As a teacher, I focus on building relationship with my students. I start the year strong, strict and with rules and expectations. I look young and students think I am their friend. I focus on mental health because I suffer from this. I make sure my students feel safe and welcome in my class. I am a huge believer of practice skills. Students come to my class with the mentality that they are bad and hate math. However, they are not bad they just do not practice it enough. I am a huge believer in parents involvement. I try to understand my students and be able to provide the necessary tools for them to succeed. If they is a will, there is a way!

I believe I am a visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learner. The way I learn depends on what I am learning. I honestly learn better from videos. I like being in control of when to stop the video and replay the video to fully understand something. I enjoy and take notes from presentations. I also prefer to talk about my answers rather than write my answers. This is why I think I am bad at writing papers. I am also very visual. English is my second language and therefore I feel I need a lot of visual representation. I need to see examples before I can start an assignment. I am also a better learner when I get the chance to do hands-on, especially with active activities.

I love traveling and exploring. I love being active. I enjoy nature. I like to hike, workout and play soccer. I like spending time with my friends and family. I like exploring new restaurants and trying new food. I try to travel at least once every year. This summer I made a road trip to Miami, Florida with my family. It was an amazing experienced because we hadn't travel together since I was 19 years old. (7 years ago). I am hoping to go to Disney World next year!

My name is Diana Madrigal. I come from a small but very close family. I am the oldest in my family. My sister and I are 4 years apart. I am Latina (Mexican). I am the first of my family to graduate college and will be the first of my family to obtain a Master's degree, so I am very proud and excited about that!
