HI Colleagues,
My name is Roxanne Alfred and I have been a school teacher for the past 17 years.I am the mother of a beautiful 16 year old daughter, Reneece.My career as a teacher began began in Tobago where I was born and grew up.I started living in Trinidad in 1997, when I attended Valsayn Teachers' College.
I stayed in Trinidad to attend the university after graduating from training college.I believe that I have made the right decision because I have developed myself in many areas and I enjoy living on my own rather than home, with my mummy and her strick rules. I spent most of my year with my grandmothmother and father.Both were my life line.They both passed away and this has been a great set back in my life because they were my inspiration, my pipeline . My dad died in 1999 and granny aI called her passed away in January of this year.
Further, I love being a teacher .It is my dream career.Being in the classroom is a great joy for me even when I am not in a good mood. I love being a teacher. However, self elevation is important and as such,I intend to move on a bit to achieve my Phd in literacy ,all in an effort to develop the level of literacy in my country.My aim is to make a difference in the lives of the individuals who struggle academically. This is my dream.
Roxanne I would like to comment on your post and though it may appear at first glance that it is not orthodox academia,nevertheless,I fully recognise that a true understanding of yourself and your perspective is a key aspect to achieving your goals.Good luck and I believe that you will persevere!
