Present Day My parents always encourage and help me with my education. They have always been a positive influence on my education. I am currently a Pre-K teacher in Fresh Meadows. I love the working with the younger ones and teaching them all the things they need to know. I read to my students everyday and they love it. While I read to them I always make sure to ask questions about the story to make sure they understand. After reading I usually have the students draw a picture of their favorite part or favorite character.
Library Love Growing up my mother would bring me to the library every Saturday. This was my favorite thing to do growing up. We would go to the library and listen to the librarian read a story and then we played games. I would also get to take out a book each time we went.
Passion for reading and writing Growing up I always loved to write. My parents told me I always had a journal and would write in it everyday. I would also love writing letters to my parents or grandparents. I also loved reading growing up. My parents would read a story to me every night before bed. When I started getting older they would have me read to them. When I was in second grade, I struggled with reading. My teacher helped me before school two days a week. I loved my second grade teacher because she showed me how much she cared about me and helped me become a better reader. I love learning new ideas that will help me in my classroom.
Where it Began My parents always provided me with support in school and sports. They always taught me to value my education and try my best. My parents both graduated from high school but did not attend college. My dad worked from early morning to late at night to help support the family and so that my mother was able to stay at home with my brothers and I.
