Butterfly Effect Language Services
"Small changes today, impact your tomorrow!"
The story behind "Butterfly Effect Language Services"
My parents relocated to New Jersey from Puerto Rico in pursuit of career advancement and better educational opportunities for their children. From the age of 7, I vividly remember my mother's determination and tenacity as she attended Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) to learn English. She was always my role model and the person I was inspired to emulate. Daily I admired her as she tirelessly navigated the challenges of being in a new country and learning a new language. No matter the obstacles, she tackled them head-on with unwavering determination. While living in Puerto Rico my mom enjoyed being a Nurse, which helped her display her heart of service and love to all mankind. She was always passionate about helping others and making people smile. Regrettably, upon her arrival in the United States, she found herself unable to pursue her calling as a nurse due to the language barrier. The decision to establish this business was significantly shaped by my mother, who has consistently served as a wellspring of inspiration and unwavering support for me.
With 18 years of experience as an educator and a certified ESL instructor, I have acquired best practices that can significantly impact my students' learning. This company not only honors my mother's legacy but also fuels my desire to empower others to become successful citizens in the United States through the language services provided. The services offered by this company are not just a service, but also a ministry. As a woman of faith, I am anchored and guided by the word of God. Proverbs 3:27 says, "Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person."
What does "The butterfly effect" mean? It represents the idea that the world is highly interconnected, so a small event can have a major impact on a much larger complex system. This concept also pays tribute to my mother's fondness for butterflies!
La historia detrás de "Servicios Lingüísticos Efecto Mariposa" Mis padres se mudaron a Nueva Jersey desde Puerto Rico en busca de avance profesional y mejores oportunidades educativas para sus hijos. Desde que tenía 7 años, recuerdo vívidamente la determinación y tenacidad de mi madre mientras asistía al Glassboro State College (ahora Rowan University) para aprender inglés. Ella siempre fue mi modelo a seguir y la persona que me inspiré a emular. Diariamente la admiraba mientras afrontaba incansablemente los desafíos de estar en un nuevo país y aprender un nuevo idioma. Sin importar los obstáculos, los abordó de frente con determinación inquebrantable. Mientras vivía en Puerto Rico, mi mamá disfrutaba ser Enfermera, lo que la ayudó a mostrar su corazón de servicio y amor a toda la humanidad. Siempre le apasionó ayudar a los demás y hacer sonreír a la gente. Lamentablemente, a su llegada a los Estados Unidos, se vio incapaz de seguir con su vocación como enfermera debido a la barrera del idioma. La decisión de establecer este negocio fue influenciada significativamente por mi madre, quien constantemente ha sido una fuente de inspiración y apoyo inquebrantable para mí.
Con 18 años de experiencia como educadora e instructora certificada de ESL, he adquirido las mejores prácticas que pueden impactar significativamente el aprendizaje de mis alumnos. Esta empresa no sólo honra el legado de mi madre, sino que también alimenta mi deseo de capacitar a otros para que se conviertan en ciudadanos exitosos de los Estados Unidos a través de los servicios lingüísticos que brinda. Los servicios que ofrece esta empresa no son solo un servicio, sino también un ministerio. Como mujer de fe, estoy anclada y guiada por la palabra de Dios. Proverbios 3:27 dice: "Nunca te alejes de alguien que merece ayuda; tu mano es la mano de Dios para esa persona". ¿Qué significa "El efecto mariposa"? Representa la idea de que el mundo está altamente interconectado, por lo que un pequeño evento puede tener un impacto importante en un sistema complejo mucho más grande. ¡Este concepto también rinde homenaje a la afición de mi madre por las mariposas!
About me...
My name is Rebecca Cruz-Guy, and I have a successful 18-year career in education. I began by earning my Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts at Camden County College, which opened the doors to my first job as a Paraprofessional in the Camden City School District in 2006. I then pursued my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Rutgers University in 2008 and proudly transitioned into the role of a Bilingual Teacher. In 2010, I furthered my qualifications by obtaining ESL, Bilingual, and Bicultural Certifications from Rowan University.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience teaching and leading students and staff from Kindergarten to 6th grade. My journey in education continued as I earned my Master's in Educational Leadership from Seton Hall University in 2013, propelling me into the roles of Vice Principal and, most recently, Principal. Over the past 11 years in administration, I have made significant contributions in both Elementary and High Schools, particularly with the Special Education student population.
I am an alumna of the RELAY Graduate School of Education and an active member of the NJPSA-New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association.
