# data[].attributes.body
Ubuntu
Integridad
Kohyang
Growth

Example: The core value of Kohyang resonates with me really strongly. Throughout my career, the more I have understood and embraced my own roots and identify, the more I have been able to value and create space for my students' true identities.

# data[].attributes.body
The core value of Kohyang resonates with me because I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so I wanted to give back to the community that means so much to me. Here at Bright Star Schools, I already feel so much support and a sense of community.

The world is a hard place to live in. Kindness and treating others with compassion is key to eradicating societal ills.

Integridad really resonates with me today because many voices are still being silenced when trying to speak their truth. I hope to create a classroom environment that encourages students to be proud of their unique identity and share it with the world.

Growth- I am all about growing and learning. I can't expect my students to grow if I myself am not growing. This is why I am here at Bright Star Schools. This organization gives teachers opportunities to grow with feedback and mentorship. Although I have been teaching a long time, I know I still have much to learn and I'm happy to continue my journey here with Bright Star! :)

I thought being an excellent teacher was fixed and innate. However by connecting with my school community, I was able to find my teaching philosophy and identity. I found my work to connect and empathize with people made me an effective educator.

# data[].attributes.body
I strive to learn from everyone as we all have different perspectives and have lived through many experiences. One size does not fit all.

The core value of Kohyang resonates the most with me because it connects well with my eagerness to give back to the community where I grew up.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a peace keeper and someone who enjoys bringing people closer. My life's purpose is to bridge gaps and help others heal and become the best versions of themselves. As a teacher, my favorite thing to do is inspire my students to unlock the magic within.

# data[].attributes.body
I've always thought of schools, and schooling as being community endeavors. When I reflect on this word I get an imagine in my head like the recycle symbol:  you move and act in ways that benefit your community and it becomes a cycle of the community coming back around to support you. A non-toxic cycle, a cycle of sustainable compassion and support.

"Advocate for those whose voices are not heard" has been a driving force for me personally as I grew up in a school where if your mom didn’t fight for you to have the right classes, you weren’t on the four-year college track.  Not everyone’s mom knew or could fight, so I try to fight for everyone like my mom fought for me.

The core value of Growth resonates with me strongly. As a first year teacher, I wish to grow and develop my teaching skills with the guidance of our great mentors and colleagues.

I really appreciate the genuine dedication our admin have to antiracism, and their ask to be given feedback should these restorative justice practices seem performative. It is so important that we learn and grow together openly, avidly, and intentionally to unlearn our internal biases, and call whiteness and white supremacy by name. When admin is open to growth or feedback from their 'subordinates', it shows strength, courage, and real leadership, as opposed to conditional, performative openness to growth. I want to trust and partake in a campus community and culture like that, where equity means that the job of those in positions of power is to use and give their power away freely, to share in the empowerment of others. I'm excited to finally be at a place that resonates with these values. ^__^

# data[].attributes.body
The core value that draws me in is Growth. I believe that as humans we never stop growing. We make mistakes and we try to learn from them to become better people. I want my students to value growth and to nurture the areas they want to grow in.

# data[].attributes.body
I consider myself a lifelong learner, especially as an educator. I have always thrived in environments where I am able to learn from others and demonstrate my growth in real time.

Integrity important life long core value that runs the core of my belief systems of education and equity.

# data[].attributes.body
The longer I teach the more the value of integridad resonates with me. In my opinion, one of the most important goals of school and education is to discover and identify your core value, in order to live a life of joy and meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
Both of these core values resonate with me because I love learning from my peers. As I move forward with my career in education I find myself learning, expanding my horizons, and getting out of my comfort zone. I also believe that we have to be advocates for our communities. Being able to understand our students and where they come from can help us better understand how to teach them.

# data[].attributes.body
I sometimes struggle to focus on what I am doing well, because I am SO focused on how to improve and grow, as a teacher, as a mother, as a wife, etc. With that being said, I think growth is so beautiful. It is full of all possibility and hope. It is the antithesis of stagnancy and boredom.

# data[].attributes.body
Ubuntu really resonates with me. Kindness, love, and shared humanity transcend education and our daily work, but they are what give us reason to connect.

Learning is a lifelong process that involves the reshaping of mindset to meet purpose and goals as well as changing societal climates.  This is what I consider as growth.  Learning to adapt, to meet needs and support others in reaching their goals and potential.  Through growth, I can learn to help others.

# data[].attributes.body
The core value of Growth resonates with me most, on both a personal and professional level.

Growth - The core value of Growth resonates deeply with me as I have found so much healing in focusing on my growth over my accomplishments/end goal. This is not a value I felt was honored in my home growing up - my parents were all about achievement. In learning to be uncomfortable during the growth process I have experienced new levels of self love and acceptance that I hope to invite others into.

This core value relates to the reason why I went into education. I thoroughly enjoyed my K-12 experience and I want to help play a role in making sure that our students also receive an excellent education. As much as possible, I want to see to it that our kids also get wonderful opportunities to learn, play, grow, and thrive.

The value of ubuntu resonates with me as the value of a strong community and connections to others helps shape each of us. We are stronger together and can develop a better sense of self with the support of those around us. Taking the time to know, love, and connect to both students and one another is what every one needs.

I would not have the sense of individuality and sense of self that I have today if not for the communities I surround myself with and choose to be part of.

# data[].attributes.body
I resonate the most with the value of growth because it is something I strive for in my teaching as well as in my students. I am a huge proponent of growth mindset and I believe in modeling growth for my students and being honest when I make a mistake and need to grow further.

In the words of one of our students from the Class of 2021: “No one is perfect, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to be the best version of ourselves everyday.”

We all have continuous learning (and unlearning) to do!

The core value of Integridad really resonates with me. I believe very strongly that our communities, country and the world becomes a better place when everyone operates with integrity and when all voices are heard AND valued equally.

# data[].attributes.body
The core value of growth most resonates with me. Growth is something that is ongoing throughout our lives and is in many respects the foundation on which the other core values are built. It is only by aspiring to grow and develop as educators that we can help our students grow and develop into members of society who thrive and emphasize the other core values.

Of course, the paradoxical thing about growth is that it often entails letting things go-prior assumptions can get in the way of long-term growth and the embrace of other values.

The core value Ubantu resonates with me because I believe a sense of community and belonging are integral to our existence. They make other core values possible.

Integridad is the core value that resonates with me. 

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that regardless of what stage we are in our lives: toddlers, teenagers, adulthood we all go through transformation regularly in ways that can seem positive or nagative but all shape who we become. I see this in my peers and in our students and can look forward to how our students continue to transform even after they have graduated from our schools. Allowing this to be the norm gives our families, students and staff the ability to be comfortable in change.

# data[].attributes.body
It was hard to pick, because they all resonate with me, but I think that integridad would have to be at the forefront for me.  It's important to be to act with kindness and do right by others, as much as possible. I see this value in so many of my colleagues at BSS and they inspire me daily!

As a first year teacher and advocate for being a better version of yourself, having a growth mindset is something I’ve learned to embrace despite my need to be a perfectionist. I celebrate my mistakes (learning opportunities) and I want my students to feel that they can do the same.

Ubuntu speaks to my own personal journey of finding community and my identity within this world. I think building a community around you is how we find ourselves.
