Learning to Read
When I was four years old, my Dad started teaching me to read. He went through a book called "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons". Going through this book with my Dad gave me an advantage when I started going to elementary school because I already had some experience with reading. -
Starting Kindergarten
When I was five years old, I started going to kindergarten. This was the start of my formal education, and I had to get used to being away from my parents for several hours. -
Taking a Spanish Class
I took my first Spanish class when I was in sixth grade. In this class, I learned how to say numbers in Spanish and conjugate verbs in the present tense. This allowed me to communicate very basically in a second language, and I continued to take Spanish throughout middle and high school. -
Taking my First AP Test
In tenth grade, I took the U.S. Government and Politics AP test. This was my first AP test, and I would continue to take more AP tests in my junior and senior year of high school. I earned a 5 on the test, and I was able to earn some college credits. -
Learning to Drive
I earned my driver's permit in the summer after my sophomore year of high school. My Dad started teaching me how to drive. We practiced driving in the parking lots at first, and I gradually worked my way up to driving on the highway. -
Graduating from High School
In May 2019, I graduated from Wilde Lake High School. This was the end of my K-12 education. Afterwards, I would be going to college to continue my education. -
Working at Wendy's
In the summer after my senior year of high school, I applied to various part-time jobs. I was hired at Wendy's. This was my first job. It was stressful at first, and it still is stressful at times, but I have grown a lot from working there. I still work there today. -
Volunteering with Reading Partners
I started volunteering with Reading Partners for one of my classes. I was partnered with a student, and I meet with him on Zoom twice a week. During our sessions, we learn the sounds for various letters, practice sounding out words, and read books. This has given me some experience that is relevant to my future career. -
