Who am I?

     Hello my name is Edith Martinez; my middle name is Guadalupe that represents the name of the Jesus mother, and my first name Edith it means happy. I grew up in a big family where both of my parent’s families were living close to us. I am speaking very good Spanish of curse that is the language both of my parents speak, I also speak English. I am a Latina; I was born in Mexico City. I came to this country for the first time when It was 15 yrs old, only for 8 months then I went back to this country 12 yrs ago. The first 3 yrs I was working as housekeeping in a senior retirement hospital. I have been living in Rocklin CA for 9 yrs. For me the most important thing is family. My parents, brothers and sister live in this country. We are a close family in good and bad moment? We help each other anytime, at any moment. We make holidays, birthdays, and weekend special moments. Most of the time we get together every Sundays and Mondays to eat, play and spend time like a family. I am a person that always thinks positive, I think if bad things happen is to show us that there is more good things around us to fight for it that we can enjoy more are life with those who love us and we love it

Became a teacher is my dream and I think something that is important for a teacher is to proved kids a safe place to play, a place where they can enjoy meeting new friends and learning the differences of cultures, color, and language and more.  Another important thing is to treat every child with respect and respect their toughs.  It’s also important to include parents to the children environment such as parties, holidays, etc.

Now I am married with a wonderful man for almost 10 yrs (February, 7). I have 3 kids, two boys Pablo 15 yrs and David 5 yrs and one girl Kendra 9. I have been in school since 5 yrs ago first I took ESL classes; I also took Math and HD 1 and HD 2. Now I am taking English 1A, DFST 1 ASL, HD 25 and Guitar classes. This class is important for me because the diversity of cultures start in my own home, because my husband is American how do not speak any Spanish and of curse two of my kids are us. My girl speaks Spanish and English but my little boy understand Spanish but does not speak any Spanish at all. Something that my ancestors show me is that respect and help those who need it. With love and family all the little thing are nothing, everything can change in a positive way. Live the life as it came and to enjoy the little moments with your family. Fallow my dreams is my priority and not to stop to believe in my-self. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with other children beside my own.

Something that I enjoy is to make some puzzles, play bingo, and read a book o watch a movie with my kids. I am interests in ECE and ASL. I am an open person I can listen to any kind of music Spanish or English. I love to dance salsa, cambia, rock n roll, Banda, etc.  

All I can say is that keep your mind in your goal and never stop believe in you. If you fell get up and try again. Nobody is perfect to reach their dream in the first try it.

    Good luck to everybody
