One event during my education where I was inspired to perform was as a
fourth grader during an oral language competition. I memorized a poem titled “My
father’s hands” it was a long poem. I love poems so It was easy for me to
memorize and I did ok reciting it, but I was nervous in front of a crowd. I
still like the opportunity I had to recite the poem and take steps in
overcoming my stage freight. After that experience, I was at ease in
assignments that required me to present in front of the class.
One event during my education that completely deflated me was in college when
I had to create a power point and present in class. During my beginning years of
college, I had no idea about technology or how to even begin to create a power
point. The assignment was stressful and overwhelming. Once I completed and
presented my assignment, I was glad that I did not allow the assignment to
defeat me. I completed the assignment well and was grateful that my professor
had us complete an assignment using this tool that I currently use frequently.
From my experiences as a student, I think I will encourage, guide and
offer learning opportunities that will help my students take educational risk.
I want to provide learning experiences that are new to my students and help
them feel confident in completing the assignment.
