This improved my time management as well as communication skills as I needed to teach children in a manner they understood.

Upon arriving at the University of Michigan, I, like many of my peers, thought that I had everything figured out. I thought that I knew exactly what I wanted to study, exactly what classes I wanted to take, and exactly how to do this. However, after taking classes in the subject that I thought I would major in, as well as looking further into the major requirements for the subject, I soon came to realize that I was simply wrong. While this realization terrified me to an extent, as I no longer had a degree plan, it also caused me to think further and deeper into what I was really passionate about, and what subjects I truly enjoyed studying. This led me to not only look into different course options within LSA, but also look more closely at options offered by the other various schools on campus.

My father being a self-employed Chief Executive Officer or CEO of his own corporation has been my inspiration for business through the course of life. Many things that I have learned about finance, business, networking, and personal relations has been taught by him.

I believe that my strengths as of now in my educational career are cooperation with parents and families, teaching within the context of culture and being the teacher as a facilitator to students’ experiences. The reason I feel as if these are my strengths are due to my exposure to such things in life already and from the information found when looking into these tasks. Being a coach and tutor to little kids allowed for me to get a lot of experience with dealing with families and parents. These real world situations are where I learned a lot about how parents can react and may be during the education process. After lessons and assignments about dealing with these situations I feel as if I am more prepared then I ever was to be able to work with parents and create systems to get them more involved in their student’s education.

When I first started to understand the concept of math in elementary school, I realized how much I truly disliked the subject. Even though I noticed that I was pretty good at the subject, the older I got, the more I began to dread the concept of math. I just did not feel like math could be useful for my future in any way, since none of it applied to my life back then. It was all useless calculations with no meaning. The problems had no meaning, and neither did their answers, giving me that feeling that the subject was just another form of busy work which teachers would give us back then.

Today, I had the opportunity to spend time at Moreland Daycare in the infant room. I enjoyed the day with infants. It was an eye opener for sure, most people including myself think that working in an infant room at the day care would be a day full of loving on babies, which you do get too. There is a lot more to it than that though, such as having multiple babies upset at one time. It can become very stressful, when having to try and figure out why each baby is crying, and once you figure it out you must try and meet their needs rather it be multiple diapers needing changed or them needing to be fed or just wanting to be held.
