 Well,
I believe that everything I have accomplished and will
accomplish in life is because of God. I believe he made me
encounter good and bad experiences
in my life so that
I can become the teacher I am now.
In the sixth grade I remember a teacher who got angry with
me because I could not read a sentence correctly. I remember
I volunteered to read and she made me cry because I read the
sentence incorrectly. I remember everyone in the class was
looking at me and I felt so dumb, and from that moment on, I
did not enjoy participating or volunteering in class any
longer. I also developed this fear over this teacher. I no
longer wanted to attend school. My mom then transferred me
to another school where I met this wonderful teacher that
really believed in me, and always motivated me to try even
though I made a mistake. This teacher taught me that no one
is perfect and that its good to take risks.
