Personal Statement
This letter is to inform you that I have graduated from California State University Monterey Bay with a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish and it is my intention to pursue an academic career as a High School Teacher. Born to a small Salvadorean family, I have been raised in a hard-working environment and involved with honest and persistent people in a world of hardship and poverty since I was young. This ambient has helped me to develop strengths in myself such as being a good student and most important of all, being a good learner with persevering nature. I am a first generation college student who migrated from El Salvador about ten years ago. I attended schools in low income areas. I am currently a senior at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) majoring in Spanish with a minor in Business, and in the near future I plan to obtain a single subject teaching credential, consequently becoming a teacher. Ever since I developed the process by which we acquire knowledge of the world and modify our subsequent behavior, memory, I can recall I have always wanted and dreamed of becoming a teacher to help my community, encourage, inspire and motivate students to fight for their dreams and make them a reality. This is the main reason why I would like to become part of your team. I want to help kids, who like myself, come from low income areas to achieve their goals through attaining a good quality education.
I have gained a variety of great experience. I have worked as a at Cabrillo College and as a tutor for Mini-Corps, a program that works with migrant students that are having trouble academically in schools and who are at risk of failing. The previously mentioned migrant program has given me a lot of experience in the field of education. Being part of Mini-Corps and working as a tutor at a community college will help me accomplish what I seek through becoming part of your team. As a member of your team I want to help kids that have a potential but a few teachers see it. I want to help those kids setting up educational goals and teaching them how to become better students and also help them find ways that will help them learn more easily. As I mentioned before, I want to motivate our future generations through the classrooms to fight for their dreams. I want to inspire them to keep on going with their education because a good education will help them have a better future in a world full of intellectual wonder. In fact, the ability to open the boundaries of knowledge rests within the limits of education. Education gives us information about the past, so we can move forward with a better understanding of the mistakes we ought not to make. In my view, education is the MOST important tool for every single human being. Education is the starting point of my current ambitions and it has played a big part in my successes. Moreover, this personal philosophy is part of who I am and who I will always be: a person who is always seeking and wanting to learn and trying to motivate future generations.
My success as a teacher will be determined by the positive results of the students. I will do everything I can possibly do to help them succeed in their education, I truly believe that "failure is NOT an option" and that if they fail, I will fail! Moreover, my success will also be determined by my enthusiasm. I am a very positive person that never gives up and who fights until the goal at seek is reached. I am confident that this opportunity, together with my consistently-cultivated strengths, is considered beneficial not only to me or Monterrey Bay State University, but also to you as my prospective "employer," to minority students and the world as a whole. As previously mentioned,—in a world full of intellectual wonder—the ability to open the boundaries of knowledge rests within the limits of education. GOOD teachers spread the knowledge of wisdom we possess in the present, so we can better explore the world we live in.
As a whole, I would love to become part of your team because I want to help and inspire the younger generations to never give up. I want to help them attain a good education because being educated opens many doors and helps one to achieve its dreams and goals.
