Hello,
my name is Claudia Cardenas and I'm twenty years old. I was born in Queens, New York into a Colombian family. On my free time I enjoy reading, watching movies and playing sports. My favorite book is of poetry by Charles Bukowski called "Notes on a dirty old man". My favorite movie is American Beauty. My favorite sport is soccer. I also played for my high school soccer team. When I am not busy with school work or hobbies, I enjoy spending time with my young neices and nephews.
I am interested in teaching because I enjoy helping, guiding and caring for children. At the elementary stage, I believe that it is essential for the kids to receive proper guidance and a strong foundation for the rest of their education. Also, it has always been easy for me to understand and relate to children. I am not only interested in teaching, I'm determined to learn how to become a successful teacher.
Growing up it was always teachers that changed the way I viewed the world. Great teachers ignited a hunger for learning that has influenced my path in life. If it wasn't for my elementary experience, I would be illiterate and incapable of functioning in this day. I want to expose children to all the possibilities a proper education can offer. Help them become independent by giving them the skills and tools needed to succeed. In interacting with kids, I've realized that not only do I like them, but they seem to like me as well. I would stipulate that it is because I am a kid at heart.
I understand that teaching children is hard and inspiring them to learn can seem impossible but, I feel destined for this vocation.
