Personal Narrative: Working With A Student

During the interview my student expressed her frustration of not being able to perform at the same level as her classmates. She told me that she feels that she learns very slowly, she understands everything that I explain in the classroom, but at the time of do her homework she cannot do it. She refers that she does well in the classroom because she gets help from me and from her classmates. I remember that when I saw her losing motivation, I spoke with her and I suggested her to put more attention in class. At that time, I noticed that during classes she wanted to write every single exercise on the board and that is where she wastes time. She also missed the next explanation and when she finished writing everything she was lost. While we were reviewing the warm up she

I was a volunteer tutor at S.U.C.C.E.S.S., a non-profit charitable organization that assists new immigrants to adjust to the Canadian culture and lifestyle by providing various services. I tutored a grade 9 boy in Math, English, and Chemistry, a girl in grade 6 and grade 2 with English. I was also a peer tutor at my high school during my senior year in Pinetree Secondary's Learning Centre where I helped students in grade 9-11 with English and Math. The Learning Centre is a place for students who have learning disabilities, where they can access additional support academically and socially. In particular, I had 1-on-1 tutoring for a student in grade 9 who struggles with English. My goal was to develop lessons to strengthen his weaknesses and

As a non-traditional student, I had many opportunities to lead at school and work. As a matter fact it is hard to consider an internship because I am always having jobs which also gives me a chance to improve my leadership skills. I believe that a good leader must also be a good follower. I learned this in my first formal job as a chemical technician.

It all started on the third day of sixth grade, I was assigned a new seat next to the new girl, her name was Izzy. We were both really quiet and shy so we didn’t talk to each other. The only time we ever talked was to ask for a pencil, piece of paper, or for partner work. We noticed that we have the exact same schedule except for one class. We started talking more and we started to invite each other to sit by each other at lunch. After the first part of school, we started to be good friends, but we didn’t talk or hang out that much outside of school except for on text meassage.

This is my 6th year at Mckeel Academy! I am certified in math 5-9, Social Sciences 6-12, k-6 Elementary, Middle Grades Integrated, and K-12 Art. I graduated from USF with a degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. I've had the pleasure of interacting with Trynelle throughout every year of her high school career. During her freshman year, I taught her Algebra 1 Honors and the years following she returned to be my Teacher's Assistant as well as take my Creative Photography course in her junior year.

I was once employed as a tutor by a community college, and one of our responsibilities was to tutor a group of high school students. One of the high school students I tutored was also of Hispanic ethnicity who had to move to Tennessee due to his family being displaced by a hurricane. The student was unable to concentrate at home due to them having a chaotic living environment because of too many individuals living in the student’s home. This led to disorganized and disruptive behaviors by the student, and eventually to academic struggles. Though my role as a tutor did not allow me to talk to the family as a group, I did coordinate with the high school counselor regarding the student’s behavior and the counselor eventually brought the family

My guided lesson 3 went really well this week. This week the lesson had been implemented exactly the way it had been planned. The lesson began with students looking at the title page and making predictions about the book. Everyone had interesting points to share about the predictions they made. I could tell the students were really excited to read this book as it was very colorful and it got their attention. Before we started reading, I asked the students to look for main events that took place in the book as it will help them retell the story at the end. All the students were able to retell the story to me at the end. What went well the most was the fact that my students brought the main events to my attention on their own before retelling

As a teacher, I’ve had the opportunity to work and interact with many professionals and families from different cultures. Personally, and considering the fact that I also come from another country, I’ve seen myself facing several cross cultural barriers.

At the beginning of 2016, I didn't think I’d be coming out so soon. My AP Language Arts teacher assigned a performance piece that quickly crept up on me. We were told to stand in front of the class and share a piece of our identity; it was nothing like any other assignment I had done before.

My tutoring experience is mostly with 7th-12th grade English Literature and Language skills. I have helped students review and prepare for quizzes and tests in multiple choice and short answer format. I have also assisted students with outlining essays and research papers. I also proof read rough drafts and offer suggestions on grammar and rubric completion.

Growing up, I’ve been told the same line over and over again, “Make sure whatever you grow up to be, you will love.” With this advice, I began my life journey of finding out what I wanted to be. This advice haunted my life for multiple year as I struggle to find what my life would become. This constant struggle had myself worrying that I wouldn’t find anything I would love. Eventually, my final decision was made. This is to become a special Elementary Elementary Teacher. Entering the field of education, not only seems what's right, it also seems like I could change the generation of children.

Eventually I did find a job working with a family member just for the summer of course I did not know what to expect I knew that these people were in all places and that they were similar to an evangelist spreading their word convincing people and in this case businesses to permit them to implement their activities in this context, it was a school that I was working for and I must comment that 99% of businesses just simply love it they love to participate in it Or they feel forced to. So I began that job at the school, I was working with children and teens similar to a summer camp. The first day I was there it happened immediately as soon as I walked in the door ,I heard it the employees who were working there treated it as if it was a surprise

I enjoyed my fourth day at Forest Brook Middle School. I sat in both an Accelerated class and General Ed class. The Accelerated class was working on One- Step and Two Step Equations. Since the lesson ended early they were able to work in groups and start on homework. Ms. Molesky informed me that in this particular class students didn’t need much help because they can do everything on their own. Their homework was a maze-like worksheet where each answer led them to a certain problem. While walking around I noticed one student solving the problems in his own way, but he still gets the right answer, he tried explaining it to me and his partner, but we both didn’t get his method. There was another student who made a mistake on his maze and selected

“I think I will go as well,” Danny says in his quiet and peaceful way. “I need to meditate.”

Eight years ago, I was sitting in front of a computer in tiny cubicle running my fingers across numbers and straining my eyes across stacks of paper checking to make sure every graphic, commercial, and TV rating aired in its rightful spot. While I took being a Log Specialist seriously and did my best to execute what was asked, I was lost internally. I knew that I was meant to do more. That’s when I made the decision to pursue a career in education. I was unsure about being a teacher in the beginning. After I finished getting my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Mercer University, I remembered what it felt like to enter the classroom for the first time. I was scared and nervous, but I was determined to succeed.
