Final autobiography by Giselle https://padlet.com/gisellea/etqqwh9sw6jo Reflection On My Educational Experience en-us 2018-04-26 08:31:51 UTC 2023-06-24 03:06:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png The messages I received about the purposes of my schooling from family and from school professionals? gisellea https://padlet.com/gisellea/etqqwh9sw6jo/wish/255545382
  • Without school I would not be able to provide for myself independently 
  • I will be forced to work a job I am not happy with such as "flipping burgers"
  • With a good amount of education I will have more options for a good paying job
  • School is not just for my future job but it also taught me how to respect others such as my classmates and my elders.
  • Most of the messages I received were at school from my teachers since they played a bigger role for me than my parents
  • My parents worked a lot and were not able to help me study
  • I went to a school comparable to the one in the reading known as Affluent professional school
  • This was not the top school in the state however it was a good public school and I never had any complaints about how my teachers treated me or their classrooms.

  • I didn’t really enjoy many aspects of school expectually when I hit puberty since that’s when I felt shy as a girl and worried about what others thought of me.
  • Some things I learned in school I thought were not beneficial for me in the future so my relationship to some of the curriculums was at times half and half.
  • There were times I agreed with the knowledge passed down to me by certain teachers who motivated me as well as gave me words of encouragement since I felt they believed in me.
  • Some of the material passed down for me to learn was stressful for me and I didn’t know if I would be capable of learning it since my lack of confidence as a young girl was so low.
    • The article I chose that relates more to this question would be
    Orenstein,P. (2000) Like the readings about the young girls, I too felt at a young age I was very low in confidence and held back in school due to fear of being judged by others.

  • In my beginning years I was very confused with school because of the language barrier. I spoke Spanish and some English so having to learn English was hard at first for me.
  • Social class, I felt it was equal because most of the children I went to school with lived in the same town as me which was middle class families. At a young age I did not know the difference between myself and other children from different backgrounds.
  • Culturally things were a little different at school compared to at home since both my parents were immigrants from Colombia and Puerto Rico.
  • Most of the students around me were white and only spoke one language their weren’t many children in my school who weren’t white. 


    • The reading I choose for this section is Chapter 2 - The Ethics of Teaching

  • No child left behind was something I remember having in my schools and hearing about constantly. 
  • My experience on this reform was not the best I never understood why this was important since all children are different.
  • I did not do well in these tests and most the time just filled in the bubbles without reading the questions.
  • Another reform I remember used in my school was funding for students who could not afford lunch. I didn’t have this since my parents made enough money to buy me lunch but I remember how it was beneficial for students who only were able to eat at school since their families could not afford to feed them.

    • The reading I will be discussing will be on ...
