Personal Narrative: Becoming A Teacher Assistant
In My Heart
Today, I wake up and can’t believe this was my life. I was becoming a man of compassion and courage. As a warrior, I fought in the Vietnam War against the North Vietnamese Communists from 1972 to 1975. As a humanitarian, I helped the teachers heal the struggling students at the Yorba Middle School from 1999 to present.
After the South lost the Vietnam War to the North on April 30, 1975, I looked for a way to go to the United States of America. In 1981, I crossed the Pacific Ocean in a wooden boat to come to America to seek freedom. Then, I upgraded my mathematical knowledge and skills at San Jose State University. I admired Descartes and Newton, who desperately dedicated their lives for mathematics. For my mathematic passion, I believed that science and technology build upon the foundation of mathematics. Earning good grades in the math courses, I gained the competence of …show more content…
Connor asked me to be his teacher assistant. This event began a long journey of learning, teaching, and discoveries, and this journey continued for the rest of my life, in a teaching direction. I trained myself at San Jose State University at the age of thirty. Becoming a teacher assistant has intrigued me from my dream of being a teacher and excitements of teaching that I could imagine.
Becoming a teacher assistant makes a difference to the learning of my students, and my commitment displays the gentleness and kindness. Together, Mr. Connor and I taught the eighth graders math. We’ve been together as a team for six months, so we are friendly and productive. Still, I’ve been surprised by some ways our students have changed since we managed the classroom. Just one example: The students were at the third-grade of math since we have known them. But now they learn the beginning algebra which is a category of an eight-grade math. And, amazingly, now they understood the concept of slope of a
