Interview With Annie Sequeira

I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.

Under the impact of community and the whole immigrants’ background, children of immigrants are more likely to study hard and pursue for a better score. When talking about go to school, Salina felt that study can make her smarter and if she did not study hard she may end like a homeless. These ways of thinking may come from her teachers, parents, relatives or even classmates. In her mind, study was hooked up with living. Salina was living under too many pressures which

My mother worked four jobs at once to make financial ends meet, while always stressing the importance of education and financial independence to my brother and myself. My grandmother only achieved a second grade education due to the financial constraints on her family at a young age, but still in the end managed to make certain that of her children and grandchildren had what was needed to flourish and become successful, educated members of the community. The tenacity and history of these two women I still carry with me today. Their struggles have inspired to me to only want more from life, but also serve as a positive role model for the younger members of my community. I observed from other family members how an education can open a multitude of doors and opportunities. I want to make the biggest and most significant on my community and on my family as possible, and the only foreseeable path is to achieve a college education to gain the necessary skills, knowledge and connections needed to flourish and implement positive

Family involvement plays a major role when helping students prosper in the school setting. In order for children to be successful, as a teacher, we have to provide support to the parent’s to make an effort in wanting to play apart in that success. Communication plays a major part in the effective relationship between families and school. Giving the parents a sense of idea as to how their child is doing in school is built through the student’s academic needs.

Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.

During Sharon M. Drapers childhood years, they were very successful because of her parents. Her parents encouraged her and her siblings to study, work hard, and as a result they could reach any goal they set for themselves. As encouraging as her parent were, they would set standards for each child and push them to be the best they could be. Her parents taught her that every opportunity you get you take because you never know what the future holds for many cases. In the educational aspects “For her parents education was precious commodity”. (SharonDraper1) Ever since the time

First, one of her accomplishments was getting the Pottawatomie scholarship to Iowa western. At Iowa Western, she plans on studying to become a doctor. She is slowly making her way to achieve her most significant accomplishment, which is graduating, as we all are hopefully. Her graduating from high school is pretty big for her because she will be the first in her family to graduate and that thought makes her proud of herself. The activities she participates in are track and cross country. She enjoys track the most because it has always been her try hard sport. It is something she loves doing and it’s dreadful that it is her last year of running in high school.

In the beginning of the interview I had believed that the Hernandez family was a middle-class family who had no great monetary issues, I also believed that the family needed more persuasion to be involved in school programs since in the past Janeth Hernandez the mother to the child Jenny Hernandez shared she had never participated in her child’s school as a volunteer, and I also believed that one involvement plan fit all families. However, after completing the interview on the Hernandez family my beliefs on this specific family where greatly influenced I realized that not all families will fit the same involvement plan because every family has different day to day activities, so it is important as a teacher to communicate with not only the children but the parents too. I also learned to be understanding that although a family might look like a family ignoring their child’s academic development what really might be happening is that they can’t afford or are having difficulties completing school requirement with no help. Finally, I learned through the interview that it is important as a future teacher that

In my education, I have worked hard to succeed (channeling my Mother), and I have relied on many resources and people (Ms. Guzman’s lesson), with the goal of helping my family

Ramkumari is a little schoolgirl who attends The Class 3 (third grade) whose aspirations were to become a schoolteacher when she grows up. She was accountable for preparing the lunch meal for her family as all of them except Ramkumari went to the fields early in the morning, so they would expect the food to be cooked by the time they return. Ramkumari did not mind making food for the family because she didn’t want them to stop sending her to school since she wanted to be a schoolteacher. The emphasis of this article is the aspiration, social mobility and education of little girls from Class 1 to Class 5 in the small

Being born and raise in the small isle of Antigua, there are not a lot of job opportunities to unskilled workers. As I grew up, I practiced to excel in my entire subject areas and do my best in all that I chose to do and I ended out on top. At the age of four, although a young kid, I was being molded into what will become the refined me. During that period, it proved no significance to me what happens educationally. At that age, the

As a child growing up in a Latin American household, you learn three vital lessons that give rise to personal success: dedication, consistency, and self-discipline. My parents instilled in me a strong work ethic and dedication to family. Unfortunately, my parents let their strong work ethic take precedence over family. They were often absent when I was in elementary and middle school, leaving me to discipline myself.

In today 's society, there are issues that are more important than another. There may be some disagreements on which issue is more important than the rest. Which leads to the most important topic in life, education. At a young age, we are enrolled in school from kindergarten to senior year of high school. When you hit high school you are preparing for your future; attending college, joining the work force, the military, etc. However, one thing seems to go unnoticed, this is the notion that a young ones career as a student is simply molded when they are in their elementary years. This now leads to the topic of this essay; Jonathan Kozol 's book and his research on students from the inner city.

Over time the way teenagers are in high school has changed dramatically. Hearing stories from my mom about her high school years and reflecting on how mine were, it’s very different. The way she was brought up, her responsibilities, relationship with her parents, and their roles of contributing to the family, and sibling relationship al differ from mine dramatically.

My parents, no matter how demanding or time consuming education may be, always made it the number one priority for my siblings and I. Although they had only made it up to the 5th grade in their home country of Mexico, they still tirelessly emphasized education more than anything else. Countless times my parents would remind me that getting my education would become their proudest achievement. They would tell me that their goal for my siblings and I is for us to soar higher than them, while remaining humble and loyal to our roots. Because of this, they would dedicate any amount of time or effort
