Autobiography

Hello. Good night, everybody.

I'm Daisy and I want to start talking about my

earliest memory learning.

So my earliest memory learning was actually in kindergarten, which

was also known as my toughest year of learning.

And here's what.

When I first started school in the United States, I

had no idea of the language.

I was about to start speaking nor learning.

I had a very tough time learning to the point

that I actually had to start taking extra classes and

online classes.

Yeah, and besides that my tea, my kindergarten teacher, was

actually very races, which made it, ah, lot more worst

for me and moving on to my most influential person,

which to begin with that you wanna think my mom's

instead for being my biggest supporter, biggest helper.

And I know she's not a teacher, but the most

amazing teacher I've ever had zone my mom.

She would actually sit next to me, helping me do

my homework for hours and me personally think, understand English.

She didn't understand English, but she would still be there

helping me do my homework HQ.

She would go out of her ways for me to

be able to learn and understand.

She went and asked people to help me.

My mother was my best teacher that I've ever had.

During the 2nd and 3rd grade, I was just beginning

to learn at a kindergarten level.

Many people had made fun of me, including my kindergarten

teacher. But my mom never gave up, and I would

say what it was in her hands for me to

be able to learn with her support.

By the end of fifth grade, I was actually ahead

of majority of my classmates.

The help that she gave me was tremendous e.

How helpful she won also and talk to my own

principle. To which my principal talked to one of one

of my teachers who was an like a Nilo teacher.

And they put me in online courses during my stirred

2nd and 3rd grade.

And that had helped me Ah, lot and talking about

the most teachers that have helped me about the illa.

We're moving into the most influential teachers that I ever

had. So I've had about two teachers in the whole

13 or 14 years old school who had actually taken

the time to help me understand help and understand me.

The first one was in third grade.

Who, actually, he wasn't a teacher.

Like I said, probably.

But he was more like a school helper.

Or like an l L teacher.

He would just be there, working with people who struggle

speaking English.

But he may work with Hispanic, um, Latinos, people, students

to me.

And he did everything that was in his hands for

me to be able to take online classes along with

the help of my principle, which is very, very, very

helpful. And I'm extremely grateful for everything they did for

me. My second teacher was in seventh grade.

Who would stay after school every time I needed any

type of help special with writing my essay.

She was an English teacher, so that would actually super

helpful. Um, she became someone who to the damp.

Today I still ask for help, and I extremely trust

her. She sincerely I always make sure that I was

on top of all of my work, and the best

part was she always doing something was wrong with me

or something was bothering me.

She was also my dance coach.

Through my last two years of high school, which was

extremely amazing because I was able to talk to her

after dance practices and asking for hope on anything.

It's moving down to that.

We can talk about the most influential persons adult in

my life.

No, for this one.

It was really hard for me to think of somebody

like I really try thinking of it all who has

been information to me.

But the thing is that I was able unable to

think of anybody besides the people that I mentioned previously,

which were in my two teachers.

Um, I never really had, like, adult as a role

model or someone who was simply influential to me.

I mean, the only person I can think of that

we I might consider one was my brother, who he

is also in college in Ecuador.

Um, he has always told me, Never give up, no

matter how hard it is.

But I mean, that's pretty much where he always tells

me. Sometimes they Yeah, I had never really had any

person, an adult person guide me and help me pretty

much. I've always been, um, very independent person.

Moving on to one of the first questions that was,

How will I take this knowledge and use it to

become an effective teacher?

And honestly, after I have been through and everything I've

seen people go out there, I feel I mean, not

I feel, but I would use all my knowledge to

not commit the same mistakes many teachers doing.

What I am me with that is that many teachers

don't take the time to get another students.

They just tend to just go ahead and teach, do

what they're gonna do, and that's it.

And I mean, some teachers Do we joke around about

20? A soon as I was like, Oh, man, I

guess, um, helping teachers be like, Oh, yeah, I get

paid for it like I know you do, but I

feel like it's something you should really, really enjoy doing.

Um, e was also take my time to understand every

individual student.

Most important, I would love to be ableto talk to

every single parent so I could understand many of my

students Ah, lot more and teach them that we all

come from many different places and understand that they can

also have a live outside of school as well as

being someone who they know they can trust if they

have any type of issues in her outside of school.

But the main parties let them know that I understand

about mental illness.

Desert is etcetera and not try to push them toe

a limit that I know is not, um, good for

them went on.

Um, how has my language in some cultures, um, influence

when learning And I come from Ecuador, which the language

spoken in Spanish.

And for the first six years of my life, I

actually never spoke any other language besides Spanish.

And coming to the United States was very difficult for

me, especially when I knew I had to leave everybody

behind. And I mean, I also never really understood why

guys. So I just got discriminated so much in my

first year for being Hispanic and all that really, really

affected me in my learning process, because I became very,

um, shy, scared to open up, scared, even asked for

help. And I just felt like if I would have

had a more supportive system at the beginning, I would

have received a lot more help open.

It would have been a lot better for me.

And besides, I came from a very low class family,

which I How do we use the same close?

A couple of times and I never cared until some

students, classmates and even teacher, my kindergarten teacher started pointing

and making fun of me.

My culture in my language, affecting my learning so much,

it actually made me feel scared to ask for help

or even do a presentation till the day of today.

I feel like I really can't express myself without someone

pointing out either my race language or even the culture,

even though I know most times they're not doing it.

But it's just the inside of me.

Thank you sometimes that they're still doing it.

And here we're on the last slide of our presentation,

and we're gonna talk about some of the strengths, fears

and concerns that I have some strength that I could

bring toe understanding is understanding.

Yes, I feel like I would be able to understand,

but majority of my students I will be able to

understand black is a majority with students because just like

because just like I know what they're going through, what

I mean is that I might be able to understand

what they're going through or what they went through.

Um, because I have gone through it as well, um,

as well as not as well as the struggle of

learning or not being a fascinating like Francis.

In the beginning, I struggled a lot when I had

to learn in most of the teachers really failed me

and for helping me.

They really never did anything.

So I feel like that's gonna be one of the

biggest things is actually being able to help them out

of things that we'll keep everybody together but still keep

them, um, learning.

Um, one of my biggest fear is letting a students

feel like they can't ask for help after or before

class. Yes, that is one of my biggest fear.

I don't want none of my students to ever walk

outside my class with with having questions or doubts about

a certain subject that we learned.

I want them to be able to come and ask

me and understand the subject.

Um, I don't one of the main things.

I really don't want them to feel like they don't

belong in my class.

I want all of them to feel like they're welcome.

They're safe and I want them to enjoy the class.

And one of the biggest concern that I have is

them going through something and not me being ableto help

or understand what I mean with that is that, Like

I said, I want on my students to be able

to talk to me, communicate with me.

So I'm able to help them and understand them a

lot more.

And I am scared that I might be trying to

help a student.

But instead of helping them eventually affecting their mental state

or anything like that by trying to push them, I

just wanna be toe, understand the community.

Oh, thank you very much and have a great day.
