Academic Autobiography
I started school when I was four years old. I attended L.A Elementary from pre-k to fifth grade. I don’t really remember my first day of school clearly but I remember that I would wear a little Navy blue overall dress with a white collar shirt under. What I do remember is how excited I was about my first day of school since when my parents would drop of my older brother I would always take my backpack even though I wasn’t old enough for school yet. When my first day of school came I remember my mom taking me to my class room wt her holding my hand. Seeing so many kids in a class room and so many toys made me feel safe and I knew I was going to have a fun time. I made a lot of new friends that day that until this day I still talk to them and we sometimes remember the times when we would sing songs to make us memorize the days of the week, the months of the years, and the alphabet, as well as many other songs.
I have always been blessed to have great teachers who love to teach and always make teaching fun and interesting. Since pre-k and the day I learned how to talk you can say I haven’t been able to stop talking. I have always been a very talkative person and out going and I have a passion for learning. I love to learn new things every day. I love to participate and also work with other people in the class. My first grade teacher was a sweet young lady name Ms. Ordas she knew how to make teaching fun and if I ever needed help I never felt shy to ask. She made me feel special and made me understand that if I ever made a mistake that it was fine because I would learn from it.
My second grade teacher was nice but for some reason my attitude towards her was sometimes rude. Even though I wasn’t the perfect student to her she was always sweet and always found ways to make me understand what we were learning. I remember I learned math very well by using flash cards in the class and by quizzing each other to see if we memorized our addition and subtraction. My third grade teacher was just awesome and amazing her name was Ms. Valle. I learned how to multiply in her class and we would always read different stories and learn about spelling and history. At the age I didn’t have a favorite subject yet but Ms. Valle always made reading fun. My fourth grade year was when I learned how to paste my reading and learned how to read at a proper level. I remember that during fourth grade I had trouble learning how to divide with two digit numbers and my teacher Mr. De Braba thought me how make division easy and not complicated . He told me as long as you know how to multiply big numbers you’ll be able to divide anything. I thought math was so complicated and I would get real frustrated with it. My final year of elementary was with my teacher Mr. Kon. When I was a fifth grader I already knew how to read, write, and do math. I have to say my spelling has never been so good. I have always had trouble spelling words that sound alike since I would always get the sounds confused. I loved my Fifth grade year because I was such an out going girl who loved to play sports and always wanted to get better at the subjects I wasn’t so good at. I had trouble with spelling but I always liked to write and even though math seemed to be getting harder I still found it interesting.
After graduating from my elementary I went to John Burroughs M.S .Those where the best three years of my life. My favorite subject has been math since middle school and my second favorite subject is science. My sixth grade math and science teacher was the men who influence my passion for these two subjects. He made me understand how easy math can. I find math like a puzzle and we just need to find where each part go’s. Even though math is a challenge and as more advance as you go the more confusing and difficult it gets I never gave up and always found math even more interesting because as long as you know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide you can solve anything as long as you know where every thing go’s.
Science to me is very interesting and teaches us about life, the world, and space and about what things are made of. My favorite science teacher was my eighth grade teacher Ms. Kinney. I learned about minerals, space, the effects things have on other things, natural reactions, and so much more. I remember doing a lot of projects with her. We made a mini aircraft to see how high it would go to the sky and how long it would take to fall. Then I remember making glue and ice cream to see how one thing reacts to another. That class was lots of fun and I became very close to her. I guess the reason why I like math and science because I like doing things with my hands and doing group work and interacting.
History has always been the subject that I find the most boring. I haven’t had an experience where history has been fun. Well actually only my tenth grade history teacher Mr. De Leon. He made history pretty interesting. Besides that history has just been something I’m not interested in even though I know it’s very important and a lot of things from the past affect the future. English is the second subject I don’t have a passion for. I really don’t like to read and writing is okay. I have read a few books that I actually found interesting and they are The Outsiders, Night, Ask Alice, and Chicken Soup for Teenage Souls. As you can see there are not a lot of books that I have actually read and liked. I want to start liking to read more because I know it’s very important but it’s hard for me because some books are just boring to me.
Education has always been very important to me since my parents have always thought me that education is the key to reaching and making my goals and dreams possible. I have always found a passion and interest in medicine, kids, and law. Since I was little I always watched and pretended I was an FBI and I would solve crimes n murders. I think about my future now that I’m close to graduating and I’m still not sure what I want to do in the future but I know what I would like to be. My biggest dream is to become a pediatrician and work with little kids and also be a sergeant that specializes only with kids. I would also like to be an FBI agent. Finally I would like to be a speech therapist and works with kids that have trouble talking and speaking properly. I think learning to speak sign language would be very interesting and fun. Also it would give me access to people who don’t speak English or Spanish but something totally different. I hope that as I get older I realize what I want to be and when I do start working that I never loose that passion that I started with.
Over my academic years I’ve had some challenges in some classes but I always choose to do my best. I know that if I don’t give up and stay motivated I'll achieve anything I want. I hope this school year is a great learning experience and that I learn to start liking the subjects I’m not so interested in. I know that if I give my time and attention to any subject and learn to understand it ill learn to be more interested in what ever I learn. finally I know this year is going to bring lots of challenges to me but I hope I can have teachers to count on to help me and make me understand what I’m doing wrong and how I can get better.
