Hello, my name is Shirley and I was the language assistant at San Agustin, school. First of all, let me start by saying the connections between the colleagues were all based on respect and equality. Since day one I felt very welcomed by everyone around and it made me feel confident. My coordinator Ana made sure that I had access to all the resources needed in order for me to succeed. It was my first time working with adolescents and it was definitely quite the journey because I was able to learn so much from them every day. The students also played an important role in my teaching experience because they all have a special talent that literally challenged me. But those challenges allowed me to expose myself to new things and become a better language assistant. San Augustin has created an amazing community for everyone that gets the opportunity to go in and they continue to strive even during these hard times. I feel very blessed to have met my colleagues and students because they are absolutely extraordinary in every way. One thing to keep in mind is that nothing comes easy but with hard work, determination, and a good team to fall on can make any experience special. My overall experience was fantastic and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you, San Agustin teachers and students, for allowing me to take part of your journey.
