trying, something that sent shivers down my spine. Mixed emotions of uncertainty and optimism had filled my first day of middle school; and as my final year is drawing to a close, I realize that this place-this transitional time in my life- is something that I never want to leave. I created a home away from home, and a family, over the short three years spent learning here. Each school year, from first to concluding, brought new experiences in which have altered my life. These are the things that I am
the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now." Over the course of my school years, it has been an exciting and shocking experience. These experiences have been an enjoyable journey from my elementary to middle school years. However, after several years the end of my middle school adventure is coming to a close. Soon my new journey will start as a freshman. Eight grade will surely be one of my most memorable years. It has been an absolute wonderful one hundred eighty days, and
I leave my elementary school with such a rush of emotions, it may only be described through pictures, for as if otherwise, I would be only lying upon the hour in which I retell my tale word-by-word, letter-for-letter. At the moment, I described the feeling as “sappy” in reality, it was mawkish. The feeling of a mixture of hope and excitement for the next stage of my life is one I will never forget. I live in what one would call a chicken coop. A small yellow house at the foot of a concrete hill,
Mathematics Reflection Introduction: Mathematics is considered a science that manipulates symbols according to given rules or instructions which can also be considered the science of numbers. My belief is that being literate in mathematics is crucial in this world because I consider math to be the base to explain various quantitative disciplines in fields such as finance, physics, biology, economics and chemistry. I have always had a positive attitude while solving mathematical problems because
The Webster’s Dictionary definition of middle school is a school intermediate between an elementary school and a high school, typically for children in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. My personal definition of middle is the place you lose all your friends you thought were your “BFF’s” and find friends that will stick with you until at least graduation. Not only do you find your true friends, but you find what interests you. I started sports, clubs, and organizations that I never thought
I went to Middle School in Knob Noster Missouri for half of Middle School, then moved in the middle of 6th grade. I started Middle School when I was 10, in 5th grade. It was unusual to start Middle School in 5th grade, but at the end of 4th grade, the school education board said that there wasn’t enough room in our elementary school, so they moved the 5th grade to the Middle School. We were the first 5th grade class to experience Middle School in the whole community. I felt older and cooler than

Through my schooling so far, I have learned and read about education and student culture to put together a general philosophy about what I believe as a teacher. Beginning the middle level education program, my philosophy has evolved and strengthened based on the uniqueness of young adolescent needs. I believe that every child can learn and deserves equal opportunity in the classroom. I believe that young adolescents deserve a curriculum that accommodates whatever need they may have. I believe that
in all my experiences regarding STEM. Though I have directed my focus more towards technology in my middle and high school years, my story began with mathematics. Growing up in an immigrant family, my parents were not always able to cross the language barrier and help develop my studies in language arts or social studies. Since math deals with numbers and function, it is the one subject without borders. I grew up memorizing the multiplication table at an early age and complaining when my parents
weeks, our class had an experience gaining, eye opening opportunity that us as a class were able to capitalize on to further our knowledge and experience as teachers. The opportunity for us to work at Birchland Park Middle School over the past four weeks was an irreplaceable experience being able to work with middle school students and working along side such knowledgeable and experienced teachers at such a great school. I can personally say, the feedback that I received from my students as they were
