Hi, my is name Elio Renderos. The first year I attended high school at ACLC in 2016. I just came from being home schooled for 6 years, so it was a huge change. During the first year, it was an intense transition. But I can honestly say in my second year, I'm doing better because I've learned how to take advantage of my free periods and use them the most efficiently as possible. I have ADHD so it is very hard to concentrate, but the last year i've learned how to push through and work efficiency. Since the first day I came here I could see that ACLC had a different vibe to it, not a bad vibe but a positive one. Over the time I've been here, I like how everyone helps each other if needed, and people are just friendly in general. Since last year, I have developed a better self management system for myself. One example is, I went from missing all my assignments last year, compared to this year where I haven't missed a single one. Not only do I believe I have better self management, but I have been given more responsibilities, and I feel that i'm able to complete them. Personal Qualities, Work habits and Attitude Some of the personal qualities I showcase are: I believe I am a hard worker because I have held many jobs including being a sailing instructor. For example, before I became a sailing instructor, I was a junior instructor, and before that I was a student. But if I wanted to become an instructor, I had to take a number of training courses towards getting my motor boating licenses as well as my CPR certification, and it took many hours to complete but it was worth it. After I passed, I was officially an instructor so I starting working at Treasure Island Sailing Center. After doing so I took up a class of 16 students I was able to make a weekly plan, do a chalk talk, and i had to be able to execute all these thing while each student was in their individual boats and as I was in a motor boat. To add on top of all that I had to make each activity fun because I wanted my student to have fun. I would say I am very social because not only did I have to interact with the children, but with their parents as well since because they wanted to know how each one of their children were doing and how they're progressing or if they got injured. I would say I have self - management skills because i had a goal of becoming a sailing Instructor, usually if I had a goal I am able to push and reach it I don't like the thought of there being something that i won't be able to achieve if I don't put my mind to it. New Basics Some of the things i'm interested in are: Fitness and Health, Because I think everyone should be health and should exercise everyday. I also have had a lot of problems with my body so i've taken an interest towards this topic. Without keeping my body in shape I wouldn't be able to walk properly. History is another topic i'm interested in because: I have always enjoyed learning about the history of the world, Even if it's someone's family line. I understand how american society works and the diverse community we have. Thinking and reasoning I understand the importance of system thinking. When i'm teaching I understand that I need to know how to teach in these 3 styles: Kinesthetic, auditory, and visual. When I was teaching I would do a chalk talk then afterwards I would give them a worksheet that I made so they could draw or write out what I just went over. By understanding system thinking I am able to teach more efficiently to meet the need of my students. I am able to visualize whatever it is that I want to create or teach. When a student needs help on art piece, such as an idea of what they want I am able to picture it and help them create it. Interpersonal Abilities One of my interpersonal abilities is working with diverse groups of people. One example is when I taught blind people how to sail, and I was able to customize the learning environment to their needs. In my experience working at a petstore I was able to serve customers efficiently. If a customer needed information on an animal I could give them the pros and cons of this animal as well as, how to care for it. If customer needed help with carrying something to there car such as a bag of food I would help them carry it to there car. Technology In terms of technology I don't know much but i'm eager to learn more. About the only technology that I know about are, welding machines, and motorboat engines, like if the motor boat dies I have to be able to fix it. When operating a welding machine I have to know what to set the setting to, or it can affect how the weld turns out. |
