My belief system stems from my family. My parents both immigrated to the U.S. after they got married and started a life here in hopes that their children would not have to experience the hardships and poverty that they experienced. Since childhood, my brothers and I have known that being educated is of the upmost importance. There was never a question of if we would go to college; it was a matter of when we would go. My parents believe strongly in a great education because they were unable to go to school in Mexico and have been manual laborers their entire lives. They wanted us to contribute more than just our hands to society, they wanted us to do more and affect more people with our minds.
I learned early on that there are many challenges that are faced by those that are not well educated. As an English learner, my first challenge was mastery over the English language. Growing up bilingual has helped me become a person that is very empathetic to families that struggle with language barriers. That is why I opted to get my BCLAD teaching credential, so that I could potentially teach students that were learning English as a second language. As someone that struggled just like them, I could be understanding of their situation and know that they needed to be challenged to learn and improve.
That is why I have placed such a high value on education. I know how important is for every family that their child receive a quality education that is challenging and rewarding. That is also why I believe in providing a meaningful education to all students. It is the reason I became a teacher. So that I could help others achieve more through the use of their minds. I will be happy knowing that I helped many different students learn things that helped them make something of themselves later in life, even if I never find out about it.
