A Teacher Who Impacted My Life

Coming into high school was amazing because it was nice to experience, a whole new school setting. But in reality my first year was the worst year. I lost my grandfather along with three uncles, and it shook my whole year. The fact that i am still in school is outstanding, when i look upon it. The most difficult obstacle for me was getting back on track after what i went through my freshman year high school.

Ah, Junior High. Those awkward years between sixth and ninth grade when I had no earthly idea what to do with myself. I remember them well. I had to get used to being in a school that wasn’t an elementary school, the way older kids were acting, and how things were in my new school.

There are two people that have significantly impacted my life, my parents. From the warmth of a hug to the sternness of a talk they have always been there. The softness of there hands or not so soft hands when I needed a hand to either get off the ground, or to cross the streets. The care in there eyes when I needed a band-aid, or when I was sick, or sad. The goodnight kiss and hug they give me before going to bed. The protection I felt when I was scared or when there was conflict. The taste of a good home cooked meal. Most of all the smell of my mom and dads perfume and cologne, why does it still smell so good!

That year was grueling to get through but as the days went by I started to get used to the different feelings I was experiencing daily in mylofe. This was a life lesson to me, it made me tell myself constantly that “I have to be a good person no matter what comes my way”, I cannot stoop to such a low level of selfishness of only making myself happy and not people that surround me. It shaped me into the thoughtful young man I am today. During my first year at Mary Carroll High School, I felt like everyone was identical to me, no one had an impact on me in a star stunning way at all, until I switched schools to Branch Academy. Here, it feels like I found my inner self, I feel untroubled and I can get used to the people here, met my girlfriend here and I instantly connect with

There is a quote that I have embraced during my professional journey I like that state, “The influence of a good teacher can never be erased”. As a product of the Muscogee County School district, my life mirrors that statement. If it were not for my awesome teachers I would not be the person and teacher I am today. Growing up poor, I lived in Wilson Apartments and attended Fox Elementary School. It was my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Vignery that ignited my passion to become a teacher. She would always hold my hand and made me feel loved despite my many issues. As a result, I wanted to pass this love to my students. I cannot remember not one single thing that she taught me, but I will never forget how she made me feel. I find myself holding

Learning can be difficult, especially in a class like history, but lucky for me my 7th , 10th , and 12th grade teacher made history one of my favorite classes. Coach Fowler is the best teacher and coach that I have ever had. He really knew how to make class fun and keep me focused. He was also my football Coach, which also resulted in me wanting to do good and act right in his classroom. He knew when to joke, and he also knew when to take things serious. Having a teacher and also a football coach that you look up to and respect really encourages you to do good and not let him down.

The first 9 weeks of my sophomore year I started out Marion High School. I did not like that school very much because the kids were always fighting in the halls and smocking in the bathrooms. It was very hard to make it to class on time because the school is so big. I ended up moving back to Mississinewa.

Freshman year I was shy and never really stepped out of my comfort space. I thought I was prepared for high school. I signed up for two honors class thinking that they would be hard but I knew I could figure them out. Reality was quickly thrown into my face.

High School was not something I was good at, let me be honest I was a bad student. I skipped classes and didn’t do my assignments. I got into a bad relationship that hurt me and I got into drugs that made me feel numb. At that time my family and I didn’t have a connection; they were just people I saw at home. My mom worked most of the time and my dad went out every night while my sister was being diagnosed with schizophrenia and was dating a boyfriend who was her caretaker; you could say my family was not a family. When I had to get sober and become an independent young adult I chose to go to the University of River Falls. When I started there I was so happy to be on my own and to be three hours away from the dysfunctional thing I called a family. The first week there went wonderful, I loved the fresh air and the trees and I got along with my roommate so well. I was also excited to go home and see my mom, my parents are separated, and tell her all the great things about my independence.

A person that has had a profound impact on me during my time here at Virginia Commonwealth University is Rachel Wasilewski. Rachel is the Senior Recruiter for the School of Engineering. I first met Rachel after I received an email from the Welcome Center in the School of Engineering, requesting volunteers to help run Open House for prospective students and their families. She was one of the first staff members at VCU that shaped my collegiate experience in a positive manner. Over the past three years and 13 Open Houses later, I have gotten very close to her and have developed a very meaningful relationship. I chose to write about Rachel because she has provided me with the guidance and support needed to persevere through the grueling years

I was seventten going eighteen, and I never once sat in a classroom, but I was thrown into high school to suffer. Both my brother, that I was older then for two years, and I were in the same class. The great thing about that was I look three years young for my age, so people mistook him to be my twin. To summaries everything high school was touch for me, but I still managed to graduate with good GPA and two

my absences. I couldn’t ditch anymore and when I did we ended up in court. The school

Freshman year of hs was a bad time for me. A month after starting at Cardozo hs I was then attacked by this loudmouth person. I was on the way to Algebra from gym class when a random person came up to me and acted like an animal. He was getting loud with me over

Someone Who Has Influenced My LifeI am writing an essay for my English class and keep getting an E what am i doin wrong?

For some reason or another certain students are drawn to particular teachers while other students are more fond of others. In my life I have studied under three memorable teachers. Teachers with which I was able to connect, to laugh, to share my misgivings. While I may have been close with each of these teachers, it is very clear, in retrospect, that each was very unique, and represented an entirely different class of teacher.
