Hello Class!! My name is Mayra Murillo I am a Child Development major I hope to go into Special Education or Speech Therapy after I receive my BA. The picture above is a picture of my first class that I ever worked with (they were my students for two years). I had already loved working with children because of the environment and being to teach them and vice versa but working with this class just sealed the deal with me wanting to fully commit to this field. But anyways, I am in this class because I have found my past Chicano classes interesting and intriguing and I pondered the idea of possibly having Chicano Studies as a minor. I hope to learn more this semester and look forward to learning about you all as well.
Hello Mayra I noticed how you said that you teach children and they teach you. I think it is very important to note that everyone is valuable and has something to contribute to society, even children. I must say spending time with kids is fun from time to time but deciding to dedicate my life to them seems like a big demand. I wish you the best of luck and I think it’s worth mentioning that your time and dedication is much appreciated. Hope we can all have a great semester!
Working with them is crazy and exciting because you never know what to expect but at the end of the year and you see all they’ve learned and grown up it’s rewarding! Thank You for mentioning that this is appreciative not many will say the same! Good Luck this semester!
Hi Mayra,
I myself work with kids. Let me tell you it is a love and hate thing. I swear they can drive me insane bu it is crazy how you can really learn to love every single one that is in your class. They are amazing little humans. Like you said we learn from them as well. It really is a beautiful thing and I am so glad I was able to experience it.
I completely agree it is a love and hate thing! It amazes me how they get me upset and smiling all at once! This experience is like no other and is extremely different with each new group of kids. Good luck this semester!
