My Experience Essay

The fourth grade was a very traumatic year for me. My only sister went to middle school, my mom who always was at home across the street from school got a job, and I didn’t know one person in my class. For the first time in my life I was on my own and I was frightened even by the idea of it. During that year my grades dropped and I wasn’t social with my classmates. I started to fail in my favorite class, math. The work became pointless to me and I started to neglect my work. One day, after I failed another one of those math tests, my teacher asked to talk to me after class. Due to the already annoying grade I had received, my teacher punished me with a detention. Confusion and frustration flooded my body and I just wanted to give up. But,

Introduction In the fall of 2017, I was assigned my first field experience as a student in the college of education at The University of North Georgia.

In previous years, at my high school, we were given the opportunity to be present in an elementary school classroom. For an hour each day, a group of us would ride to the elementary school to help out teachers that needed an extra hand in regards to maintaining their classroom, and allowing them focus more on their lessons instead of housekeeping responsibilities. Being surrounded by elementary age students for these few years really helped me develop deep love and passion for teaching young children. Life set me on a different career path as I attended Georgia Tech last year in pursue of a Business Degree. Throughout the year, as I sat in my business classes, doing my best to pay attention, but I could just tell that my heart was not into all that the business world had to offer. All along, I knew that my heart belonged in the classroom, and after careful consideration, I decided to transfer to the University of North Georgia at Dahlonega. Education 2130, was the first education class I had the opportunity to take, and it required 20 hours of field experience. My first collegiate field experience was nothing short of enlightening, and allowed me to immerse and expand my knowledge in the education world.

Myself Walter a thirteen year old boy I did not suspect what was going to happen the first day of school, eighth grade year. When I was standing there with one of my friends at my locker, Then a moment later I got a glimpse of the new girl. Usually when you are new you usually get labeled the first time you get looked at. I could tell that she wasn't one of those ordinary girls that pushed people down, bragged about her accomplishments of life. After getting the vivid glimpse of her I shut my locker and walked past my friend to say hi. Then in that moment I said “hi”, my life had changed forever.

As I entered Skyview Elementary School, I immediately felt welcomed. The school is very bright and colorful. The music room is immediately next to the art room, so the hallway has student artwork on the wall. It is noticeable that the school is student-centered and the environment is positive. I was not expecting the music room to look the way it did. When I was in elementary school, our music room was also the art room, and we did not have a large collection of instruments. I remember we just sang the majority of the time and lesson plans were not used. However, this music room and class was the complete opposite of the experience I had. I walked out of the room after my first visit wishing I would have had an experience like that because I think I would have learned to

In the child development field as a teachers we have the responsibility of have a different trainings and workshops, doesn’t matter how many years of experience that you have you always have something to learn in those kinds of trainings. Las year I went to one of my favorites, the name of the workshop was universal design. What I learn there is how to implement a natural environment into the classrooms to make a nice and calm place to the children. I love to decorate my classroom but before as a teachers we use to make everything with a lot of colors, but now we are learning that if we have a natural colors and natural objects as a piece of woods, neutral furniture color, natural plants, etc. we offer a calm environment to the children. I was very excited in what I learned there and I transmitted it to my coworkers the idea to transform the classroom in a natural peaceful and calm environment (Chu M, p 80).

After experiencing two years of knowledge and wisdom at Egan, I have truly changed as a student and as a person. I am about to venture beyond the bridge that linked childhood and maturity, but the memories of the past will always be stored deep inside me and my colleagues.

I observed and analyzed the design and delivery of an instructional unit in a Montessori school setting. I observed a classroom of grades 1-3 two times from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. at the Kennebec Montessori school. I was asked to sit quietly and to not interact with the children so I could get a realistic view of the class day and the children would pursue their chosen work.

My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times. When I was a young girl, my mom had always told me the same thing over and over again. I never really thought about how a few words would have a deep effect on me in a short amount of time.

I am shock by what I am seeing now. I find myself flying in the middle of the boundless sky like an eagle. The beauty of the earth is all under my eyes now. I can see the greenish forests, the giant mountains, the empty lands, and the busy cities that are far away. But the most beautiful thing is the blue sky itself where I am in. Suddenly the next moment, I was standing on the roof of a 100-stories tall skyscraper while enjoying my expensive wine and the landscape of the city. When I look down, although I am scared of heights, I see the miniature of pedestrians and cars that are moving around. Travelling in an imagination world is probably the most joyful thing to do in the life. I don’t where I will be next yet, but it will come to my mind when it is the right time.

In life we all have something that has changed the way we perceive things. Most things that change a person’s perception happens to be an experience that they have gone thru and learned from. In my case it wasn’t necessarily an experience, it was a dog that changed my perception on life. My mind and heart was opened in a whole new way. I never thought I could love an animal just as much as I loved the people in my life. I always thought it was strange that pet owners loved and treated their pets the same way they treated their children. My perception on dogs or pets in general definitely changed. Throughout this paper you will see why I am a totally different person because of a dog that entered my life.
