My Most Memorable Event in School
My most memorable event in school
I emigrated from Taiwan to the U.S. when I was 7th grade to receive a better education.

I was enrolled into Montserrat middle school when I migrated. Although I thought that

My English level was good and fluent enough at the time; I got placed in an ELD

(English Language Development) class. I soon earned my teacher’s (Ms. Kuwait) trust

and validation in class. My most memorable event in school is the first day of my ELD

class.

I and my guardian went to registration for middle school during the summer. The

receptionist asked me all kinds of question to know where my level of education is. The

receptionist also told us that there was no guarantee that I am going to be admitted into

the school since more people are registering that the number of people allowed to be

entering the school. My other option is to try to be enrolled into Morrill middle school,

but both of my guardians said the other school is a place where most of the Mexicans

and drug dealers are and they are worried that students in the school will influence me.

As soon as I heard their comment about Morrill middle, I begin to worry about my future.

The era of anxiety ended when my schedule at Sierramont got mailed home.

The first day of school in a unfamiliar environment is always the scariest and one of

the most exciting school day. Meeting new classmates, new teachers and getting to know

more about the school is all part of this new school year. As I get seated in the ELD

classroom, Ms. Kuawada started to introduce new students to the class and started an

activity in which students have to know about each other. During the activity, I

discovered that some of the classmates are people who came from Taiwan and I became

friends with them. Ms Kuawada also gave us a test to see what our English level is, as

soon as I finished the test, I found out that my English level is not as good

    Shortly after I was born, my family and I moved to Nuevo Laredo, a Mexican town bordering the city I was born in. In Mexico, I completed my first three years of education and successfully graduated from kindergarten. Several months after my graduation, my family and I moved back to Laredo, Texas to gain the advantage of an American education. In order to better prepare myself academically, my parents decided to hold me back a year and repeat kindergarten. Despite the fact I was older than most of my peers, I am grateful I was held back, for my proficiency in English increased as a result of studying an extra year in the United States.…

    The morning my alarm went off for my EDHE class my mind instantly went to skipping. Even though my dorm is not even a minute away from the Kinard building, where class was being held this particular morning, the monstrous hill that I had to climb to get there made it a breathtaking five minute walk. I finally found the courage to roll out of bed and began my journey to class to hear about that day's lesson, which is a lesson that will stick with me for the rest of my life.…

    School is a challenge for non-English speaking children of migrant workers and for migrant workers themselves. “Children are being assigned to “special education” classes, or being placed in a lower level grade” (Parra-Cardona, Bulock, Imig, Villarruel, & Gold, 2006) because there are not enough bilingual teachers in our educational systems. When migrant farm workers must relocate many times during a school semester for employment, their children are forced to changed schools. Often with English as a second language, the children of migrant workers fall farther and farther behind in their education and many are ultimately forced to leave school and join their parents in the fields. (Parra-Cardona, Bulock, Imig, Villarruel, & Gold,…
