Know me....

I am Miriam Vidaurri a junior(I think so??). I am from Mexico born and part raised over there. When I was 12th my family moved to the Coachella Valley (Palm Spring area, but the poor part..:). . I believe I am fortune to be here because I have value more what I have. Also with my education I want to change things that affect my Latino community. My family consists of my parents, 2 sons, and 3 daughters. I am the oldest of the daughters, but the second of the siblings.  I attended elementary school in Mexico, and Middle and High school in the US. I attended Toro Canyon Middle School and Desert Mirage High School located in the middle of nowhere and surround just by vegetables fields and grape fields. During High School my main focus was to learn as much English as I could and Graduate, college was far away from my goals. I do not how but by the summer of 2008 I was here in CSUSM, just 2 months after high school graduation. Now, I am in my third year pursuing a career as an Elementary teacher. I work as a tutor at Vista High School. Life has been full of challenges but I keep going and hope to one day have my dream classroom.


Technology!!! I love it because it is a useful way to keep me in touch with my family. However I am nothing near expert in technology. I hate that it is super complicated and that every minute is becoming more and more..... Let me Breath!!!... I want to know more about all the tricks in tech. in the future I want to be able to use technology in my classroom in the best way to benefit my students because I think they are going to know more than me..LOL.. The class is going to help me accomplish this goal.. well I hope so :)


The last part of the mission statement is powerful it attracts what I really stand for. I like how is dedicated to improve, education by creating a diverse teacher, professional, decided to collaborate, and center towards education. The statement really touches me because it presents the believes I have as a future teacher for education.
