Why are you interested in teaching?<br />
I believe education has the ability to play a significant role<br />
in awaking the promises we make to children in this<br />
country. I don‘t believe we are there yet.<br />
Increasing society‘s understanding <strong>of</strong> the value <strong>of</strong> difference<br />
and the potential expansion <strong>of</strong> multiple perspectives can<br />
happen through public education that develops critical<br />
thinkers willing to not only think out <strong>of</strong> the box, but<br />
critique the box which limits our creativity and<br />
effectiveness for all. Multicultural education is a source for<br />
such work which creates equitable and successful<br />
outcomes for all students. I want to contribute to the, yet<br />
unseen, reality <strong>of</strong> social justice that I see as the<br />
responsibility <strong>of</strong> educators. I keep the memories <strong>of</strong> my past<br />
students who endured, despite language differences, racial<br />
micro-aggressions, and cultural judgments, as inspiration to<br />
continue the struggle.
