    Nelson Elementary
    After going to countless elementary schools, my family settled in pinedale and I went to Nelson Elementary where I began to learn English. I had to do a seperate class with a special teacher that was sort of like a translator for me. I did not like reading at all!
  • Mrs. Fletcher

    Mrs. Fletcher was my Language arts teacher in the 7th grade. She introduced me to Sandra Cisneros and Gary Soto, this is when i began to love reading. Mrs. Fletcher also encouraged me to write what I wanted to say even if I didn't spell evrything right, I loved her class.
  • Abraham Lincon Middle School

    My parents moved to Selma. When I started school there I was tested in language competency ( for the first time in a couple years) and no longer placed in English Learners classes.
  • Passed the test

  • Fresno City college

    I started Junior College as a science major with the goal of becoming a nurse.

    After tutoring young english learners who like me struggled to learn the language, I decided to switch majors. I wanted to teach English instead of being a nurse.
