Personal Essay : My Favorite Teacher In My School

Third Grade. Most people remember learning multiplication, getting more homework, and a very slight increase in responsibility. What’s my most vivid memory? The time my teacher was rushed to the hospital during the school day. My homeroom teacher, Mrs. Hauge is still one of the nicest teachers I’ve had today. She taught the cluster classroom, which is when all the kids the school considers “Gifted Learners” are all put in one class rather than being split up so that they can more easily be taught what they need. She was always nice, and not very strict. Basically, she was my favorite teacher all through elementary school. While her trip to the hospital was a traumatic experience for the whole class, it really shaped me as an individual.

Of the many classes that I chose to take, my two favorites were an English course and Health course. I may want to be a K-9 Officer, and these have few things in common with that career goal, but they were my favorite courses because of the professors who taught the course. Janice (Meredith) Privott for the English course, and Matthew Harpold for the Health course. These two teachers helped push me to better myself in almost every way. Mrs.Privott helped me on a personal level with stress and trauma; from her support she made me a much stronger person. Mr.Harpold helped me with my self-esteem, he took the time to help me when I needed it, even when I wasn’t in his class, just as Mrs.Privott did.

Mrs. Kuras over time she became more like a friend than just a teacher. On my 1st day of going to OJ Dejonge Middle School, I was pretty intimated by all the new faces and places. I made it through my first 3 hours consisting of English, Health, and Math. By then it was 11:15, time for 6th graders to head to lunch. After seeing my friends and discussing how their days were so far it was on to science for me.

Spielmann when I was in second grade. I got to know Mrs. Spielmann on a different level, rather than just as my teacher. I also learned how much teaching truly meant to her. The best part of the job shadow was talking to the students and seeing what they were interested in. I wish I could have stayed longer and seen more of their day. However, it was all in all a great experience and it just fortified that this is what I want to do in my future. I have always wanted to teach at West Central and that is still one of my

The teacher, Mr. Walla, He seemed very laid back (in a professional a will push you very hard kind of way). The main reason why I like that class best though is because my three best friends are in it; Amber Gawronski, Jake Huseman and my boyfriend Ian Hanthorn. Additionally, we all conveniently sit next to each other. Thank you teachers who do not use seating charts! However, the downside I noticed, he gives out a lot more homework than any other teacher I know. No matter that, I think the class will be a fun and difficult experience.

Another class that I enjoyed was English 2 taught by Mrs. Smith. Yea some people think she is though on her students, that’s because she is but I think that it has a purpose. She gives some challenging assignment that nobody wants to do but somehow she motivates us to complete them. I remember two projects that were fun and effective, not only as school work but to help sharpen our people skills. One of those projects was to write a children’s story book based on an activist from the civil rights movement. Once we completed our book we took part in a field trip to two elementary schools here in Barstow, once there we assigned to a five person groups and we also received a list with the room numbers that we were to visit. We read our books to first as well as to second graders. After we I finished I had some of the children write their named on the back of my book.

My worst class experience all started in 10th grade year in an Algebra 2 class taught by Mr.Trichtinger or Mr.T for short. I'm going to tell you the horror he unleashed upon me and everybody else in that class. He could have probably won worst teacher of the year for that season because I don't see how anybody could've topped his performance in that category. I had never met a teacher that went out of their way to start arguments with their students. I had never met before a person I truly hated with a passion all before I met Mr.T.

Although I have had many different types of teachers, there are two that stick out more than any others. The first was my third and sixth grade teacher. She was the best teacher I ever had. The second was my seventh grade teacher. She was the worst I think a student could have had. Both, these teachers had very different teaching styles and very different out looks on teaching. To be an effective teacher the teacher must respect the student and be willing to go the extra mile to help the students learn all they can. In this paper, I will discuss the effectiveness of these two teachers and how their teaching styles differed.

This year in P.E we had a new teacher named Tyler Ray. I came into school thinking oh this teacher is going to be terrible, because I loved my old P.E teacher Miss. D, but it turned out to be my favorite year for P.E. I can safely say that I grew in my faith and my physical strength because of Mr. Ray. 8th grade was by far my favorite year of my time at GHCS, just because of my class being so fun and everyone being close which made the year awesome.

Middle school, that awkward time when you're too young to be high schoolers, yet too old to be elementary schoolers. We all experience it, most don't take much from it, but I was an exception. At Archdale Trinity Middle School there was a teacher by the name of Mr. Gary Hunsucker. I will never forget that name, for he impacted me for life. All of the students wanted Mr. Hunsuker, probably because his class was fairly easy to pass. What the students didn't know was the lessons he taught. Not only lesson plans, but life lessons. I remember seeing Mr. Hunsucker in the halls. I can remember his radiant smile, and his humble complexion. I always wanted the experience of having Mr. Hunsucker for a teacher, so I made sure of it. I applied for Algebra I because I knew Mr. Hunsucker taught that class. Not to my surprize, I got in his class. I can remember how excited I was to see him in class teaching! August could not come soon enough.

This essay is dedicated to a special person who I truly admire. His name is Carter Milhous; my 7th and 8th-grade teacher for the SLV Nature Academy (as well as Melissa Stockton). He is an old but strong person. He is still my favorite teacher because he is artistic, strong, and friendly. He was the type of teacher that likes to joke with his students, as well as strict enough to make us do our work. In this essay, I will be telling you about how he has changed my life. I will never forget what he has done for me because he is the reason why I succeeded in school, why I graduated from middle school, why I am a better person today.

The teacher that stands out most in my head is my eleventh grade English teacher. She had a liberal arts background, and enjoyed the classic American writers; Hemingway, Steinbeck, what have you. She was in the class of teachers who was more impressed by actions and honesty

kindergarten having a strict teacher that never let anything slip by. When I was in fifth grade I learned what it was to have no extra help, I repeated fifth grade. The one type of teacher I will never forget is my Junior year social studies teacher, she encouraged me throughout that year to be the best at everything I did in school. You will have these type of teachers throughout your life, the strict teacher, the one that gives you no help, and the one that will impact your life because she will go above and beyond to give you help. Each type of teacher I just mentioned left memories in my life good and bad.

I have encountered numerous teachers during my educational career, but only a few have made a memorable impact on my life. Whether it was doing the best providing my education or a coach that helps me improve on and off court/field/track. Teachers and coaches like this are what make school enjoyable. Through all of the teachers I have ever had in class Mr. Price, Coach Nathan Loftiss, and Coach Jacob Schneberger have been the ones I've enjoyed the most.

“The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise … Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.” Said A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. I totally agree with him because teacher matters. Teachers can change someone’s feeling or thinking by the way they teach students. For example, I loving math is caused by my math teacher when I was in middle school. Teaching is really hard duty, so not everyone can be a good teacher. The teacher who influenced me is Mrs. Suzan Pongratz because she is a creative teacher, encouraging students by offering incentives them, and organizing in her class and that’s made her class more ambiguous and dissimilar than others. English was the regretful class until I met Mrs. Suzan Pongratz and changed my mind. I am yenning to go to her class every time without feeling bad or regret. She is a brilliant, clever, helpful, creative and fun teacher. She achieved all the conditions that student need. She gave me the confidence by making me feel and think positively all the time. Her encourage insights make me rethink my work to make it better. If I want to thank her, it would not be enough for working with me hardly to make me improve and finish the class with best results. The way she is transferring the knowledge makes you interesting and want to learn and know more about it. Challenges are the key to creative new things.
