The Dot!

When I asked myself, who in my life encouraged me to make a mark? It didn’t take me long to think of the answer. My parents and my brothers came to my mind right away. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household where everyone in it was always encouraging me and pushing me to follow my dreams. When I told them I wanted to continue to be a dancer throughout my life, they supported me. When I told them I wanted to become a teacher, they told me that I could do it! They are always telling me to be the best that I can be. They have always done this in such a loving and supporting way. Not only have they told me to follow my dreams in becoming a teacher, they have always told me that I can make a difference. I can make a difference in a child’s life. Whether it’s one child that I make an impact on or fifty children. I don’t just want to become a teacher because I like to teach, I want to be become a teacher because I want to work with children. I want to be the teacher that my students remember. My family has always made me believe that I can be that teacher. The one that made a difference in a child’s life. Having their love and support in my life since the beginning has made me who I am today. I have never given up. Some may think that having your family’s support doesn’t matter that much, but to me it means the world. If they weren’t supporting me all of the time, I don’t think I could have gotten this far in my career. I hope that my family knows how much I love and appreciate their support in guiding me to pursue my goal and make my mark!
