But after a moment’s chuckle he responded, “The actual reason why I choose Washington State over any other school was that I had procrastinated all…

Thinking back to my past, I realized how little exposure I had to diversity while growing up. I lived in a nice town known as Richfield, Ohio where many of the families had money. The school in which I attended, Revere Local Schools, was primarily white. There was only a small handful of African American students at my school throughout the entirety of my grade school years. The larger minority group of students was Asian American or students of Middle Eastern descent. Growing up, I often…

Throughout all of my years in school, the main thing that seemed to get harder and harder to me was writing. Writing has always been hard for me because English was never my best subject. Ever since elementary. I wasn’t a strong reader. I’ve read on a fourth grade level for as long as I can remember. Each school year English got harder, but I never gave up.

It was a small preschool in the mountains of Puerto Rico, it was where my sister had been enrolled and my mother wanted me to follow her footsteps. That was where I got my first book. The teacher made me promise to go to her school in return she gave me a…

Kim: What made you want to be a teacher? Mrs. Zulick: When my kids were younger, I spent a lot of time in their school, Theodore Roosevelt. One day the principal of the school at the time had asked me why I don’t apply for a position since I was there all the time. I applied for a position as a 1:1 aide in my son’s fourth grade room.

What am I good at is a question to ponder, however, the first think that comes to my mind is a talent that I work towards improving, golf. Every day I work towards improvement and when I think about it I also see it as my passion. In this case I think that both the mind and the heart overlap.
