1. Teaching experience: I started teaching Sunday school when I was fifteen. A year later I became a Kumon teacher and taught children 5-6 years old reading and math. I have more experience teaching children in their early years. Currently, I am a preschool teaching assistant in Stamford, CT. I want to be a teacher because I want to make a change in the lives of children. I want to be a teacher not only because it is what I’ve always imagined I would be, but also because I think it’s the most rewarding job in the world.

2. Learning experience in social studies: I would characterize my elementary school education as conventional. I remember being in ESL in first grade and second grade. My most fulfilling social studies class was in 4th grade.
