  I have really enjoyed being part of FNED 246 with my professor because it gave me more knowledge about how to be a better role model for my future students. Reading Aria shows me how to use my second language to help students feel welcomed and confident in who they are. I would want my students to know that they should feel safe speaking in their native language because nothing is wrong with being a little different. In a classroom I wouldn’t want my students to feel discouraged or separated from their peers who speak only english. I would encourage my students to work together regardless of a language barrier. There is always another way to help bilingual students feel welcomed and learn ways to understand and help one another. A video that stood out to me is “Precious Knowledge” because I never knew that ethnic studies were banned. It honestly scared me to see that society doesn’t want students to learn their real culture and instead be americanized. It truly broke my heart to see the teachers and students fight for their rights to learn their own culture's history and still be brought down by a white man with power. I still hope in the future the education system changes and realizes that students should have a voice in picking what they want to learn. Students shouldn’t be treated like puppets instead they must use students' strengths to build a better education system that will actually help them learn how to become a better role model for themselves. I hope to use what I learned from all my readings and videos to help become a better future art educator to assist students in becoming more aware of their surrounding and how to make learning fun and build a relationship with my students for a better understanding of where they are coming from so that I can help them become a better student.

 Reading “Aria” the author stated, “But my father was not shy, I realized, when I'd watch him speaking Spanish with relatives. Using Spanish, he was quickly effusive. Especially when talking with other men, his voice would spark and flicker. Rare was alive with sounds. In Spanish, he expressed ideas and feelings he rarely revealed in English. With firm Spanish sounds, he conveyed confidence and authority English would never allow him.”. It makes me angry that the nuns in her school came into their house to speak with her parents because they thought she wasn’t doing a good job speaking English just because she speaks Spanish with her parents. At first yes it was a great idea because her parents wanted what was best for their children and they helped by changing to speaking English. However, I know for a fact that not every Hispanic or Spanish-speaking family has an easy life. I know personally my dad went through a lot to try and give me a better future and he works in construction...

Growing up I always went to public or charter schools, so my classmates would always be hispanic, black, etc.. I never felt alone because I always shared a connection somehow with each student because of our cultural background. My teachers would sometimes be white, but I never paid attention because they were always so nice and understood their students. However, when I came to my first year in college at URI my perspective quickly changed about how the education environment made me feel. I went to all my classes and most of the time I was the only hispanic girl in my class apart from all the white students. I never felt comfortable talking to my white professor because I...
