Poetry+for+12th+Graders

My name is... Jennifer Nieves, I live in Aguada Puerto Rico and I am a mom of two beautiful children. I was raised in The Bronx New York, and since I was little; I loved to write and felt a passion when doing so. I grew up in an urban south Bronx School and being a "Latino" is not easy when there is so much mixed cultures; I started expressing myself through poems and I feel very united with a famous poet named Sylvia Plath and how she wrote poetry expressing her emotions. I feel very passionate when it comes to English and how we can help others with the language, I am a future teacher and I always visualize myself teaching and helping students that have no one to turn too. I know I will give my best and in my far future; I visualize myself being a school principal.
