or writing articles on them, being involved in the sports industry had always been the end goal. Then, something clicked to me once I went to watch a live show of basketball podcasters that I had listened to for years. Just the sheer enjoyment and passion they had for the game of basketball spoke to me in ways I hadn't felt for the sport before, and thus I have never looked back on my dream to become a sports broadcaster. As previously said before, my dream school is the University of Connecticut, as their journalism program peaked my interest in a time where I really didn't know who I was and didn't know what or where I was going to do after I graduated. So ever since then, my sights have been set on this job and nothing less!

One of the things I am most proud of is passing my AP Precalculus test. Although it may not seem like much of an accomplishment to most people, seeing as how I have always struggled on math, and did not have any hope going into the year on passing this test, I was overjoyed when I found out that I had gotten a 3. I managed to accomplish something that had seemed impossible and have the satisfaction of managing something that seemed like a task too tall for me to take on. In the near future, I do hope I will be able to raise my GPA to something high, yet realistic, something in the range of 3.6. I consider myself a pretty good listener, and helping people and giving them advice and reassurance when they aren't feeling the best is something I believe is a strength of mine. One of my biggest weaknesses is overthinking and procrastination. But with taking this class, these flaws are going to change one way or another. I believe the concept being happy and satisfied with who you are is relative from person to person, but in my opinion you can always become better, even if you are completely okay at your current state. Whether it be by a fraction of a percent that may not seem noticeable to most, simply getting up in the morning and taking on the day means that you are allowing yourself to be open to learn, listen, and grow each and every day.

The time where I felt as if I was on the world had to be when my parents decided to surprise me by taking me to California to watch the Chargers play against the Miami Dolphins. Being a Chargers fan, this was especially exhilarating since everybody in my family are hardcore Dolphins fans, so it felt like such a rush going for my team in their home arena. Although the result ended up being a loss for my team, the whole experience of it all and the arena being electric as ever, if I had the opportunity to do that day over again, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

My most embarrassing moment had to be the entirety of my first day of 6th grade here at COHEA. Coming from a small school where my mom had worked in for my whole life, I was petrified when she had decided to put me in this new school with so many fresh faces. Simply getting dropped off at this school filled me with so many emotions, and I just wanted to run back to the car and go with my mom. I tried my hardest to contain my tears and walked towards the rec, but I just couldn't hold back my fear any longer. I remember frantically asking so many people where each class was with tears running down my cheeks, but nobody could understand what I was trying to say through my sobbing and gibberish. I ran to everyone trying to find where robotics class was, just to find out I was standing right in front of it the whole time and had to walk in with tears flowing down my face. However, just when I had thought I was settled in and feeling a little better after my first two periods, my nose started to bleed like a fountain. And since the only bathroom I knew existed was in the main building, I had to waddle and hold my nose the whole way from the police building to the main building bathrooms, practically making a whole murder scene blood trail, just to clean my nose and have walk all the back to class in shame.

If I were a teacher, I believe assignments that keep students engaged such as games and group work would be the most beneficial in order to truly bring out the most in each and every student. So, most of the work being assigned to them would consist on that basis. Personally I am a visual learner and I feel as if I understand best when images are presented and things are highlighted in a way that isn't so black and white. Some projects and assignments I think would make this class exciting and engaging would be anything collaborative and group work related. I've always believed in the principle of meeting new people and the fact that having new experiences are always better when they so happen to be shared with others. In this class, I would love to learn to conquer my fear of publicly speaking and how to be able to be confident when presenting to an audience. Some characteristics of a "perfect classroom" are attentive and ready to learn students and a teacher that is always prepared and willing to help students when they need it most.
