Prompt 4
My personal history and sociocultural characteristics don't intersect with my students. I guess that it might be because we all come from the same country and have the same values and culture. Everything is about culture in the Dominican Republic and there are certains things you can't do, for example, you can't talk to a person older than you in a bad way, you need to respect them, and not only that because here in America is the same, but there are other things that are part of our culture that you can't do. As a teacher of these students the advantages that I might have I think is that I can communicate with them in one way or another and they would be able to understand me, and the most important thing is that they respect me, no matter how old I am, they still respect me. So far I have confronted no misconceptions about various cultural group because all of my students come from the same culture, as I said, they are all Dominicans.
