Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The biggest and most important challenge I've ever had in my life was when I came to study a month ago to this country (United States). For me it is still a very big challenge why I am living alone with my aunt and sister and it is not the same confidence that you have with your parents, all my family stayed in Mexico why my dad has his business Aya and my sisters are still very Small. I come to America to have better studies and better job opportunities and mainly to learn the language of this country (English) Why I think in the future it will be very necessary to understand and talk. For me this is a great challenge why I am difficult to understand some classes why I do not understand much the language, but still I made a lot of enthusiasm and tried to improve on what I can so I can be sooner with my family and be able to achieve this challenge , I just need to focus more on the studio, so I'll have good grades and have better job opportunities.

    One obstacle that I have overcome is that of having lived in so many places throughout my childhood. Throughout my young life, I have had to move upwards of five times. This has caused me to have a few friends from my young life that I am still in touch with. Although this has been hard, I have been able to overcome it, and each move has made me more resilient, and made me appreciate my recent life which has had less obstacles that I can't control. Furthermore, I have also had to overcome the roadblock that was having to live through the pandemic.…

    Nothing seemed to be a challenge. I found it easy to accomplish things. I got this false sense of reality, that you didn’t have to work that hard to be successful. I entered into high school overconfident and unprepared. And I was hit with the reality that it took more effort than I cared to put in to get good grades. When I was really motivated and interested I did well. At the same time my family was dealing with serious health issues with my mother. The proud, caring, loving, and nurturing mother I knew started to fade away. Since there is no diagnosis from my mom, she is seriously ill with a life-threatening condition, I have no idea what my future holds. This motivates me know even further to take advantages of what life has, and push my limits towards success.…

    Obstacles and hardships are what shape a person. One of my many obstacles I had to face was getting use to my freshman year in high school. Due to me going to an Early college my freshman experience may have been a little different. Transitioning was one of the most difficult parts of the whole experience due to me not being able to really grasp what I had gotten myself into. My teachers were very firm in conducting their teaching strategies. I can recall a moment in time where I had turned in one of my first papers for my English class I was so excited for her to read it because I had worked all night on it trying to perfect it. A couple days passed and I got the paper back it was so many read marks on it if I didn't know any better I would…

    According to Michelle Akers, “I think the challenge is, to take difficult and painful times and turn them into something beneficial, something that makes you grow.” Just like every human being, I have had my fair share of challenges to face. My parents were born and raised in Mexico. Being from the type of family both my parents had, education was not an option and no importance was taken toward it. They both dropped out of high school and began to work in factories to help their families with financial problems. They realized how hard it was to earn a living and to maintain a family without a proper education. When I was four years old and my sister was nine, my parents made the decision to send us to Brownsville, TX for a proper American education.…

    My biggest challenge was learning to speak English. When I first arrived, I did not know a single word of English. After two months of staying in America, my dad admitted me into a school, even though he knew I could not speak English. On the first day of school I accidentally sat in somebody else's seat, because I did not know the teacher assigned seats. I do not look like the rest of the students, so when they entered the class, they all stared at me in a strange manner. My teacher had to give hand signals to explain things to me, like how to go to lunch, to read books, as well as other…

    Colloquium Reflection

    My Colloquium class was very interesting this past semester because I can say that I was with one of the best teachers from Boricua College. This year I had more time with the opportunity to learn and practice about my career Early Childhood, which was excellent. Also, during the Colloquium class, we met every Tuesday where we discussed about our practice in the classroom, where we could observe the students and teachers. In fact, the facilitator Linda Perez always made sure that I understand the lesson, we always read about the topic and then discussed about it. Overall, these logs were very beneficial because they provided me more opportunity to improve in the English language as I am from the Dominican Republic and Spanish is my main language. In colloquium, we spoke about any topic and then to expressed ourselves in writing, which was good because you develop the skills of writing.…
