1. I taught 4/5 split class that was very diverse, (Pilipino, Russian, African descent, African American, Caucasian) and because those students were all of different cultures and have lived in the United States all their lives, my students attended that school since preschool, they spoke English. During holidays, our class was respectful of the different religions and cultures. My class had International Day set up for my students to share their cultures with each other by giving a little history, and share different types of foods, and clothing.

1. Math. It has always been a struggle for me even as a high school student.

2. I think struggling to teach is a constant thing. Teachers are always trying to improve their lessons and themselves through professional development.

3. I am a perfectionist and I am sometimes extremely unforgiving of my own mistakes.

4. Well there aren't many things I don't love or love to learn about, but if I had to choose a subject it would be history. This is simply because it didn't appeal to me as a child, with the dates and the people and the timelines, so I began to focus on other subjects and began to become strong in them. Now, as an adult, I see how relevant history and civics are and I love it, but it's not my strongest suit.

2. I would add more visual language to describe concepts more thoroughly.

4. One thing that I struggle with, both in my personal life and in my professional life, is being a perfectionist. I am very hard on myself and have been since I was in kindergarten. Although it can be a great thing, as people tell me, it can also distract away from the bigger picture.
