Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, people of color have entered higher education and professions, settings previously occupied almost exclusively by white people.\u202fMany schools and workplaces and universities, however, continue to lack diversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGrowing up, for example, I absolutely loved science, specifically chemistry,\u201d said Alex Margarito, a 2019 alumnus of UW Bothell\u2019s School of STEM<\/a>. \u201cBut I never considered it as a career because I had believed that STEM fields were reserved only for white people \u2014 and that was largely because I only ever had white professors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you don\u2019t see people who look like you in certain spaces, you tend to think it\u2019s because people like you don\u2019t belong there,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That perception began to change after he entered higher education, first at Cascadia College and then UW Bothell, two institutions on a shared campus that is known for its diversity. At UW Bothell, for example, approximately 60% of students identify as people of color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both as a college graduate and as a high school teacher now, Margarito knows from firsthand experience that receiving an education in a diverse\u202fenvironment can make a profound impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening parameters of possibility<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, 77% of elementary and secondary science and engineering educators are white. \u201cBecause I had never seen a teacher of color, I assumed that people like me didn\u2019t go on to become teachers, that just wasn\u2019t the work we did,\u201d said Margarito. \u201cIt never crossed my mind as a possibility.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So instead of pursuing a career in chemistry, after graduating from high school Margarito started working at Target. \u201cI wasn\u2019t in the best place. I was hanging with the wrong crowd and getting into trouble,\u201d he said. \u201cI really had no outlook on my life.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的re he met the woman who would become his wife \u2014 the person who pushed him to go back to college and \u201ccompletely changed my life and made me who I am today,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, three years after graduating from high school, Margarito started his journey in higher education at Cascadia College. At that point, however, he still was not planning on a career in STEM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until a few quarters passed that I started considering it,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause then I had been taught by multiple professors who looked like me. That was what ultimately gave me the confidence to enroll in science courses and pursue my passion for chemistry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pursuing a career in chemistry<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Margarito finished his two-year program at Cascadia in 2017 and then enrolled at UW Bothell, where he met Dr. Dan Jaffe, a professor in the School of STEM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margarito took atmospheric chemistry <\/strong>with Jaffe his first year at the University. Jaffe was so impressed with Margarito\u2019s performance that he offered him a job as a research assistant. \u201cAlex was a strong student and energetic in our research lab. He did some very interesting research with the city\u202fof Seattle on indoor air pollution<\/a>,\u201d Jaffe said. \u201cAnd everyone on my team found him to be a fun student to work with.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 pollution research was in response to wildfires in summer 2019. \u201cI monitored air quality and analyzed the data as part of a city pilot project to offer residents a fresh air oasis at some community centers,\u201d Margarito said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 two years prior \u2014 2017 and 2018 \u2014 had been the worst years on record in the West. My research hopefully helped give the city better information about health risks, monitoring equipment and the benefits of enhanced filtering.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margarito and his work made an impression on staff at the city and helped lead to a job offer from Seattle\u2019s Department of Parks & Recreation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was my first job out of college, and I wouldn\u2019t have gotten it without Dr. Jaffe,\u201d Margarito said. \u201cHe made a really big impact on my life and gave me confidence to pursue a career in STEM.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming full circle in education<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After receiving his bachelor\u2019s degree in Chemistry, Margarito went on to also get a Master of Education degree at the Seattle campus of the University of Washington. And with that accomplishment, he said, he can both work in chemistry \u2014 and make a difference for the next generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI now teach chemistry at Juanita High School,\u201d he said. \u201cI am that teacher of color I never had, breaking down barriers and showing students like me that they do belong and can succeed in STEM careers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he does so, in part, by being open and honest with his students. \u201cI don\u2019t sugarcoat or hide anything from them,\u201d he said. \u201cI tell them that it will be hard, because it will be, but I also tell them they can achieve anything they set their mind to as long as they have the right resources, grit and perseverance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been a teacher for three years now, Margarito has witnessed firsthand the impact he is making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have this one student whose family really struggles financially. 足彩app哪个是正规的 student told me that his parents tell him not to go to college and to just work because they need the money,\u201d he said. \u201cOne day he told me straight up, \u2018Mr. Margarito, you are the reason why I don\u2019t want to do that. If you can do it, I can do it, too. You showed me that it\u2019s possible.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo hear that directly from a student is powerful,\u201d Margarito said. \u201cI don\u2019t have to wonder whether I am making a difference. I know that I am.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

Removing barriers to success<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Margarito\u2019s own background as a non-native English speaker also informs his approach to communicating with students, he said, recalling his experience in first grade when he was pulled aside for lessons in English as a second language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we took our language and reading test at the end of the year, I went from not being able to speak the language to having the best reading score in the class,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up, Margarito was taught that assimilating was a necessity for succeeding in life. Even his first name, Alex, is an Americanized version of his father\u2019s name, Alejandro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll my life, my dad had been telling me to assimilate, to sound white and act white, so that I didn\u2019t have to struggle the way that he did,\u201d Margarito said. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the reason why I pushed myself so hard to learn the language and to not have an accent.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his classroom, however, Margarito said he enjoys meeting students where they are and speaking conversationally with them \u2014 whether that means using slang and less formal ways of speaking that students from low-income areas might be more comfortable with or switching to speaking in Spanish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving as a role model<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow that I\u2019m in a place where I\u2019m in a position of authority and I\u2019m a role model for these students,\u201d Margarito said, \u201cI really wanted to make it apparent that you can speak the way you want to speak and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the diverse Lake Washington School District, Juanita High School has a population of students who speak 59 different primary languages in their homes. At least eight languages are spoken among Margarito\u2019s students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure his students are not left behind in any way because of language, Margarito provides assignments and other documents in multilingual formats whenever possible. He also enables a translation feature on his classroom smart board to provide Spanish subtitles as he speaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while not all teachers do these things yet, he said, these practices are becoming common as educators seek new ways to make classrooms more inclusive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to the future of his own career, Margarito said he plans to one day teach at the college level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family tree grows new roots<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile I still have dreams of where I want go,\u201d he said, \u201cI think it\u2019s important to also reflect on how far I have come.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that his parents are from a small town in Mexico that doesn\u2019t have electricity. \u201cMy family came from nothing. My parents were living on the streets at seven years old, selling a variety of things to get by. 足彩app哪个是正规的y never graduated from elementary school, and despite now living in the U.S., neither one of them speaks English. 足彩app哪个是正规的y struggled a lot \u2014 but always dreamed of their kids getting a good education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a first-generation college graduate, Margarito can now look forward to a better future for his children, as well. \u201cI am just happy that my family tree is never going to be the same from here on out,\u201d he said. \u201cMy kids will always have an opportunity in life, something my parents never had. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I hope that by teaching at the high school level, I can shape the family trees of my students, too, and the generations to come.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
