TV's Global Understanding Part !

As a minority in this country, I struggled to fit in and be a part of the whole community without being judged or view differently. When I was growing up, I thought be the same like everyone else in the ways they dress, talk, the style, the music they listen to and the tradition they practice would let me be who I am. I later learned that diversity is what makes United States more unique than other countries. My differences in culture and traditions contribute to the beauty of our country. People seek for different things other than their own to gain more knowledge. I haven't been to any country where Asian, Italian, American, Mexican, and many other restaurants are on the same shopping block. A country with so many races and culture in a classroom.

Growing up as a minority was hard, however, it strengthen my understanding and empathy for others. I will carry this strength into my classroom as a teacher for a multi-culture environment. I respect the difference in perspectives base on culture, ethnic, and religion. I don't want my students to feel a need to change who they are but rather encourage them to be proud that they are different for the class and I will learn and vice versa. I will listen with a sincere heart and empathize to their misbehavior for I need to know where they came from and how they were brought up. I also need to be sensitive to their needs and differences.
