As time stands, I can full heartedly say that the decision to learn the violin was one decision that I will cherish for a lifetime.…

could start the work with the resources they had and how to continue to keep it moving forward. Teaching undergraduate students in North America has provided me with more perspectives about the life experiences that students bring into their learning.

While my dad was in the military, my learning difficulties were blamed on the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck at birth. However, once my father was discharged from the Army; I was finally able to go to the same school for more than one year at a time.

that the teacher holds both the power and the knowledge while the student is left to simply absorb the knowledge without giving any further thought to it. The student does not have the chance to critically think about or even question what they are learning.

Privilege means that I am going to walk with my white friends in…
