Education

P.S 123

My educational experiences started at the age of  five, I went to Head Start. I remember my teacher Mrs. King was a warm, soft spoken teacher that cared for her students. In Head Start we learned the early concepts, our alphabet, numbers and peer interaction. At the age of 6,  I attended P.S. 123 elementary

Middle School/ J.H.S. 162

school located  in Brooklyn N.Y. There I learned how to read and write, all the basic things we learn in school. The teachers in this school were amazing, they truly took their time to help any student who was struggling             academically. I struggled with reading and was given one on one tutoring for about six months. My reading improved over time and  I was on grade level by the end of  year.
 

I then graduated to middle school, J.H.S 162. There is where I met Mr. Holub, my English teacher, which gave me the appreciation of books and reading. I went there for 4 years and graduated at the end of 9th grade.

High School

When I entered high school, I was very excited. I was accepted into Clara Barton High School for nursing. My teachers were very caring and helpful. I remember when I first dissected a piglet.” OMG,” is what I thought, Do I really want to become a pediatric doctor. The teacher once again were helpful, they talked me through dissecting the pig. Eventually, I decided to change my profession and  become a teacher. I spoke to my counselor and she changed my classes to regular ed. At the end of my senior year, I was ready for college and to further my studies. I took some time off to raise my children. Now that my children are older, I decided to go back to school. I am currently enrolled at Northampton Community College to pursue an associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I am looking forward to the future and what’s to come.
