A good educator is very important in the life of a student since they can influence the growth of the student not only in the academic field but also in personal, social, and emotional development. In my case, Mrs. Rendon has been a very influential educator in me, since she has provided me with practical knowledge and has helped me develop a mindset of leadership and problem-solving. Mrs. Rendon has inspired me to be a better student by shaping my confidence and motivating me day after day, she helps me believe in my abilities and skills. She has guided me toward my future, she guides me and helps me see my academic options. She has helped me a lot to get involved in extracurricular activities and improve my skills in time management, organization skills, and especially in public speaking. One of the times where I had to overcome an obstacle was when Mrs. Rendon invited me to participate in the States of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), one of the participants for personal reasons could not go to participate and left her team incomplete. Mrs. Rendon asked me if I wanted to take her place and I said yes because I knew it was going to be a great learning opportunity. What that competition consisted of was that my team and we had to present to a judge how we would use social media to do marketing about a pet event. I had less than two days to prepare for the presentation, my team and I got together so they could teach me the presentation and so I would be more informed about the topic, when we were practicing, I gave my team ideas on how to improve the presentation and they liked it and we improved it with my ideas, we were practicing the presentation the whole way. This had me very nervous because we had to speak in public and this is something that thanks to Mrs. Rendon’s class I had experience because she teach us classes about public speaking. This helped me a lot and we did the presentation very well and passed to the next round. Going to the State of FBLA was a great opportunity since it was 3 days of a lot of learning. A little about me and my background, my name is Gema Hernandez, I am 17 years old, I study at Rio Rico High School, I come from a Latino family, my parents are in Mexico and I have the opportunity to study in the United States. My vocation is centered in physical therapy and occupational therapy, since I wish to help people feel well physically and mentally, giving them the opportunity to carry out their daily activities with safety and confidence. My special interest lies in working with children, helping them develop or recover the motor skills and physical strength necessary to carry out their daily tasks without worries and in the correct way. I firmly believe in the power of rehabilitation to improve quality of life, especially at early ages, when physical and mental development is crucial for a healthy and active future. For me, it is not only about teaching movement techniques, but about encouraging independence and self-confidence in my future patients, so that they grow up with the ability to face each day with enthusiasm. My goal is to contribute to children not only achieving their physical health goals, but also feeling the emotional and mental support necessary to thrive in every aspect of their life
