The World Around us is Full of Challenges but with Strength and Encouragement One Can Do Anything In It.
From ESL Student to English Professor: A Journey of Passion and Perseverance in Writing and Teaching
My passions are to write stories and to teach the English language in universities. When I was in elementary school, I was placed with the Spanish-speaking students here in the USA, and I would only be learning Spanish. I did not like this because it would limit my future enormously. By the way, ESL is not a good choice for foreign language students. I also felt I would be falling behind with the English language. My parents and I fought hard with the system to put me in the regular English classes, and we won. I was placed in classes where they taught English only, and now here I am teaching the English language to high school and college students. I am an expert in British and American Literature as well as Creative Writing.
My passion for Creative Writing stems from winning an award in second grade for a children's book I wrote for the school's contest. My parents were so proud of me that they encouraged me to start writing at that age. I did, and now I have 20 stories in my repertoire, mostly in the horror/thriller genre, and I have also written children's books. I seek to get published and produced, and God willin,g I will. My mother taught me never to give up and to be a strong fighter with the willpower to thrive in challenging positions. I adore my mother greatly and owe all my knowledge and strength to her. My father is also a force of encouragement and tells me I can be whoever I want to be in this world as long as I work hard. They are both great, and my older sister as well. They are true examples of what it takes to make successful professionals in the USA.
I received my Certificate in Screenwriting for Film and Television from UCLA in California and my Bachelor's degree from Adelphi University in New York, Once I was done, I knew I wanted to continue with my education so I finished my Master's degree in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University in New Hampshire state and I am a member since 2021 of Sigma Tau Delta which is the International English Honors Society.
I feel I have come a long way and continue to look forward to my spiritual and professional growth and to new endeavors in my life.
