My Personal Statement: My Philosophy Of Becoming A Teacher

Growing up with an immigrant mother was never easy for me to get the help I needed because my mother really couldn’t help me with homework. She did try as much as she could to help and it was always known to me that I had to get good grades to keep going forward ,making sure I didn’t get held back for any reason .
