Professional Biography
Let me ask you a question. How are you not incredibly bored by the above professional biography? I
am certainly yawning after writing such nonsense and I hope you are, too.
I am someone who is going to stick her tongue out like a four year old who doesn't like broccoli
when it comes to the format of formal professional biographies. There are thousands of articles with
tips and suggestions on writing guidelines, all of which not only bore me but evoke outrage. I want
to take down this external structure of "describing a professional self" with tiny ninja knives and
chopsticks while wearing a tutu and being photographed for my future profile image. This is
certainly the image of the therapist I would choose to work with from the listing in

Also, the above quote is who I am to my core and every waking moment of my life is devoted to
helping you step into the unedited light that you are, too, and equally so. I will admit that some of
this intention is selfish. Entertaining myself over the last decade has run its course and I want to be
intrigued by you more than I am of myself, which is a rare occurrence.
What a surprise that the above paragraph is certainly going to be judged and classified in terms of
narcissism by some. Again, thank you counseling profession for slapping a wound on my light and
deep respect for who I am.
I am formally trained as a "Psycho"–Therapist and I have an incredibly low opinion of my
profession as a whole. Incredibly low. Deeply disappointed and disheartened. Yes, the sentence is a
fragment. Intentionally so. I am emphasizing the fragmentation I experience in my profession as you
are reading.
Moving forward with directness, I think we actually "suck" at healing. We do not understand the
essence of what we are being called to bring forth in the world and, yes, I believe it is our
responsibility to dig deeper. If there is a more sophisticated synonym I could use in replace of
"suck," I'm not interested in your suggestion, but thank you.

3rd Person Autobiography
Ashley Reed
Autobiography Ashley Reed was born on a warm Texas morning in June 1984. This blue eyed little
girl was a huge surprise to everyone because they were all expecting a little boy. Named after an
actress from a soap opera, this bundle of joy grew up as an only child, but shared a lot of time with
cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Raised in the country, Reed had a passion for animals and
getting dirty. There wasn't anything that could stop this little tom– boy from jumping in a puddle of
mud, climbing trees, or capturing wild horses. This determined country girl learned at a young age
to be independent. Reed would go out to the pasture and capture a horse, bring it back to the barn,
saddle it, and take off

The medical field had crossed this competitors mind a time or two, but was never anything serious.
An elective credit was needed to complete the semester, so this fragile freshman decided to sign up
for the athletic trainer course. Reed had no awareness of what was in store for the future. This
novice trainer stood on the side lines during every football season, hydrating the players, taking care
of sprained ankles, injured wrists, and finally a broken femur. It was then, junior year, that this
novice trainer became a future paramedic. High school ended in December 2002, when this early
graduate walked across the stage and the forthcoming journey began. High school was over, a
college in Lubbock, Texas was chosen, and this young adult was going to attend paramedic school.
At the end of the first semester, personal and family issues surfaced, and it was back to the little
small town of Willis. Still wanting to pursue the paramedic field, Reed realized that this wasn't the
right time to do so, and began seeking employment to help with family needs. This hardworking
driven individual worked two to three jobs at a time over the next nine years to help support family.
In all this time, the dream of becoming a paramedic was never lost. It wasn't until June 2011 that the
door to pursue this field was reopened. Reed decided it was time to follow

Political Biography Essay
Conor Samuels

Professor Simon
PSC 101
Political Autobiography In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious
influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a
caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my
early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to
become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in
something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives,
which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

It is very important to be aware of what is going on in the world however sometimes reading can be
a better source or information than watching bias television broadcasts. I believe that if children
have to develop their own political opinion at a young age then they will attain values and beliefs
that are more logical. I had structure growing up as a kid and was directed to what was right and
wrong but I was not born into a political dictatorship. My parents were caring people and
emphasized that treating others with respect is more important than following some indoctrinated
code. I am fortunate to have been given the freedom to develop my own social and political views.
Having political guidance from family is important but being told that only one particular political
belief system is infallible is not the ideal way to educate. My parents have always preached equality,
and that all people should have equal opportunity to pursue their goals despite their religion
, race,
ethnic background or sexual orientation. At a young age I was taught to recognize that all Americans
have an equal opportunity to aspire to an education regardless of their economic condition. My
parents were a large influence of how I view freedom of speech. They emphasized that all
individuals have the right to express their opinions and advocate their personal beliefs. One of the
key political concepts that I was born into was to fight for a clean environment. The environment
must be protected and

Biography of Aristotle Essay example
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist who lived from 384–322 B.C who was born in
Stagira, Macedonia. His father played a major role in society as a physician in the royal court.
Young Aristotle took a liking to Plato and decided to go to his academy at the age of seventeen. For
the next twenty years, Aristotle remained there first as a student then as a teacher. After the death of
Plato, Aristotle moved to Assos in the Asia Minor where he tutored his friend Hermias who was the
ruler there and decided to marry his niece. After his death he then tutored Alexander the Great at the
capital of Macedonia known as Pella. Later in his life, Aristotle decided to move back to Athens,
Greece to open up his own school known as Lyceum.

An act is acted upon through lack of knowledge known as ignorance when the performer is unaware
of the consequences of the specific condition. Performing in the course of unawareness must be
separated from performing in ignorance. One may be performing ignorance through drunkenness or
moral depravity, which is an act of moral corruption that ends up being extremely worse. Voluntary
acts are acts that are the opposite of involuntary acts. A voluntary act involves choice that human
beings are only capable of. The choice that one makes is different from rage or desire. "Such
actions, then, are mixed, but are more like voluntary actions; for they are worthy of choice at the
time when they are done, and the end of an action is relative to the occasion" (Book III). True choice
requires rational consideration, an ability unique to human beings, which also means that the human
being choosing can verify that one action is preferable to another. An example of voluntary action is
the decision to play a sport for school or not. Playing a sport for school may take time out of your
studies, but at the same time, make you become better physically fit and an overall better person by
learning things about yourself and about life. That student has to make that decision if he wants to
feel better about himself physically or concentrate more on his

Example Of Autobiography About Myself
Memoir
Everyone has their own stories, no matter it is meaningful or not it is their life and their memories.
When I told to write a memoir about languages, I could not come up about any ideas. So, I ask
Professor for help, my Professor told us that everyone has their own stories and it is interesting,
because that is your experiences not ours. People like to hear stories, because it is not their
experiences and they want to know what have you been through. Here are little stories about myself.
I was born and grow up in China, Tianjin, a big city where just an hour away from Beijing. Since
my mom wants to give me a better living environment, and better chance of education; so, we
decided to move to US. When I moved to the US in 2012, I was only sixteen years old and barely
spoke any English. Even I had learned English for all my school life in China, I still didn't
understand when other talking to me. The new life was totally different, it was tough and
challenging for me. The new language environment and culture differences were giving me a hard
time to fit into this country. When I first came to Chicago; Mother and I went through a great
amount of troubles trying to enroll me in a high school
. Many schools turned me down because of
my lack of English skills. They wrote me a letter and send me to an ESL class at a community
college.
As soon as my mother settled me down in a small apartment, she left me to work in another state.
She needs to make money to support me and our family, so I have no choice to live alone by myself.
I was facing the challenge of fending for myself in a totally strange environment, where I didn't
know enough English to ask for help. When I was in China, I never had to cook, shop for groceries,
and walk to school. For the first time in my life, I had to do everything by myself. I had so little
money that I could not afford to eat at restaurants every day. Therefore, I had no choice but to cook
for myself. At first, my mother was the only person I can ask for advice. But when it came to
practice, it felt ten times harder than it sounds to me. I remember practicing cutting on potatoes. My
left fingers were often wrapped with Band–Aids. But I disregarded the pain and kept practicing it

Autobiography Of My Family
I was born and raised into a hardworking family that are the complete opposite of culture alienators.
My siblings and I are all first generation in America on my mom's side and second generation on my
dad's side. Life was very hard for my parents to raise all seven of us and depended on my
grandparents for most of their help. Being that my grandparents brought all nine of their kids to
America from Belize it was also very hard for them so survive and find stability. Most families that
come to America from a third world country usually find it very difficult to keep up family traditions
and sometimes lose all contact. My family found a way to stay very close and keep the Belizean
culture very alive still to this day. As you can tell by now

This left my mom with seven kids to raise by herself. Meaning one on one time was rare, because
my mom is not a superhero and could not be in multiple places at one time. Grief left my family and
I in a place where we did not know what to do, but we eventually got out of it, and continued on
with our life. We always remembered the hard working parents we had, and the hard working
mother we still had. I am resilient and got back on my feet and continued to attend school, graduated
elementary school, and will soon graduate from high school. Although, I have gone through many
difficulties it has made me work harder as an individual and choose my career choice at an early
age. Being that I was very into the heart at a young age, and my father passing from a heart disease,
I always knew I wanted to study cardiology, and will someday soon become a cardiologist. Being
that my mother has attended medical school several times, I first handedly have seen how difficult it
can be. I have been told by many people to pick a different profession because of that; But because
of how passionate I am about cardiology and the amount of times I have experienced people deal
with heart problems has assured me that I have chose the right profession. I being a very
conscientious person has has also assured me that I will be able to tackle medical school and
become a cardiologist. I believe that the first steps of becoming a cardiologist is that I have

said that it was one of the worst performing schools in the country and also one of the worst
behaved. I did not know this and didn't believe it because I and most of my friends had achieved
very good grades in our SATS. I had achieved level five in English, five in science and four in
mathematics. Anyways when I first started the school was the chitter chatter of other pupils and the
smell of school dinners was as always putrid. The grease they used to fry made the air slimy and un–
breathable.
When I entered the massive gates the immense building towered over me. I felt tiny in comparison
just like my confidence at the time, I was terrified. My year had started a day earlier than the rest of
the school so that we could get to know each other better. I had already made some new friends but I
had also made enemies. Me and my new friends played some football together and it was awesome
they were unstoppable (I was unstoppable as well) and right there I knew I made friends for life One

Autobiography Of My Childhood
In second grade, I finally figured out that something was wrong with me. There always had been,
and it was only getting worse. For as long as I had been alive, I was never like other kids. As a baby,
I never crawled more than a few inches. But one day, just for fun, my dad stood me up across the
room from my mom. "Walk to Mama," he told me. Despite all expectations, I did. I got up and
walked to Mama. I didn 't even stumble. It wasn 't that I couldn 't walk, I just hadn 't needed to. My
mom carried me everywhere. It was a sign, albeit missed, of what was to come. I had also never
spoken, not even baby babble. Many of my parents ' friends took this as proof that I was autistic. My
parents, however, refused to believe them. I

The school tried to discourage my parents from thinking I was gifted, saying things like 'A lot of
people think that about their kids,' and 'She's fine where she is.' Fortunately, my parents knew
something was up. At Ms. Kafka's urging, my parents got me tested. The results came back positive.
I was gifted. Very. The school resumed its rhetoric with even more force. They didn 't want me to
leave. I was dragging up their test scores. My parents, however, did want me to leave, as did I. We
started looking at schools. Two favorites emerged: Nova Classical Academy and Minnetonka Public
Schools's Navigator program. Nova was a public charter school in Saint Paul, much closer to my
house in Minneapolis, and was recommended by my IQ test proctor. The Navigator program was,
unsurprisingly, in Minnetonka, and my parents had found it on their own. Due to my father's
anxieties about me going to a charter, they decided to look more closely at Minnetonka. A little
while later, I was pulled from my school to go to a Navigator orientation. As soon as I walked in to
the classroom, I felt every pair of eyes on me. I was in the worst situation imaginable–I was the
newcomer. I didn 't know anything about this strange new place, half an hour away from my school,
my house, and anything and anyone I knew. Worse, in less than a year, these kids could be my
classmates. I took a spot at the very back table. There was only one other student there–a blonde girl

Example Of Career Autobiography
Career Autobiography
Throughout life, people are influenced by others when it comes to career paths. For example, career
paths can be directed by our backgrounds such as family and culture. The career path I chose has
been influenced by family and those who support me and encourage me during school. The career
path, I have chosen is to work with women survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I will
discuss how self–assessments helped me gain an understanding, which careers might be worth
pursuing because of my interests.
I have always been encouraged by my family to volunteer to gain an understanding that experience
is valuable, even if the work is unpaid. While volunteering, it allowed me to see if I could handle
dealing with trauma victims in hospital settings. I chose the major of psychology because I always
wanted to become a therapist and help those in difficult life situations. I knew that my family
wanted me to feel rewarded and satisfied with the career I choose and to not focus mainly on salary.
My family always thought it was important to get a college education and a good career. They did
not attend school themselves and know the struggles of finding a job without the qualifications and
education. The cultural influences that impacted my decision was that my family can understand my
career path. My family looks at counselors as important people in society and as a career worth
pursuing. Both of my parents are from Poland and did not attend school in the

Autobiography Of A Teacher
As children, we absorb information and learn from experiences that mold us into who we are. Many
individuals impact a child's life, but the most powerful and influential role lies in a devoted teacher,
a teacher provides growth to students as a gardener would to a garden of flowers. Each child can
bloom into a thriving flower so long as you water their garden with optimism, love, patience, and
guidance. Throughout my educational experiences I was lucky enough to have educators who
poured their knowledge and optimism into me, and now I would like to reciprocate that back to
students who are in the position I was once in. Balancing life and school is hard enough for a
student, but a powerful and caring teacher can steer you in the right direction. In this autobiography
you will read about my educational background, experiences that influenced my decision to become
a teacher, and what I believe the role of a teacher should be in a student's life. As a student I went to
multiple schools, I went to three different elementary schools, two middle schools, and two high
schools in Brownsville, and through it all I had great experiences. Brownsville is a humble
community with low socioeconomic status, but rich in culture, history, and unity. In retrospect, the
socioeconomic status was changing as I attended different schools, depending on the area of the
school, of course. I was able to see peers of mine with different statuses than the person next to
them, some more affluent than

William Shakespeare Research Paper
What was Shakespeare Biography? Who was William Shakespeare? Where was he born? Where did
he go to school? How did William Shakespeare live his life from the beginning to the ending?
William Shakespeare's life became a great mystery with lack of evidence to support any findings.
His schooling, his family and parents will be revealed in my paper. Who were William
Shakespeare
's parents? The parents of Mr. Shakespeare were John Shakespeare and Mary Arden
Shakespeare. Mary Arden married William Shakespeare in 1557. Mary was the favorite of eight
daughters of the widowed Robert Arden (Absolute Shakespeare, 2000–2005). William Shakespeare's

The nine years between is just another mystery that nobody can figure out(Shakespeare Online,
Actor and Playwright,1999–2010 ). There is no doubt as of today that William Shakespeare is the
greatest writer of English Literature. His plays have been made into movies, books have been
written, music has been conducted and published, and if your real lucky you might even be able to
see a play of one of his greatest stories ever told; in which I have seen many movies and read many
books. Here are some of my favorite stories ever written; Othello, The Moon of Venice, The Taming
of the Shrew, Twelfth Night or What You Will, Julius Caesar, Richard III, Macbeth (which was a
favorite in high school), Midsummer Night's Dream ( I have read that book), Henry V, Hamlet,
which I might add Mel Gibson did very well playing that part, and my most favorite love story of all
time, Romeo and Juliet. As you can see the title says it all. His mind went to the extreme and with
such little education he just knew what his passion was and went for it. William Shakespeare's
children, as mentioned earlier, Susanna, Hamnet and Judith had a much different life of the great
English Poet. William Shakespeare's first born, Susanna, was raised by her mother, Anne. When
Susanna turned twenty–four she was to marry a prosperous medical doctor. The wedding was held
on June 5th 1607. Susanna had a baby girl eight

Autobiography Essay
While growing up, my family always pushed me to learn something new. Being a kindergarten
teacher, my mother taught me the basics of reading and writing. Those basic skills laid the
foundation for all of my reading and writing experiences. In elementary school, book reports and
spelling bees were my favorite activities. Throughout middle and high school, I had one determined
teacher, who was my teacher for all of my reading and writing classes. I believe experiences in my
early years, my interests in elementary school, and a specific teacher in high school made me the
reader and writer I am today. To emphasize, being the child of a teacher definitely has its benefits.
As soon as I physically could, I was reading and writing. When I was younger I loved Scooby Doo
books. My earliest memory happens to be when my mom was in the hospital having my twin sisters.
I was waiting outside, reading a Scooby Doo book. I remember my first day of kindergarten very
vividly. I expected my first year of school to be much more difficult than it actually was. From a
young age, my parents stressed how important grades were. I believe my grades played an

Every year we would have a book report. At this age, I was obsessed with horses, therefor I always
chose to read books about horses. I read books from the Phantom Stallion series, as well as
Seabiscuit. I also enjoyed art, so after reading the book, making a creative poster was also fun. The
competition of trying to win a book report was something I was interested in. Around fourth grade,
my school started to have spelling bees. My best friend was the only person, other than myself, who
wanted to win. If I won at my elementary school, I could proceed to district, state, and even national
levels. Sadly, I never made it past state. Even though I was never actually successful at spelling
bees, it was a fun activity for me during my elementary

Biography Of An Immigrant
I was born on january/31/1919 in Vietnam and immigrated to France. In 1942 I was studying at the
university in Nice, where I met a fellow student, Jadwiga Alfabet, a Jewish refugee from Poland. In
the summer of 1942 the French police began arresting Jews with foreign nationality. In September
1943 the Germans occupied Nice and all the Italian controlled zones and we were in danger of
deportation. I decided to hide not only my wife, but also her relatives. In November 1943 I took a

A Biography On My Mom
I wrote a biography on my mom because she is basically an older and wiser me, but her childhood
wasn't exactly as easy. Lashae Damore Bibbins was born on March fifteenth, 1970 in Los Angeles
California at the UCLA Medical Center. She was born on her dad's birthday and unfortunately, the
day her father's best friend died from a car incident. Lashae's parents are Lucille and John Jefferson.
Her first memory was when she was four or three years old in pre–school called Kimberly Ann in
1973. Lashae says, "I remember they had an ugly red carpet, and I refused to take a nap till the
teacher said "okay just lay down quietly". I used to watch a T.V show called "H.R. Puffin Stuff."
There was a red flute, an ugly green witch and the trees moved and talked." Lashae's mom
especially remembers when Lashae would cry every time she dropped her off, which gave her a
headache. As a child Lashae was most afraid of dying. She would think about it all the time and
scare herself. She also remembers the weekends when she was young. "Saturdays were the best
because I was able to watch cartoons all morning while drinking hot chocolate and eating toast with
grape jelly. My favorite t.v–show to this day was the Brady Bunch."
Lashae had two siblings. Her unreliable older brother, Maurice, who she thought was very weird
because he would always lie and steal from their family and an annoying younger sister, Meme, who
at the time lived to make Lashae's life miserable by pretending that Lashae hurt

An Autobiography Of My Cultural Identity
I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. My family was catholic and so I was taught to
pray and by the age of 13 I had all my sacraments. For most of my life I lived the downtown area of
the main city where my mother and her family had also grown up. I considered myself very lucky
because even though our economic security was not the best as I grew up, my mother always strived
for me to receive the best education she could afford. As a result, I learned to speak English from a
very young age and then French, I learned to play the guitar and also to paint. I also took
embroidery and etiquette classes and so on. Because of the location where we lived, I also took

Then, I was born in 1989, her only child. Arguably, this story was an eye opener for me from an
early age. I wondered, why wasn't my uncle forced to stop his life and take care of his parents as
well, after all they were both their children. Instead, my mother the female was the one who quit
everything and took care of her parents. As a result I grew up thinking that gender roles were meant
to favor men only, while women had to sacrifice their lives for others.
Arguably, my mother is my role mother. As a single mother, she struggled to provide for me in
unimaginable ways. Being a woman and a single mother in the Dominican Republic played an
important factor on her decay in class and economic status. As a result, it created a sense of
awareness for me, to understand that as women we have to work twice as hard than men to
accomplish half of what they have. This statement was true not only in the Dominican Republic in
the 90's but also today in America. Looking back at my mother's struggles I cannot say that I have
overcome half as much as she did. However, I can see how being a woman has been a disadvantage
and an advantage at times. A disadvantage because as women in my society, we tend to be victims of
sexism and harassment. Yet, it may also be an advantage because the same society that subject's
women, at times favors these in the labor market. For instance, when my mother passed away I was

My Educational Autobiography Essay
My educational autobiography consists of my time from my early days in elementary school until
the day I graduated from the University of Southern California. I had many great experiences as
well as some dreadful ones. The experiences from my educational career will mold the teacher I will
become in the future. My elementary schools years were spent at Kenter Canyon Elementary. I
remember my very first teacher in Kindergarten, Mrs. G, she was very kind to all her students. Her
compassion towards students who were scared to be away from their parents for the first time was
extraordinary. Another memory I have at Kenter was when, Ms. Montgomery, who was in charge of
the cafeteria would come to our fifth grade class to discuss her life experiences during the civil
rights movement. Mr. Osay, my teacher would let her speak to us directly and I thought it was
incredible that she was a few inches away from Dr. King when they marched on Washington. Mr.
Osay was a great teacher, but I also recall a moment when one of the female students wrote me a
note. Mr. Osay, took the note from my hand, gathered the class together, and read it aloud. I was
humiliated and I did not want to go back to school
. This is an experience I will remember when I am
a teacher, to ensure my students feel safe and welcomed at all times in my class. My middle school
years were spent at Paul Revere Middle School. My sixth grade English teacher, Ms. Schwartz, was
the first teacher

Educational Autobiography Essay
Miguel Huerta Period 1 September 8, 2010 Educational Autobiography A lot of people think
education is just something you get in school, but in reality education comes from different places
and people not just school and teachers. For example, way before I started school I was already
being educated by my parents, they taught me how to eat, behave, use the bathroom, talk, and a lot
of other things that help out in life. I started my educational career in John F. Kennedy Elementary. I
don't really remember my years there because I only went there for Kindergarten and 1st grade.
After that, I went to Sepulveda Elementary. That was a learning experience because I had to
basically be on my own for a couple of days since I was the new

Sadly to say, I didn't really have a teacher in middle school that made a big impact in my life but I
matured on my own and got my stuff together and put my work first and girls second. When I
graduated 8th grade I was so excited because I had accomplished something special but I knew that
wasn't the end but in fact a beginning to an even bigger obstacle, high school. I still remember on
the day of graduation my mom went alone because my dad was working and after I told her that this
wasn't the last time she would see me walking down for a diploma because in couple more years I
would be doing it again. That was a big deal because she never graduated high school neither did my
dad because my mom had me and they had to care for me. Then finally I made it to high school.
This was the place where everything I learned up to now would help me. My 9th grade year was
really good I met new friends that I still talk to, got good grades but other than that it was a normal
year. When I went to 10th grade I was in AOF (Academy of Finance) or Global. At first I was a little
optimistic about being in it because I didn't really know a lot of people but I stayed because I was a
little curious about the whole business stuff going on in there. It was a good decision to stay because
I really enjoy all the business related work and I am looking forward to even having some sort of a
business career later on in life. The teacher that really made an impact on me is the teacher for
whom I

Essay about My Life
My Life
I was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, and moved to California when I was very young. Before I
moved to California my dad traveled back and forth for 2 or 3 yrs from California and back to Costa
Rica. He spent most of his time working in the Fresno area, in the cities of Tulare, and Visalia. He
says he spent his time working in any available job including some farm labor jobs and went back to
Costa Rica to spend time with us. After the second time he left Costa Rica to come and work he did
not go back. At that time, amnesty was given to immigrants in California, and he moved up north to
the Bay area to find a steady job. That is when he saved enough money for my mother, my two
siblings
, and I to join him in California.
My first

I was in ESL programs until I entered junior high school. Learning the language, and trying to keep
up with the class work was a challenge for me. Having friends who spoke my language, and the
English language as well was an advantage I had. Having that extra help and support really made
my school experience challenging, but exciting as well.
Remembering the support I received from those friends creates a need in me to do the same for other
people
. I don't only believe that the support that I can give to migrant students as a Mini–Corps
student will help them in succeeding in school, but I believe that an appreciation for school can be
gained as well, and hopefully bring insight for continuing their studies beyond high school. As I
improved in my English I also grew an interest in writing. I enjoyed my English classes, along with
my math classes too. My interest grew and grew, and I joined summer girl programs. After
participating two year, I became a mentor to those new peers coming into the program. I worked
with teachers in Science, and in Math classes. I also participated in the volleyball activities, and
group activities. This is when I realized I wanted to work with youth my whole life. My interest in
English, and my interest in being a role model to youth made me decide to become an English
teacher, especially working with students whose first language is not English.
Now, I am a college student. I first went to UC Santa Barbara, where I dealt with more
