8th Grade History Teacher

D. it symbolized the fusion of Roman, German, and Christian elements which would make up medieval civilization in Europe.

Most people have or have had a teacher that has inspired them. For me, the teacher that comes to mind is Mr. Rod Edson. There are many great things that describe Mr. Edson, but a few stand out to me more than others. Mr. Edson has inspired me in many ways because he has a great sense of humor, he is laid-back, and he is motivational.

I printed out pictures of us dancing at the Best Buddies ball to keep for a memory, and sure enough it ended up taped on his desk in school. Nic is one of the sweetest and funniest kids I have ever met. The next year, I was fortunate enough to become his buddy once again. We continued to go to all of the chapter parties and dances together, and we saw each other whenever possible.

My teacher inspired me to go above and beyond my normal capabilities, and to reach out to others that were in distress. He inspired me to become a better leader, a better person, and a good role model for many kids in the classes below me. David Glasscock was his name, he is a generous man he invests in other to provide them with the tools necessary to be successful. Without his words of advice, I most likely wouldn´t be the same person that I am today.

I still remember the first time met him, it was in his second Summer OPS, but was my first summer in St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy. So, we became the roomates. He was so kind and nice, he always helped me with his smile. As an international student in a military school, he taught me how to play by the roles. In the academic area, he assisted me to fix my English pronunciation and also tutor my literature class. Individually, he always got 3.5 or above GPA; He spent one school year achieving 5 military

There journey was difficult because they had to travel over both land and water plus there where no roads during that time.

He had recently taken a job out at Old Dominion University, where he would be an assistant coach. We talked on the phone and scheduled a visit date for me to go view the campus and learn more about their wrestling and academic programs. I had already gone on visits to the University of Illinois and Northern Illinois University, but I didn't think that this college would go over well with my parents since it was so far away from home. It was a weird sensation, but I felt more at home in Old Dominion University than I did while I was on my visit to Northern, which was only a couple hours from

Rationale for Revision: The fundamental comparison in this question is the same in both versions, though in the revised question students are asked to compare only the effects of the ideologies. It is, as a result, a bit narrower in focus than the original. Teachers will need to make the connections between the ideologies and their effects explicit because they are in different sections of the Curriculum Framework.

I would like to be a Middle School History Teacher. Middle School teachers are responsible for teaching kids ages 10 to 14 in a variety of school settings. Most of Middle School teachers teach in the Public-School system or in private schools. Middle School is right between Elementary School and High School. There are two types of Middle Schools that a teacher can teach at. There is Middle School and Junior High. Middle School usually has grades 6 through 8. It can sometimes consist of grades 5 through 8. Junior High has grades 7 through 8 or grades 7 through 9. There are a variety of ways to teach in these schools. But you still need two things to get a job in this career field. You need the credentials and the education.

One year we had a lock down and I was in his room. He always had build up walls that we would set up to read in. He built up the walls and put all of us in there. When we were scared he told us jokes and made us giggle. This taught me to look on the bright side of things.

My philosophy on this is so strong because this is exactly how it happened for me. I had a very influential teacher in my freshman year of high school that changed my outlook on everything. Freshman year was a rough year; trying to adjust to high school was proving difficult for me. I was trying to figure out who my true friends were, and it wasn’t easy. I felt alone and hopeless for much of the year. However, this specific teacher saw more in me than the feelings I had. She pulled me aside one day after class to compliment me on the potential she saw I had. One compliment by one person changed my entire life course. Because of the kindness and generosity my teacher showed me in that moment, I became a happier, kinder person. I strive every day to give that same feeling of gratitude and support that my teacher provided for me in a very tumultuous time in my life, to others who may need

“If you become someone famous like a president, or someone important, I would be proud to say that I was your teacher, and I taught you how to read and write”. -Ms. Nora. (My elementary school first-grade teacher)

I had a teacher in high school that began each class with a funny story or a random fact. We, as students, looked forward to attending to his classes just to know what he had brought for us that day. He was a stern teacher, but everyone appreciated him because he showed an interest in us enjoying his classes.

We may have spent a little too much time together. Eventually, I got pregnant, nevertheless things didn’t go well. I had a miscarriage which was a very devastating time in our lives but, like they say what doesn’t break us only makes us stronger. I was depressed for a long period of time and there he stood by my side. He was there to wipe every tear from my face and held me tight when I needed it the most. It took an extent of time before things got back to how they were. This experience we went through with one another made us closer than ever. He was there for me every minute of the day. Though I know he hurt deeply inside, he stayed strong for me every step of the way and never let it show.
