My name is Maleah Tellado and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I grew up in Northern California in a small town called Discovery Bay, and I have been a cheerleader for the past eight years. The reason I came to RCC was to be on the cheer team! The reason I wanted to become an elementary school teacher is because I have always loved kids and wanted to work with them. I always thought being a teacher would be fun and I looked up to my teachers and the impact they made on their students. I'm excited to take this class because of the way that it's run, and I think it'll help improve my learning because it's already a stress free environment. However, what worries me about this class is I haven't taken an earth science class in a long time so I hope I can recall what I should already know.
