Hola Parents and Students!

My name is Wilson Juncaj and I will be your student teacher this semester. I am

very excited to work with each of you! You are about to embark on a challenging

semester as we begin the school year virtually, nevertheless, I will be here to

support you through this and help in any way that I possibly can.

A little bit about my educational background, I attended Utica Community

Schools during my K-12 educational experience. I graduated from Eisenhower High

School in 2014. After high school, I attended Macomb Community College where I

completed my general education requirements. I then transferred to Oakland

University where I am currently attending and completing my degree program.

Prior to the forced school closures due to COVID-19, I student taught Spanish 3

and 4 at Rochester High School.

My initial exposure to the Spanish language was in elementary school, as this was

one of our required specials. After taking some time off from my Spanish studies,

I decided in high school to pick up where I left off. Since high school, I have been
studying the Spanish language and culture extensively, where I took multiple

Spanish literature courses, translation classes, Spanish conversation/composition

courses, a “Spanish for First Responders” course, etc. After graduating, if COVID

permits, my plans are to travel to Colombia where I can hopefully immerse myself

into the language and culture and be able to bring back valuable information and

memorable experiences that I can one day share with my own students.

I reside with my parents in Macomb Township. During my spare time I like

reading, spending time with family, friends, and learning about different languages

and cultures around the globe.

This is going to be a wonderful opportunity for me to learn and grow in my

professional endeavors in becoming an educator. I would like to thank you for

placing your trust in me and I look forward to working with everyone.

Saludos,

Maestro Wilson Juncaj
