My First Day Of School

1.Contact with members of the lower castes always reminded him painfully of this physical inadequacy

She was unapologetic about treating her students, especially her honors ones, like adults. She was strict about plagiarism and demanded our full efforts. Within our social studies curriculum, she found ways to infuse valuable life lessons and talk

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

This year I had the prestigious honor of being in Ms. Brown’s class, and let me tell you, it was anything but normal. Ms. Brown’s cheerfulness (and maybe a bit of messiness) really helped me realize that teachers actually have lives. They’re not just some robots who are only activated to teach, and then turned off when the class leaves, as much as we might think they are.

After each day, the students would hang out in the dorms and Gabriela was always open and kind to others. There was an incident where a student had a panic attack and Gabriela called me and stayed with the student until I reached them. Gabriela stayed with the student the entire night and even slept in the room of the student because the student didn’t want to sleep alone. Gabriela’s display of empathy and selflessness was admirable and are characteristics of a great leader.

Throughout my elementary school years I was worried and stressed out because I had a speech class that I went to three days a week when I was in kindergarten. Mrs. Mackenzie was an awesome teacher, she made us feel welcomed there and she cared about her students. Kindergarten through third grade,

She is like our other mother. Not only would she help us with things we weren't understanding but she was always tough on us as well. She treated us like we were her children. She never gave up on us no matter how irritated she got from us. She was tough on us because she saw great things in our futures. She saw how some of us were driven and whenever someone wanted to give up and walk away, she would look at them and tell them to sit down and keep giving their best because no child of hers was a quitter. In the end, that student was very happy with their accomplishments and proud of themselves because mama Napoli wouldn't let us walk away. I'm proud to call her the most amazing teacher but also a great

My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Wilsey, has influenced my life. Right before I entered fifth grade, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Crohn’s Disease is an incurable disease that causes inflammation throughout my entire gastrointestinal tract. While in fifth grade, I had to miss numerous days of school because of the treatments I would receive during the school day that was three hours away, as well as suffering from complications due to my Crohn’s Disease. Even though I was worried about falling behind in my classwork, Mrs. Wilsey was always there for me and guiding me through the most difficult time of my life. She was always willing to help me get caught up with the assignments I missed, and she would allow me to have extra time to make

At the Intermediate School I was able to observe a 5th grade math class taught by Mrs. Geanolos. Overall, her class was really interesting to watch, and I pulled a lot of good strategies from her lesson. Most impressive was her ability to calming handle crisis. In the middle of morning work a student’s nose started bleeding, resulting in a trip to the nurse and having to call a crew to clean the blood. Never once did she become flustered or frustrated. She was calm and collected, and her class was not thrown into chaos as a result. Her room was also really organized. I was especially drawn to her missing work calendar.

Her passion for education and children was noticeable as she became involved with local school and detected the needs of better education. She also mentored and financially supported young people with desire to attend college.

For example, when I was a freshmen in Clear Lake High School. My favorite subject is math because I’m good at it and also math is interesting for me. My Algebra 1 teacher was Ms. Brodus. Her class rules was so strict. She always told students to put their cellphones away but, she was so enjoyable, delighted and pleasant talk to. Also, she always gave her plenty of time to every students. She was so organized about her every assignment. Whenever a student has trouble in any problem she helps them. She always teach each problems step by step so, the students can better understand. She always shows students two ways how

Mrs. Marron has been my Spanish teacher for 8 years now, and I have never doubted her commitment to the school or students. She goes above and beyond to constantly change and adapt to the students in her class. The commitment and sacrifice Mrs. Marron shows to Meeteetse Schools is incredible. Last summer she took a trip to Spain through EF Tours with a few students, myself included. Mrs. Marron allowed us to really experience the language and culture when we had time away from the other school. This is one of the best qualities about Mrs. Marron; she encourages us to try new things and embrace our inevitable failure. I had to order my own food, shop at both clothing and grocery stores, and communicate with various locals on a day to day basis with little help. The only reason I made it through this experience was because of the teacher Mrs. Marron is. She never loses faith in our abilities,

In that class, the student learns about different teaching methods and how to care for children. As part of the curriculum, we volunteered at Long Elementary as teacher aides. Working with 4th grade students and observing an everyday class room was such an awe-inspiring experience. I had a completely new perspective about teachers. I have so much more respect as before. Teachers put so much time and effort into helping children for their benefits. I knew from the first day I helped with Ms. Williams’ 4th grade class, how much a teacher is a positive influence on children. There is an overwhelming feeling when you help a student with a problem and in return they give you the most heart-warming smile. The experience at Long Elementary helped me make my final decision on whether I wanted to teach elementary or secondary school. As much as I enjoyed helping elementary students, in my heart I knew secondary school was the path God had in store for me.

I chose to observe Mrs. Tijerina for my classroom observation. There are many reasons why I decided to observe Mrs. Tijerina. I elected to observe Mrs. Tijerina so I could see another teacher’s perspective on teaching Spanish, as she and Mrs. Fiechter are the only Spanish teachers in the school. Furthermore, I never had Mrs. Tijerina for Spanish 2, as the teacher I had left Adams Central. Additionally within the hour I was observing, there were many sophomore students that I knew personally so I was able to ask them on their options of the class. Finally, Mrs. Tijerina’s goal was to teach in a similar way to Mrs. Fiechter’s teaching, and by observing her I was able to compare and contrast the two
