I was constantly put down by many of my teachers and one teacher even told me that I would be nothing. However, those very words inspired me to be better than that teacher some day.]]> 2023-04-26 21:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2569360341 alvarolopez33 https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2569368527 At the City college level, my academic struggles continued. However, I learned how to overcome anything life could possibly throw at me. I learned that Anything was possible if I put my mind to it, and most of all I learned that I absolutely love social studies. I love history and knew that I wanted to do something in that field. ]]> 2023-04-26 21:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2569368527 alvarolopez33 https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2569396267 While I was attending city college, I was simultaneously coaching wrestling at a Jr. High in my hometown. Although I did not have much confidence at first, I quickly realized how much of an impact I was having on my wrestlers. They began to look up to me and I took responsibility for that. I wanted to make as positive of an impact on their lives as I could. This is when I fell in love with helping youth.]]> 2023-04-26 21:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2569396267 alvarolopez33 https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2570656712 After 2 years of still not knowing what I wanted to do, I finally came to the conclusion that I could combine both my love for History and helping youth into one by becoming the best history teacher that I could be. I wanted to prove those teacher who doubted me wrong, and also continue to inspire our youth by caring for them and teaching them.]]> 2023-04-27 16:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2570656712 alvarolopez33 https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2570660884 While attending CSUMB, I fell in love with history even further. I was obsessed with it. After completing my Undergraduate courses, I enrolled in the credential program where I was able to student teach with someone who showed me how to enjoy the profession. From that point on, I knew I was in the right field. I was able to discuss history and Be there for our youth at the same time. ]]> 2023-04-27 16:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alvarolopez33/pgupgvweqsvdj5h6/wish/2570660884
