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.

When I was in High school I remember to dislike the popular crowd because I always thought they were conceited. Some of the popular crowd would also exclude others because they were not as cool as them. But then I met Jessica and she was part of the popular crow. Jessica turned out to be this beautiful person with a kind heart. I remember she sat with me in the school bus one day, and she began talking to me as if I knew her for a long time. I realized that I was not being fair. This incident taught me to never judge a book by its cover. To this day Jessica and I are very close friends. We must always remember not to judge people by their first impressions, because we are not giving them an opportunity.
