Asil Yassine: It's so interesting
reflecting on my own education
-
because some of the most traumatic
moments were caused by the fact that
-
I was an English language learner, um,
some of my worst memories of schools
-
were because I read something aloud
wrong, or because I didn't feel confident
-
in my writing, um, or I had struggled with
reading, um, particularly in a very public
-
audience, and so when I see my students
struggle in class, I think every educator
-
has empathy for their students because
they are just great people, um, but, I
-
often had flashbacks in the classroom of
watching a student struggle, um, with
-
reading, and then remembering my own
struggles, and so I think that connection
-
has been very important to me, and has
more than anything motivated me to
-
continue learning about how to
support them.
