In the poem, “Juggler”, the main character seems to be just a talented person entertaining a crowd of both children and adults as they become mesmerized by his skills. However, the poem really is about the struggle the world is in and how the juggler is the only one who can seem to “shake our gravity up” (line 7). As the speaker shifts between the simple narrative of a crowd being entertained to the tension the the world is in, he reveals his own negative worldview. The speaker starts off the poem by explaining the motion of the balls by stating that “A ball will bounce; but less and less” (line 1).
A large group of students in the United States makeup a large population of English language learners. Students who are considered English language learners undergo many challenges in their education, and without the necessary support and resources from their educators it can make it hard for them to succeed.

I know that at times my strategies will not go as I plan them to go but I know that with my support system and the effort I put into my schooling, I will succeed. I believe that every child deserves to have access to quality education. Getting to know each student is a great way to promote an inclusive environment and get to know their cultural backgrounds. Having a safe and welcoming environment will play an important role that I will implement when I have my classroom.
In my role as a future educator, I intend to balance the fulfillment of the curriculum's objectives with respect for the distinctive personalities of the students I will teach. I possess a strong preference for the care pedagogy method of education. Integrating care pedagogy into the classroom places the responsibility of providing a safe and caring environment on the educator and emphasizes the value of developing a rapport with the students so that they feel supported. I would like my future students to view me as a compassionate role model through my actions of promoting appropriate self-validation. I will actively work to establish a great deal of importance on my students' character growth as well as their success in education.
Ever since I was little, in sixth grade, I’ve known that I wanted to make some kind of impact on the world. I’ve known that I wanted people to know me, to love me and to remember me. I wanted to make such an impact on someone’s lives that they told strangers or even their kids about me. I realized this goal when I met one of the most influential men in my life, and no, before you assume things, it is not my father, although he does inspire me in many other ways.

I have also always been one to want to help others, and share information I know, just as I have been with them. As we grew up, I got more opportunities to take care of and teach children. Because of these first experiences, my passion for children rooted there.
Before I began my first semester of teaching, I decided to set some goals to help me work toward becoming the teacher my students need and deserve. One of those goals is to ensure all of my students succeed academically. I believe that the purpose of education is to promote and ensure academic success for all learners; therefore, I want to give all of my students an equal opportunity to gain the knowledge, strategies, and the experiences they need to succeed in the forthcoming semester and through their lives.
