From the lived experience, in ‘Master Hands’ Cerisse has designed five programs to help children with learning difficulties.
The story of the young Cerisse Jáquez Bronte is empathic. She does not want other children to go through what she had to go through during her first years of school. Her teachers were not aware that she had dyslexia, a learning disability in literacy. She and her family didn’t know either.
The aforementioned disorder went beyond of learning. She admits it. “This caused insecurity in me, but as she got older she understood. If my teachers at that time had had more time and tools to evaluate in a particular way and validate the different ways of learning of each student, I would have had a better relationship with each subject of the school and even greater motivation. n for my development. From there, it grew. in me I want to improve myself to help other children with this problem.”
Every day the obstacles that he had to overcome were greater in order to be able to stay afloat in a classroom where other children found it easy to learn. Just remembering those moments transports her to those times and, although she cries when she recounts them, she does not allow them to take away the strength and enthusiasm that she shows with her “Master Hands”. so is called the initiative that created to help boys and girls, whom he calls: “misunderstood at an academic level”.
“You You can’t imagine what this means to me, how satisfied I feel helping those children. I did not find who would give me that friendly hand when I needed it, because I know that this requires a lot of dedication, a special education… That is why I have wanted to dedicate myself body and soul to helping in this regard.” Offering these details fills her with joy because she admits that her difficulties in learning today lead her to teach.
He does not hide how difficult it has been to have his own teaching initiative. She humbly admits that behind her efforts there is a ‘fairy godmother’. Her name is Josefa Concepción De Lara de Jáquez, her grandmother, who encouraged her to become a child. She kept her going and has accompanied her in every dream. “She helped me out. to overcome difficulties, to love art and, above all, he taught me to love me myself so that she could love and give me to others. This has helped me give children sincere love.” Talking about this also moves her. Only she knows the stones that she has had to remove from the road.
With her limitations
Cerisse knows full well about her neurodevelopmental disorder. “It is a difficulty that will be It is present throughout a person’s life, but there are ways to help boys and girls with dyslexia.” She is right in what she says and bases it on her experience implementing techniques, methods and strategies to help make these difficulties more bearable.
“I try by all means to ensure that these children who are misunderstood at the academic level discover their potential, because that is where they are. what’s up the key for them to move forward in an easier way.” there She suggests her interest in these schoolchildren not living the bitter experience that she lived. he tried hard at university to graduate in Initial Education.
Love and patience are the two “ingredients” Basic ones that he uses to get the boy or girl to make peace with certain subjects. “I try to make him understand that his relationship with mathematics or language, for example, is due to the fact that they are not giving it to him according to his needs. I try to find an attractive and fun way to teach him & rdquo ;. There is no doubt that it is with this determination that he helps them, because just by explaining the process, he can be seen feeling it and living it.
“Dyslexia has not been able to prevent me from helping others”
Cerisse Jáquez Bronte never tires of thanking God for having given him the opportunity to face his difficulties and being able to make them “the lightest load” She works with boys and girls who, like her, find it difficult to learn. At her 26 years old, she shows satisfaction with what she does and what she has achieved by using her experience to help others. She is an example of courage and solidarity.
“I had a lot of trouble with my literacy development. The teachers unfortunately put off this deficiency for two years, until it became unavoidable. At that time I had a diagnostic test that showed: a result of existing dyslexia. This is a specific learning disorder that with therapies and practices can be kept regulated to be at the academic level of the corresponding grade. But I must admit that this marked me. for life, since I dragged the gaps in school years in which most of the reading and writing processes were developed”. This makes her sad.
Late diagnosis
In Cerisse’s case, although her dyslexia was detected very late, she has always had the support of her family. “The moment my parents found out, my mother immediately started talking. I went through the therapy process and had tutors to help me get through the year during Primary. There were many times that I stayed in summer classes at school and, no matter what, As hard as I tried, it was hard. My father understood that if he made me repeat the letters that I confused in a notebook at home, everything would be solved. But, over time, she realized that it was something more complex, and she was more understanding.”
In this part, he thanks the family for their effort and patience, and admits that not all children have the same chance. There needs to be a public will to help those who live in vulnerability and have this and other learning disorders receive due help. With that she is okay.
By the time she got to high school, she was feeling much better. Of course, knowing his limitations, Cerisse asked & oacute; his mother to keep a teacher to help him in the afternoons. The tutor went twice a week. “I tried hard. much, I gave all of me and I managed to graduate with honors from high school. I think I have never seen my mother more proud of me. that she that day. Well, we are three brothers, and she corrects the others by setting an example for me”. She ends that quote and says: “She even makes me want to cry.”.
Upon entering the Universidad Iberoamérica, he learned that they have a program for students with some academic deficiency. “Still, I decided test me and not enter it. I can tell you that I managed to I wanted to keep my half-scholarship intact and graduate with honors from my degree, but I can’t help but say that in the last year and a half I’ve counted my money. with the support of my friend Nicole Leschhorn, who always cared. for me when he found out what was happening to me, and today we are inseparable”. She is grateful and shows it with this quote.
For everything that happened and see how it came out What goes on, as an outstanding person, is that he assures: “I feel an emotion inside and I am fighting so that each child who is misunderstood at the academic level discovers his or her potential.” To achieve this, he keeps training. In 2019 he made She has a diploma in Neuropsychology Applied to Problems in Neuropsychology and is currently studying a specialty in Educational Management and Planning.
