Monica Mariela Rodriguez

From an early age, I have been driven by a deep desire to become a teacher. From my time in middle school as an adolescent, I struggled with life outside of the classroom. What made me want to become an educator is the love, dedication, and support I received from my teachers. With their support, I flourished academically and emotionally. Seeing firsthand how much teachers have an impact on their students made me have the spark to teach and want to be that person for the child to lean on and seek help in academic and emotional areas. I am eager to bring my enthusiasm, creativity, and strong work ethic into the classroom, fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student feels valued, seen, and encouraged.
