I am a freshman taking five classes here at SUNY Westchester Peekskill. I would want to see an educated world along with everyone having a healthy mindset and to help/give back to my community. As I was thinking about how I could help makethisbecome a reality I decided I would become an elementary school dual language teacher to help educate children from an early age so they can have a great future when they’re older. Teaching has been one of the careers that I have always wanted since I was younger when I played school and I pretended to be the teacher. SUNY Westchester Peekskill has helped me realize that teaching is what I want to do. Some advantages of taking classes at SUNY Westchester Peekskill are: a convenient distance (close to home); very diverse, meaning that youcan meet/ interact with both students and staff from different places; andtheprofessors are very helpful and understanding, meaning that they will always help you even if they taught the lesson the same day. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity to continue to learn along with the ability to help and inspire others in my community. ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Madelin Ruballos. Actualmente soy estudiante de artes liberales y ciencias sociales. Soy un estudiante de primer año que actualmente toma cinco clases aquí en SUNY Westchester Peekskill. Me gustaría ver un mundo educado junto con todos que tengan una mentalidad saludable y ayudar/devolver a mi comunidad. Mientras pensaba en cómo podía ayudar a que esto se convirtiera en realidad, decidí que me convertiría en maestra de doble lenguaje en la escuela primaria para ayudar a educar a los niños desde una edad temprana para que puedan tener un gran futuro cuando sean mayores. La enseñanza ha sido una de las carreras que siempre he querido hacer desde que era más pequeña cuando jugaba a ser maestra. SUNY Westchester Peekskill me ha ayudado a darme cuenta a lo largo del camino de que la enseñanza es algo que quiero hacer. Algunas de las ventajas de tomar clases en SUNY Westchester Peekskill son: una distancia conveniente (cerca de casa); muy diverso, lo que significa es que puede conocer/interactuar tanto con estudiantes como con personal de diferentes lugares y los profesores son muy serviciales y comprensivos; y lo que significa que siempre me ayudan, incluso si enseñaron la lección el mismo día. Estoy muy agradecida de que me hayan dado esta oportunidad de seguir aprendiendo junto con la capacidad de ayudar e inspirar a otros en mi comunidad. Spring 2025 Web Design Certificate–64Hrs
