My Favorite Teacher

Now that I am on an Elite basketball team, I really have grown and learned to push myself more and more everyday. I really value leadership and teamwork, which basketball has taught me. Once I am out of C.W. Perry I am hoping to make a high school basketball team, and maybe even a College or University basketball team. I know that in order to accomplish my goals I will need to work hard and have lots of dedication. In the end goals are just dreams with deadlines.

A teacher needs to be flexible and adaptable due to schedule changes, adapting lessons, gaining new students, adapting to various behaviors and various academic levels of students. A teacher needs to be assertive when advocating for the needs of their students, themselves and for their peers. To be outstanding you have to have compassion towards your peers, your students and their families. A teacher always need to be prepared for their day including designing lessons, creating materials, writing IEP's, knowing students levels, handling any behavior, that anything can happen and always have extra work. A teacher should be able to Multitask, you have to wear lots of hats in this field such as a mother figure, nurse, friend, disciplinarian, enemy,

This year I joined the tennis team and really enjoyed the atmosphere and people I was around. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be a part of it freshman year but I plan on staying all throughout high school. I would love and hope to be the captain my senior year along with one of my friends and also try to be the manager this junior year. I love helping others and having someone look up to me, knowing I’m doing something right and trying to make a difference. My character would be able to show and improve even more throughout my life with

I’m interested in becoming a Link Unlimited Scholar, in light of the things they have to offer in helping me become a better student and person. Nevertheless, they are academically and mentally preparing us for high school and also how to excel in college. I never had an opportunity to do anything like Link Unlimited Scholar. I like to try new things that helps and challenges me on things I don’t know to make me a better person. Becoming a Link Unlimited Scholar is beneficial for me and everyone else in so many ways, as far as reaching our goals and dreams. Having this opportunity will give us a chance to gain control in lives. With this life experience I can share my opportunity within the community and, although I would have a mentor I’m

I believe there are many skills and attributes that are necessary to an outstanding teacher; one’s ability to keep students engaged, the desire to see all students achieve, and knowledge of the content taught are attributes of an outstanding educator.

Becoming a Link Unlimited Scholar will be a wonderful opportunity for me as well as my child, since this will be a first time experience. I like to be opened minded to new things that’s going to better me, and my child and that’s going to put a positive out-look on life. Reading more into their program I’ve learned a variety of things that is offered inside the program. They offer support mentally to students by getting them prepared for the future. Providing a support system with a one on one mentor will help the students to succeed in life and, especially if the child has a hard time opening up to their parents. Having a mentor to look up to when they don’t have no one else to guide them on the right path. This program is beneficial to help

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.

My hopes and dreams are that I want to play in the NFL, and have straight A’s this school year. Some of my favorite sports are football, softball,

I’m usually one of the kids that helps their teacher hand back papers, or the one that starts a conversation with the teacher before the class begins. My teachers usually know if something is wrong and ask if i’m okay. If we have a class project , like the one in my English right now about writing about a controversy topic and finding reliable sites, I’m usually the one “taking charge”. Helping my group finding their part, as well as making sure they’re getting caught up with their work. They usually chose me to be the “leader”. Holding the papers as the trustworthy person not going to lose it and making sure it gets to class everyday as well. I also revise the things that we’re going to turn

My goals I want to accomplish by the time I finish high school are to find the good friends early on and finish at the top of my class, but the most important one is to get recruited to play college volleyball. I want to find those friends early on so that my high school experience will be a lot easier with friends that support me on my side. Finishing at the top of my class is one of my goals because I have always wanted to finish at the top of my class. Getting recruited is also a something I really want to happen. This has been my dream since I was a little girl and my goal is to make that dream come true. I will work hard at everything so that I can make that

Thinking about your experience today describe how the activities may have demonstrated one of the core values above or a need for one. Use three different core values over the course of the three journals.

During school, my goals is to get good grades and go to high school, because by the time you go to high school they're gonna tell you about life. I just wanted to learn stuff and work hard because I can help my family out, or get a job, but I'm really gonna miss going back to school because all your friend is gonna be there, and you won't remember what you learn or what you did during school time.

Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents. Teachers are persuasive and have the power to build a child up from an immature student to become a responsible adult; or they can completely and utterly crush a students hopes and dreams.

All it takes is seven seconds to completely assess and categorize a person you’ve barely met. This has happened to everyone, especially as a student. Small visual clues such as one’s expression, their race, gender, demeanor, and clothing, set the precedent for how the teacher will view their students from the beginning of the school year to the last day. Most favoritism teachers dole out is subconscious. The reason they may gravitate towards and dote on particular kids could stem from the initial assessment they made or even bias. Humans tend to gravitate towards others similar to them. While there is the belief that teachers playing favourites is natural, necessary, and unavoidable, this behavior is harmful to the student, harmful to their peers, and is often completely irrational.

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.
