I was born on the 22nd of June in 1994. My parents had been waiting on me for 5 years. My Mom had fertility treatments over and over. Just when they were about ready to give up, they found out they were pregnant with me. They decided to name me Noah Andrew (Over Augustus Rhodes thank God). My Mom specifically picked out a biblical name. Noah, the man who built a giant ark, in which animals came in 2 by 2 to escape the flood. My name means a lot to me. It is a symbol of my families beliefs in the Bible, and our values. By now, everyone here knows i have a brother (Luke) and a sister (Anna). Both of their names are also from the bible. Our religion is a huge part of our lives.

My favorite characteristic about myself is that I am able to make people around me smile. Whether it is being goofy, making a joke, or just by being nice.

My favorite literary experiences are spent with my family. Whether 20 years ago, reading childrens books, recieving the daily Bible verse, or just telling stories. I love to be with my family. This photo represents my favorite literary experiences becuase these are all books that I have read during christmas time my entire life.

Sitting here thinking about this project, I was looking around the room wondering what my important book is. I have so many I could choose from, I could not choose from one. As I was looking around I noticed a Childrens Christmas book that used to be my absolute FAVORITE. The books title is Rocking Horse Christmas, and it is about a boy growing up with his rocking horse. Its not the most exciting book, but I can vividly remember my mom reading it to me, and that is what makes it special.

I have had several different privileges in my life. My greatest privilege is that I have a loving, supportive, and selfless family. I sometimes forget how lucky I am to blessed with the family that I have. Each and every one of them would do anything for me.

On my literacy river I have social networking, texting, reading articles, schoo work, and sports news. All of these things are literary practices of my every day life.

During my breaks, I work with several hispanic men. I do not find myself uncomfortable usually, but there are times when they are speaking another language, that I do find myself unsure of what they are talking about ( not in bad ways, but if they ask me a question, or if we are talking about a certain job). It can be confusing and very easy to miscommunicate and get a job wrong.

This knife has been used for over 75 years by various family members. When my Grandfather passed away, it was one of the items given to me. It is a butcher knife that was used to butcher cows that my great uncle raised. It is one of the most valuble items that I own, not because of how much it is worth, but becuase of the family history it holds.

My family makes Brunswick stew every Black Friday. It takes everyone because while it cooks it needs to be continuesly stirred so that it doesnt burn. My family has made this stew for generations, and we have made it on Black Friday for over 30 years.

Struggles with teaching culturally diverse students

# data[].attributes.body
So far, I have taught in several culturally diverse schools. I think that there are ups and downs just like anything. One of the parts that I struggle with the most is trying to reach every student at once. I dont want to have patience, I want everyone to connect with me. Sometimes you are not able to break through to a student on the first or even the 50th time, but you can never stop trying. As a teacher you are not going to break through to all the students at once, but one by one it is possible.

Strengths with teaching culturally diverse students

# data[].attributes.body
I have many strengths teaching culturally diverse students. It is the same as teaching any students. I welcome everyone that walks through into my class room with open arms. Every one is welcome and everyone feels welcome.

Often I have to overcome a bias that everyone does not have the same political views that I do. Many of my political views are based on the way I was raised. It is important to remember that it is ok for others to not have the same views as me.
