About Me.
Hello, my name is Alfredo Anthony Lomeli (Alfy).
​​
(2021)
I am currently on the road to becoming a high school history teacher. Once I finish with Ivytech, I will transfer to IUPUI to finish my education. I had the idea of becoming a teacher when I got the opportunity to teach a couple of classes in high school. History has been an interest of mine, and I would occasionally read my textbooks for fun.
​
Other than that, I am currently working in customer service at the Indianapolis airport to pay for my classes. School, especially college, has been a rocky road for me. As you will see if you read my Educational Autobiography, under classroom artifacts. However, I kept persevering.
​
I am Autistic. I was diagnosed in the 6th grade. I do not feel that it is something I need to hide. Unfortunately, I have experienced some prejudice because of it, but I do not let that stop me.
​
Lastly, I am a very kind and helpful person. I've been told numerous times by friends about how nice I am and even how the "nice" trait seems to be something disappearing these days. I like watching documentaries about almost any subject. Reading is also a hobby of mine, and you might find me at a "Half-Price Books" once in a while. I like to collect stuff, especially records and newspapers, among other things.

​
I was able to graduate from Ivy Tech in the summer of 2024 with a General Education degree. I transferred to IUI, formerly IUPUI, that same year, choosing to major in Social Studies education. Although it was an adjustment going from community college to a bigger school, I overcame that obstacle and, through all my hard work, passed all my classes with high enough grades to make it to the Dean's List. My second semester of IUI is where my goal of becoming a teacher can come to fruition. I have started taking the necessary classes to student teach, and as you will see in my reflections, I am enjoying it. I have also expanded my philosophy of education through my participation in "Mirror Works" by Dr. Erica Buchanan-Rivera.
​
I currently work at the IUI Information Desk, where I can learn more customer service and organizational skills that will help me in the classroom.
