Spanish Reflection
A Memorable Term In Mr. Rodriguez's Spanish 1-2 class, we have learned so many new things and have had the amazing opportunity to gain more fluency in another language. Some of the goals we had in the beginning of the term were to learn the appropriate level of Spanish, for example more knowledge of verbs, and how to say basic conversations and greetings. We were expected to have learned everything we were taught, and the basic part of the Spanish language. Mr. Macfarland was our Spanish teacher, and his techniques were that we did our homework in homework packets, and we would sing our vocabulary, which benefited us and helped us memorize it in an easier way. When we took test, quizzes and answered questions aloud, he could judge if we were learning or not by the answers we would give, or the grades we would receive. The family project we did in Mr. Macfarland's class was definitely the most memorable and enjoyable assignment we did. Throughout my freshman year, I didn’t do any other project that was like the family project we did in his class, and that is what made it so enjoyable. It was fun to go through old pictures, and be able to sort of introduce you’re family to your class. I did well in my Spanish class, receiving high grades on most assignments. Some of the difficulties I experienced were doing homework, because that was the only class I had homework in everyday and also book work, because it was hard to understand sometimes. I learned many new interesting things; I learned how to have a conversation in Spanish, also verbs in Spanish. Throughout this term I have improved greatly. I have gained a lot more knowledge, because in the beginning of the term the only thing I could say was hello. As for my achievements, I am so proud that I received an A in my class, because that was highly beyond my expectations. I would grade my effort about a B-, because there were a lot of times I would slack off and not do homework and my performance about a B

    I can really say that I am proud of my accomplishments. Seeing the A made me feel elated. Nevertheless, more than the grade, I am more proud of the learning I achieved during this semester.

    The first would be my administrative tasks as a Resident Assistant. I consistently turned in papers, forms, and completed task on time or before the deadline. This also included emailing and updating my supervisor about any resident conflicts or situations that occurred. I feel that this is an accomplishment because I was able to keep the line of communication open to my supervisor and ensured that all information was given in a timely manner. Another accomplishment I achieved over the past semester was being flexible to my other Resident Assistants. There were many times when last minute another Resident Assistant needed to switch duty days or had an emergency situation and I was able to cover for them. For example, during the semester one Resident Assistant needed to go to the hospital last minute and needed someone to cover. Despite it being last minute and on a Friday night, I was able to take the duty day. This is an accomplishment because I felt like I was a vital member of the team and that people could rely on me to step up to the plate when need…

    Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module. I have made continues effort in building my confidence in situations that I have felt uncomfortable in.…

I love history and I believe my passion for history will help me instill a love for history within my students also.

    Two Spanish educators, and an assigned substitute had thrown the towel in on this group of students before October’s fall semester, they deemed them a lost cause. With limited materials, and a lack of administrative support, I too was expected to be the fourth adult to fail them just as the system has for so long. Though I had no education or language experience, converting course with a language lab and my creatively integrating the arts made an innovative and engaging classroom, I am pleased to say I successfully completed the academic year with my Spanish 1 students with a 94% pass rate! I reflect back to this moment when I thought my place was to impact the classroom when actual development was needed in the hands of policy makers and organizational leaders. Through this experience I knew that I was the change I needed to see in my school system, and through Tufts I will to be molded into the leader that prevents such experience from other educators and leaders in the…

    During the third week, after I had exhausted all of my ideas, I resorted to a game that my Spanish teacher had used. A leader yells out commands in Spanish and the students act out the commands. When I asked Andrew to be the leader, I found the miracle that I had been seeking. He thought it was great that he could order the teacher around with commands such as "jump in place" and "touch the window." I told him that if he asked me in Spanish to do something, I would do it as long as he would do the same. With this agreement, I could teach him new words outside the classroom, and he could make his teacher hop on one foot in front of his friends. Andrew eventually gained a firm grasp of Latin.…

    Although my household is Spanish speaking, my parents were not able to get an advanced educations so as to teach me how to properly write in Spanish. So when we began working on this project, I was incredibly self conscious and afraid that it would not be as great as my other writing. It’s incredibly obvious when I write in Spanish that my dominant tongue is English. But to my surprise, my teacher was actually very impressed in how I did on the project. It was of course not perfect, but it helped me realize that there was no reason to be so doubtful in my writing. It was a lot of fun being able to experiment with a language that I have lived with for so long. I have never written creatively in Spanish, and found it challenging but also very…

    I think that I challenged myself to receive good grades, and that I have done so this semester. I am eager to find out new or different things that I have some knowledge about, but I was amazed at the things I thought were right with counseling issues that I was completely wrong about. I am sure that I still have a long way to go, and many new things to learn. I feel that I was entirely invested in this class and all the assignments that were given to me. I wasn’t late on any assignments and many times had the assignment finished before it was due. I read each chapter carefully and was interested in each new thing that I found. I always want to do my very best in each class that I take. I returned back to college when I was 40 years old. This was something that I had dreamed of for many years, but was afraid to try it. I thought that I wasn’t smart enough to go back to school. I am glad that I made this decision even if it was many years after I should have done it.…

    Finally the day came and it was time for me to go to school. I was scared; I did not know where I was, and I did not know a single word in English. There was no way my mom would stick me in an English classroom. They moved me to a Spanish one; there I had a more clear idea of what I was learning. The teacher was a sweet, calm lady; she had patience with my wiggly and off place writing, to this day I have not figured out whether she understood it or not. Once I learned my ABC’s here came the small words of animals and things like for example “oso” which means bear in Spanish. Learning to read and write seamed so boring. I had to sit down and do homework which required my attention, but I preferred to draw and play. Learning was torture; I would read very slowly, even when I tried to read those small picture books for small kids, I was useless by that time.…

    A memorable moment of the Spanish major is how I was able to connect with a part of my culture that I never knew existed. Initially I felt that I was very educated in my history but the Spanish major actually helped me to get in touch with my roots. I was able to connect with my roots through history, literature, and language. Because of this I was able to establish a new sense of respect for my culture and the other Spanish speaking cultures.…
