Mi nombre es Sheyla D\u00edaz, tengo 22 a\u00f1os y actualmente estoy en mi \u00faltimo semestre en BMCC. Nac\u00ed en la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana y viv\u00ed all\u00ed hasta los 14 a\u00f1os, durante los cuales asist\u00ed a 5 instituciones educativas diferentes, incluyendo 4 p\u00fablicas y un colegio privado. Mi experiencia educativa en la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana abarc\u00f3 hasta el primer a\u00f1o de bachillerato (noveno grado en los Estados Unidos).<\/span><\/p>\n A los 15 a\u00f1os, llegu\u00e9 a los Estados Unidos y despu\u00e9s de dos meses en la ciudad de Nueva York, al finalizar el verano, inici\u00e9 el proceso de matriculaci\u00f3n en una nueva escuela. En la primera escuela a la que asist\u00ed, intentaron ubicarme en el octavo grado, a pesar de que correspond\u00eda al d\u00e9cimo grado seg\u00fan el sistema educativo dominicano. Posteriormente, en la segunda escuela a la que asist\u00ed y donde finalmente me gradu\u00e9, solo me quitaron un a\u00f1o, aunque a\u00fan considero que dos a\u00f1os menos fue demasiado. M\u00e1s tarde, me di cuenta de que muchos de mis compa\u00f1eros tambi\u00e9n enfrentaron desaf\u00edos similares.<\/span><\/p>\n Mi rendimiento acad\u00e9mico experiment\u00f3 un cambio significativo despu\u00e9s de comenzar mis estudios en los Estados Unidos. Aunque siempre he tenido dificultades para concentrarme en clase, al llegar aqu\u00ed, me esforc\u00e9 m\u00e1s por mejorar mi rendimiento acad\u00e9mico y le dediqu\u00e9 m\u00e1s tiempo a mis estudios. Aunque la concentraci\u00f3n a\u00fan es un desaf\u00edo, me gradu\u00e9 de la escuela secundaria durante la pandemia y comenc\u00e9 mi traves\u00eda en BMCC.<\/span><\/p>\n Inicialmente, opt\u00e9 por una carrera en psicolog\u00eda, pero debido a problemas de salud mental e indecisi\u00f3n, decid\u00ed tomar un descanso de un semestre. Despu\u00e9s de investigar y reflexionar sobre mis intereses y habilidades, encontr\u00e9 mi pasi\u00f3n en la carrera de Lenguaje Moderno con especializaci\u00f3n en traducci\u00f3n e interpretaci\u00f3n al espa\u00f1ol. Regres\u00e9 a la universidad con renovada energ\u00eda y determinaci\u00f3n para completar este proceso.<\/span><\/p>\n Actualmente, estoy trabajando en el campo educativo con ni\u00f1os, lo cual ha despertado mi inter\u00e9s en la posibilidad de trabajar en la educaci\u00f3n o la salud, espec\u00edficamente en traducci\u00f3n. Aunque a\u00fan no estoy segura de cu\u00e1l ser\u00e1 mi pr\u00f3ximo paso, estoy segura de que mi futuro profesional estar\u00e1 vinculado al \u00e1mbito de los idiomas, ya que me gustar\u00eda trabajar con m\u00e1s de dos idiomas, incluyendo ingl\u00e9s y espa\u00f1ol.<\/span><\/p>\n Ingl\u00e9s<\/p>\n My name is Sheyla D\u00edaz, I am 22 years old, and I am currently in my last semester at BMCC. I was born in the Dominican Republic and lived there until the age of 14, attending 5 different educational institutions, including 4 public schools and one private school. My educational experience in the Dominican Republic extended up to the first year of high school (ninth grade in the United States).<\/p>\n At the age of 15, I arrived in the United States, and after two months in New York City at the end of the summer, I began the enrollment process at a new school. In the first school I attended, they tried to place me in the eighth grade, even though I should have been in the tenth grade according to the Dominican education system. Later, in the second school I attended and where I eventually graduated, they only took away one year, although I still consider two years less to be too much. Later on, I realized that many of my peers faced similar challenges.<\/p>\n My academic performance underwent a significant change after starting my studies in the United States. Although I have always had difficulty concentrating in class, upon arriving here, I made a greater effort to improve my academic performance and dedicated more time to my studies. Although concentration is still a challenge, I graduated from high school during the pandemic and began my journey at BMCC.<\/p>\n Initially, I opted for a major in psychology, but due to mental health issues and indecision, I decided to take a one-semester break. After researching and reflecting on my interests and skills, I found my passion in the Modern Language major with a specialization in translation and interpretation in Spanish. I returned to college with renewed energy and determination to complete this process.<\/p>\n Currently, I am working in the field of education with children, which has sparked my interest in the possibility of working in education or health, specifically in translation. Although I am not yet sure what my next step will be, I am certain that my future profession will be linked to the field of languages, as I would like to work with more than two languages, including English and Spanish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Espa\u00f1ol Mi nombre es Sheyla D\u00edaz, tengo 22 a\u00f1os y actualmente estoy en mi \u00faltimo semestre en BMCC.
