Hello everyone, my name is Jesica Rodriguez. I am 21 years old and Mexican/American. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I have a dog. His name is Salchicha. My outside interest is taking a walk with my dog at Prospect Park. Some of my other interests are traveling, spending time with my friends and family, and music. Well, traveling is something that I would like to do more going forward in my life because it is something that I will enjoy. Like exploring new places, trying new things, different activities, food, learning about other cultures.
I am majoring in early childhood education. The reason why I chose to major in that major is that as I grew up I have been babysitting up until now and on my siblings. I have a total of four younger siblings. I have always wanted to know more about children and other skills as becoming a teacher I will need to use one day when I’m in a classroom full of kids. As well I always like seeing children smile, laugh and I want to make a change for the children and teach them the right way.
I’m taking this course because it’s a requirement for my major but overall I’m excited to take this course and to learn more about women and their history. To hear and learn more about other women whose voice was not heard or maybe someone who I might not know about, or learn more accomplishments others do and hear what was the reason for them to speak up and make a change in this world.
Hii Jessica, similar to you I enjoy spending quality time with family, as well as traveling. I enjoy trying out new restaurants and eating several kinds of food. I love being adventurous and outgoing. Also I think it’s dope that you are majoring in Childhood Education!!!
Hi Jessica, I love that you enjoy spending time with your dog! I recently moved to the city and Prospect Park is a place I go to often. It’d be so nice if I had a dog to take there! Your choice of major is really interesting to me, I think it’s really important that we have good educators for children.
Great! Children are fun and they are also great for learning about gender. Because many of them have no concept of gender, they are often much freer and understand and explore the gender spectrum. My nephews and nieces have taught me a lot about gender. So I think this course will be really useful in your carer, too!
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for sharing with us. I recently discovered my love for travel and is also something I want to do going forward in my life. I always liked going to new places but going to DR over winter break made me realize how different life is everywhere else and I want to experience the cultures. Childhood education was something I was interested in pursuing when I was younger as well but decided it was too much to handle for me lol. Hopefully it works out for you!!
