When I first started as a teacher assistant in 2017, I was scared; I did not know what to expect, but soon I realized that this was not only my job it was my passion to help these children and their p... arents. I realized that my desire is to help those in need despise all things I have encountered. Since then I have switched from career paths but every day at work it it is inspiring to see little minds grow and perfect themselves. I just sit and think how amazing it would be to help adults, marriages, and families achieve the same goals they once had as children. Even us as adults need other adults to guide us through this crazy world; and together we make the world a better place. One day one of my kindergarten students said: “Mrs. Díaz I want to be just like you when I grow up.” This really touched my heart! I have seen so many different types of families and situations and especially this child came from a rough situation. Seeing that she saw hope in me; that life is not bad after all it gave me the strength to keep pushing forward and keep helping others. It is my desire to leave my mark in this world and throughout the years I have learned that you do that by helping those who need your hand in their darkest times. Being a teacher assistant taught me that is not all about grades and how many skills you have; it is about putting all your effort in what your heart desires and them knowing they can change the world with just one act of kindness at a time. read more

Hi! I'm Yachira. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico (currently living in CT), and am now attending the Liberty University to pursue a (PhD) degree in Developmental Psychology. I have been mentorin... g since I was in High School, where my best friend and I noticed we had the capability to become church leaders and guide our youth into the right pathway. My ultimate goal is to continue as a mentor who helps students enhance subject mastery by building student's confidence in Spanish. It is evident that many Spanish has become the most spoken language around the world. I believe by relearning key concepts and practicing subject confidence, students will no longer need my tutoring sessions and will be able to head out into the world confidently speaking spanish.read more
