Educators are extremely dynamic people. Not only are they teachers, but they are also students, friends, confidantes, coaches, and more. In order to be a successful educator, one must know his or her content well and also exhibit professionalism in all aspects of his or her life. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, professionalism is defined as “the skill, good judgment, and polite behavior that is expected from a person who is trained to do a job well” (merriam-webster.com). When I hear the word professionalism, I automatically think of tattoos, social media, and appropriate language/attire. After some in-depth discussion with my classmates and teachers, I have come to realize that professionalism encompasses so much more. Professional development, also referred to as lifelong learning, is a major component of professionalism as well. In my internship experience at Pleasant Valley High School, I believe that I have displayed many aspects of professionalism, which is a major component of my own teaching philosophy. I initially thought that professionalism meant outer appearance and appropriate language/behavior. I still do believe that this is a crucial part of professionalism. I am a firm believer in conducting myself in a manner that will represent my family, school, and students well. One example of my determination to act as a professional both in and out of the classroom is to keep my social media not only private, but free from inappropriate pictures/posts;

Gary Soto
“Gary Soto was born in Fresno, California, in April, 1952, to working-class Mexican-American parents. At a young age, he worked in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley. He was not academically motivated as a child, but became interested in poetry during his high school years.” Soto uses his cultural experiences lead him to write about his character how he does and throughout all of his short stories, books, and poems he adds in Spanish words, to show us the kind of environment he grew

Before I knew it, the bird hopped up on it’s two legs. Cupping my hands, I tilted my water bottle, letting the water drop in my hands so the bird could get a drink. As soon as the bird got hydrated, it flew off into the woods. Even animals need a chance, but some people don’t care. I admire people like veterinarians who devote their lives to helping

I am roughly, two semesters away from my goal and anxiously awaiting everything to come in to fruition. Over the past two years, I have gained a great deal of knowledge and I have expanded my teacher tool-box.

Beginning as early as I can remember, books were read to me by my mother, my father and my sisters. The thrill of an outing to the public library while growing up in rural Wisconsin was every bit as exciting as a trip to the carnival or the circus because, as my earliest discoveries conveyed, books could take me any place. I
nice to go out to eat, order a nice meal that you do not have to cook and be served everything you want. When going out to eat, have you ever thought about the person that is serving you food, getting you drinks, and making sure you have a pleasant experience at the restaurant of your choice? That person is a server. He or she is a waiter or waitress. I’ve gone out to eat a lot, and I’ve always been a little curious what is like to be the person serving the food and not eating it.

However, voting in Massachusetts was limited to freemen or limited to people who had been formally interrogated on their religious views and experiences. Hooker disagreed with these limitations and their influential pastor, John Cotton. So, Thomas Hooker and Reverend Samuel Stone led a group of one hundred people in 1636 and founded the settlement of Hartford. Which then led to the founding of the
The Wines of Spain
During my young and foolish years, I was a confirmed wine snob; at least as it applied to the red wines I drank. If they didn?t come from Bordeaux, France, I didn?t consider them worthy. Typically, my purchases would feature wines from M?doc, Margaux, Pauillac, Saint Emilion, Pomerol and Graves. This all changed in my late forties, I was gifted with several bottles of red wine from various countries including Australia, Chile and the United States (California). Begrudgingly, I
