Comparing My Algebra And Clear Lake High School

For example, I would not have been able to fulfill the pillar of scholarship if it had not been for my teachers at Mediapolis, Black Hawk, and West Burlington who taught me not only how to learn, but the value of learning. They taught that one has to work hard to get anywhere in life. Furthermore, Mrs. Henderson, my Talented and Gifted teacher at West Burlington, taught me that regardless of how smart I think I am there is always more to learn. Moreover, this was an important lesson for me to learn because when I was younger I thought that I was a genius. However, now that I am in high school I know better and am very grateful for her words of wisdom. Again, it is only thanks to my wonderful teachers that I learned the value of education

Of the many classes that I chose to take, my two favorites were an English course and Health course. I may want to be a K-9 Officer, and these have few things in common with that career goal, but they were my favorite courses because of the professors who taught the course. Janice (Meredith) Privott for the English course, and Matthew Harpold for the Health course. These two teachers helped push me to better myself in almost every way. Mrs.Privott helped me on a personal level with stress and trauma; from her support she made me a much stronger person. Mr.Harpold helped me with my self-esteem, he took the time to help me when I needed it, even when I wasn’t in his class, just as Mrs.Privott did.

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

Wiest took the time to listen to my troubles and work with me outside of class. She even invited me to come drink tea in her office if I needed a break or was not feeling well. But more importantly, she helped me put everything into perspective and I made some tough decisions. I cut down on my work hours, took a few months off from orchestra, took less volunteer opportunities, and learned to prioritize my responsibilities. Mrs. Wiest also helped me with my work when I was falling behind and let me take her finals at different times to balance my work load. I panicked when everything got difficult, but she supported me. If any teacher has made an impact on me during my academic career, it was certainly Mrs. Wiest. She goes above and beyond for her students and wants everyone to succeed. With her help, I was able to succeed during a very rough

My high school art teacher, Jackie Tingle, inspired me to create and further my education in art. Through her constructive criticism and her wonderful teaching skills she easily allowed me to develop my own skills as an artist. In a world full of two-dimensional characters, I found it amazing that she was a successful artist. Before I met her, I did not know it was even remotely possible to have a career in art. To this day, I still have respect for her and how she carries herself. Even at times when students treated her disrespectfully she remained professional.

A high school teacher that has impacted my life is my 9th grade Geometry teacher, Mrs. Scully. Mrs. Scully has impacted my life from the very beginning. She has always been very caring and fun to be around. She is probably one of the most unique people in my life. She has always wanted me to do my best, and worked hard for me to understand the course. I was very troubled in mathematics, but the first time I received an 80 on a test in her class was the happiest moment for me. She is dedicated and she cares about you. She wants you to do good. I only had her for that year, but I still continue to see her. Sophomore and Junior year I would also use my tutoring time to be with her. I am now a senior class officer and she is our leader. She puts together senior activities and the officers help her. She influences me to be the very best person I can be. I see how she has these stylish cars and is overall happy with her life and committed to what she does. It’s inspiring and I can only wish to become as happy and successful as she is. She is a wonderful

My second grade teacher Mrs. Balzer was one of my favorite teachers through elementary school. Everyday after school while I was in her class waiting on the bus she would say "Dillon would you like a cheese stick?" Though cheese sticks was not my favorite snack and I didn't want to sound rude so i would say "yes ma'am." Learning was starting to change through grades there were more books, more homework and more classes. Another favorite teacher of mine was Mr. Britton. He was always there helping me struggling on an assignment, and always asked me to go run papers to them office for him or go make

Mrs. Eardly was my homeroom teacher who also taught me Science and English. I remember in her class, we always did hands-on projects to help us completely understand the topics. She was amazing at explaining things multiple times in different ways in order to make sure everyone fully comprehended the information. She was also not too strict- we weren’t scared of her- but she didn’t take any crap either. She was very sweet, always helping those who needed the extra help, and she was just one of those teachers who was amazing at making sure every single student felt special and appreciated.

I had wonderful teachers, always so helpful and there for me whenever I had a question. I felt that I could ask them anything and that means the world to me as a student. It is important to me to feel comfortable with a teacher to succeed. Their knowledge on things that didn’t come from our books was very helpful as well, I loved to hear all their real world experiences. They truly are incredible people and I hope they continue on teaching for many years because they are a big factor on why I am so passionate about my

For middle school, I had one great teacher that I really enjoyed. It was during my last year in middle school and I had Mr. Weisend. I met him at food lion one day sophomore year and I was so happy to see him. I’d just like to say thank you too him for always making class interesting and always giving us free time at the end of class. He also let me be a teacher assistant and that was fun because after cleaning I got to play games. He even impacted my life through social media by encouraging me.

In my 12 years of being in school, I have had a lot of different experiences with many different teachers. Some good and some, unfortunately, bad. I have had many favorites and some teachers that I couldn't wait until I dint have their class again. One teacher that I am so Grateful to have had is my 7th grade geography teacher Mrs. Gribble. Mrs. Gribble inspired me to always go after what I wanted, do my best at all times, and live my life according to me.

Throughout all my years, I have liked many of my teachers. There was one teacher who is my absolute favorite, Mrs. Burger. I had the opportunity to be in Mrs. Burger’s math class for two years. In 7th grade, I had Mrs, Burger for prealgebra and when I first met her I thought she was going to be super mean. As the year went on, I learned that she was actually a really cool teacher if you stayed on her good side. Towards the end I was a little upset that I would have to leave her class. When our schedules came out for our 8th grade year, I saw that I would be in Mrs. Burger’s class once again for Algebra I. That was the year that I got really close with Mrs. Burger. She was always making the class laugh, but made sure that we stayed on task.

In the sixth grade, I had Mrs. Adams; she was so much fun and amusing. She was a really good teacher and we did many activities to help us learn. Then I had Mrs. Teresco. She was the funniest teacher I ever had at S.M.I. She joked around and made everything she taught fun. I had Mr. Jensen for all of middle school. With Mr. Jensen, my class always had deep and interesting conversations about random topics. Finally I had Miss Baker as my teacher and we played a vocab game. It was a ball with words on it and when it was thrown to someone they had say the definition of the word their thumb landed on. My class loved playing that game because they liked to see what words people would get out on. For two years she had to put up with all the chaos my class made. In fact, all my teachers had to put up with the upheaval my class created in their

She’s the type of person who would literally do everything in their power to help and see that you succeed. I still remember the first day of school when I entered her classroom, just fully expecting her to be the worst teacher ever, due to made up rumors the year before and honestly, I’m glad to say that she proved those rumors wrong. In fact, she’s generous, sweet, kind, adorable,

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.
