My Experiences At Valley

In the fall of 2012, I enrolled in North Hennepin Community College to pursue an Associate’s Degree in Accounting consequently awakening my thirst for learning. Majoring in accounting was an easy choice since I had a background in bookkeeping and I have always enjoyed working with numbers.

After days of sorrow and helplessness, I contemplated quitting everything. However, I then got results that I had been accepted into my second choice university.

This experience taught me to become flexible I was so used to everything taking place the way I wanted it to that I forgot that some things are beyond my control. This challenge helped me to realize that there are more paths than one in life. With an optimistic attitude, I can still succeed and contribute to society. I also learned that my time spent studying and participating in extracurricular activities was not wasted. The memories that I made from participating in the activities are worth the time and effort. As a result, I came to not regret my spending a great amount of time toward my education. It still helped me develop into a well-rounded student. I learned that I will continue to face more difficult challenges in the future as I enter college. However, I will continue to persevere with a positive outlook because the challenges will one day serve as memorable experiences that I can learn

As a transfer student at Texas A&M, I demonstrate what determination and hard work stands for through staying self-motivated to attend my dream school. Prior to the start of my education, my family and I moved to this country in hopes of escaping crime and violence, seeking opportunities and freedom. I was able to undertake my own opportunities and enrolled at a community college while also working a full time job in an effort to pursue my dream of attending Mays Business School. Every year, thousands of students apply to Mays; however, Texas A&M only accepts 100 candidates to attend their business school. Because of this transfer process, I have become a motivated, persistent and dynamic individual who strives for success.

After the completion of my first year at Seton Hall University I cannot describe my enjoyment and excitement. My father came to America 25 years ago, in hopes to make quick money and return home. But to earn money he conducted back-breaking labor, since he did not possess any reputable certificates. Regardless, he fell in love America, since it gave opportunities to change life for the better. Therefore, from an early age my parents have encouraged me to build a love of learning and curiosity.

Educators are extremely dynamic people. Not only are they teachers, but they are also students, friends, confidantes, coaches, and more. In order to be a successful educator, one must know his or her content well and also exhibit professionalism in all aspects of his or her life. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, professionalism is defined as “the skill, good judgment, and polite behavior that is expected from a person who is trained to do a job well” (merriam-webster.com). When I hear the word professionalism, I automatically think of tattoos, social media, and appropriate language/attire. After some in-depth discussion with my classmates and teachers, I have come to realize that professionalism encompasses so much more. Professional development, also referred to as lifelong learning, is a major component of professionalism as well. In my internship experience at Pleasant Valley High School, I believe that I have displayed many aspects of professionalism, which is a major component of my own teaching philosophy.

I’ve been preparing myself for college by taking challenging courses.

Although I feel that I’ve been preparing myself for my college career, accomplishing my career goals will be something that I’ll have to work towards throughout my college career.
