MY Experience
|
In high school, I was a member of the Texas Association for Future Educators or TAFE. It's a co-curricular statewide non-profit student organization. This organization allows young individuals an opportunity to explore the teaching profession. The experience and knowledge gained will help individuals make informed decisions about continuing a career in education. I was both the Secretary and Vice-President of my high school chapter. In our chapter, we would volunteer at school functions and host events. Our notable events were hosting a teacher appreciation breakfast, organizing a local toy drive, and collecting and delivering donations to Dell Children's Hospital.
At St. Edwards, I was a member of the organization Generation Citizen. Generation Citizen is a non-profit organization equipping young people by transforming civics education to inspire them to exercise their civic power. Through state standards-aligned action civics coursework, students discover engaged citizenship by experiencing real-world democracy. A celebrated event is Civics Day. Civics Day is where all the city's Generation Citizen mentees present their plans to other students, community members, and public officials to celebrate their work and gain feedback to further their efforts. It encourages students to explore ways to continue their civic engagement at the end of the program. The St. Edward's chapter worked with Huston-Tillotson University and the University of Texas chapter to mentor Austin ISD middle and high school students. Through our mentorship, students would go through five-unit coursework to later present their findings at Civics Day. Through the coursework, students recognized broad issues in their community, focused on one topic, and analyzed root causes contributing to the problem. Then students would establish a central goal for their project, reflect on who are the targets of the campaign, and select which tactics to utilize to get there. At the end of the unit, student representatives prepare for Civics Day. The topics I facilitated with students to advocate for were APD to use community-responsive practices in dealing with immigrants and new guidelines and regulations for Delta by working with school administration to raise expectations. |
