Hi Everyone, my name is Alexis Marquez Bernal and I am a Junior at Texas State University. I recently became a Education major primarily focusing on elementary 3rd or 4th grade bilingual teaching. I chose this career path because I love working with children, I originally was majoring in social work to be able to work with kids but after careful consideration and a lot of reflecting i decided that teaching was more of my calling and that i could also make a difference in children’s lives by helping them work towards being successful. I was also motivated by one of my teachers back in 4th grade, even though it has been a long time I still remember who she was and the way she used to run our class and I hope to one day be like her with my own students.
My overall goal is to one day become a school counselor and move up to middle school and for that I want to first learn and practice how to be an educator. I want to teach 4th or 3rd grade in a elementary setting filled with diversity. I come from a family of latinos so growing up I struggled a lot in school due to lack of resources and support. I want to be able to be that support that students have whenever they are struggling ins school with core subjects or even personal situations such as bullying which is something that is well know in schools and I would know since I myself went through that. I also want to be able to provide resources to my students that might not have sufficient funds to help with their education. I am excited to teach every subject to my students but my favorite subject is reading. I have a library of books that i hope to one day share with my students filled with fantasy fiction to sci-fi. I am excited to meet everyone and share on here my experiences and future goals. My favorite tiktoker is @honestteachervibes i love the energy she gives out in all her videos and the laughs, you can easily tell she is such an amazing educator
