Dr. Mae hat I have read about Dr. Mae was that she wanted to try to know about everything that got her attention. She always wanted to help anyone that wanted to learn about something that they thought that would help them to want to try. She knew that there was people that thought about doing things just didn't know how to get help. I know that the more you want the more you know. Just remember that the more you learn the more you know.

his short story is about my amazing family and how they have supported me through the good times and the toughest times. I will also talk a little about my educational journey. Let’s get into are Time Machine and journey back in time to when I was 5 years old. I was that daredevil kid trying crazy stunts on my bikes and skateboards. I played soccer everyday in elementary school. Education was my least favorite part of school because I have dyslexia and I had speech problems. I had always enjoyed school because of sports and socializing. Here is a fun memory of the first time my tried to punish me : On a beautiful hot summer day with the temperature around 90 degrees and When I was five years of age. I was at soccer practice having a good time. When practice ended I was suppose to go straight home. I decided to go hangout with my friends. So I ended up being three hours late. I was walking trying to think of a reason why I was late. I got to the end of the driveway, and saw my parents waiting at the front door. I knew I was in big trouble and no idea what to say to them. I did the walk of shame up to my parents then asked me: Parents: Asked why are you three hours late?!?!?!?

I said : There was a big snowball that came out of the sky and hit me on the head and knocked me out!

I thought to myself “REALLY”! Is the best thing to say when its 90 degrees out side? I knew I was getting into trouble. My parents looked at each other and you could see that they were trying to hold back their laugher .My dad step behind my mom so I wouldn’t see him laughing. So I avoided getting punished. They said not to be late again. They let me know how worried they were about me. As a child, I learned to appreciate my parent because they’re always trying to protect and teach me wrong and right. My sister and I really didn’t hangout much as kids because they’re always reading books and I was always playing sports. We knew that we were always there for each other. In elementary school there was a boy picking on my sister so I stepped in to

Dr. Mae Jemison. She always wanted to help anyone that wanted to learn about something...

The brain is for thinking. We process information in the front of the brain. We need to talk slowly. We need to be patient. We need to sing with them. They learn more when they sing and play. Play is a form for learning. The class was in English. It was difficult! They put the information on the board. It was easier for me to read. When they talked it was more difficult.

Back to School School for me has been very challenging but at the same time I've also been learning so much. It's been years since I stepped in a classroom. I never thought going back to school would of been in my future. But now that I am I'm glad I made that move. I've been learning so much and growing. I hope of getting it all down.
