The reason why diversity has such a huge impact on my life is that I personally went to a Catholic school where there was little to no diversity in my school at all. It was primarily all white middle-class students who came from a well-off family. I never truly got to experience diversity until my middle school years after I changed school distich and went to a public school. I have always said changing schools was the best decisions in my life and I stand by that 100%. In my new school, I met so many new people, friends, and teachers. These people truly have a huge impact on my life and are the reasons why I am becoming a teacher.

They will not enjoy being in my class and probably will have a harder time leering because if they don’t trust me and don’t “like” me it will strain their ability to learn. I believe I need to have a great relationship with my colleagues too. The reason its necessary to have a strong relationship with my fellow collages is because your coworkers are in the same position as you are. If you are struggling with something they probably have or are going through something similar to you. You need to be able to talk to your coworkers and trust them. I believe that my coworkers will also be my friends outside of the classroom setting. So many of the teachers I have had in the past have gained so many friends by working. They trust one another and help each other out! The administration is also
