Personal Statement : An Elementary School

Values are where my father had the most influence in my adolescent years. The one that he placed above all others were family values. He would tell me that having a happy family life was one of the most important things that a man could have. He was also a man that didn’t practice what he preached. He would always tell us to mind what our teachers said in school and never lie to anyone and not take something that didn’t belong to us. I remember one time I took a candy bar from a store when I went shopping with my mother. I felt so guilty that after we returned home I went to my father and gave him the candy bar and told him what I did. My dad would just look at me and said,” Son I’m disappointed in you, I have taught

My contribution to NYC public schools children in education has been extensive. I first began working in NYC public schools as a speech pathologist in 1980. I would examine expressive and receptive language skills of children and through task analyses develop strategies of language acquisition. In short, I was able to gets students to improve their reading and writing skills in order to master grade level competencies. In my educational journey, I was recruited by Principal Louis Rapport to become an Assistant Principal. Principal Rapport ran an after-school program for teachers who wanted to become school leaders. I worked in coordinating summer programs at George Westinghouse Vocational High School in 1986. I worked hand in hand with the principal to build community partners for our school which offered twelve or more trade programs and internships for students ranging form optical to jewelry making. In 1989, I was selected to serve as Assistant Principal of Special Education at Automotive High School, with Principal Steve Gilbert, who has since passed away. Principal Gilbert much like Principal Rapport was my mentors in leadership within the educational arena. With the support of Principal Gilbert, I was able to go to a Harvard Graduate School of Education and participate in a Summer Seminar in 1995. This was the season of “Inclusion in Schools”. Principal Gilbert recommended me for a program, Assistant Principal to Principal Program

I’m Molly McDaniel and I’m currently a junior at New Brockton High School. I’ve lived in and attended school in New Brockton my entire life, so my Gamecock Pride runs deep. My home is just out of the city limits and I live there with my mom and dad (Christy and Mike) and my little brother, Cole. I also have two dogs, Bonnie and Bandit.

As we grow, we are raised with many values. Parents, work with one another to

Hello my name is Hannah Hagen, I go to Saint Rose Catholic School. In less than a year I hopefully will be attending Paso Robles High School. I want to participate in the magazine club; I always have loved to interact with others and I love to do creative writing. In my school I give input on each subject, I’m a very vocal person. While others might view that as a negative trait but I think that it is very good to speak your mind and voice your opinion. I volunteer at the local food shelter and feed the hungry. I also participate in volleyball and basketball. I’ve been playing sports my whole life and plan to play different kinds. At my school I participate in the technology program; it is one of my favorite

Kyndall Fritz~ I am a member of the girls’ varsity tennis team. I am a year round competitive swimmer and I plan on swimming for Wheatmore this winter. In my spare time I like to hang out with my friends and go to the beach. I am an active member in my church youth group. My friends would describe me as a funny, friendly, and kind hearted person.

I am a student at Valley Prep Academy (VPA) in Fresno, California. I am 12 years old and I have been at this school for three years. This is the best school I ever been to! I want this classroom to be comfortable as it can be. For this to happen we would like it if their is alternative seating. At (VPA) we have also have gotten all our school and office supplies from Staples.

Born in July of 1999, I have always been known to have a bright future.I attended Ann Visger Elementary School in River Rouge, Michigan and Strong Middle School in Melvindale Michigan. From there began my high school career at Melvindale High School very nervous. I was placed in many honors classes and was able to excel. I took leadership roles and participated in projects that many freshmen do not try. After ninth grade, I transferred to River Rouge High School, on my first day I was reunited with old friends, yet still wanted to go back to my old school with my friends I created in the last 4 years. After being sadden about my transfering, I decided that you must do with what you are given. So the entire school year I worked to get my titles

I grew up in a small town in Conway, Arkansas. From a very young age my mother always instilled in me how important education is; encouraging me to always put forth my full effort no matter how small or large the task may seem. Naturally, being the young child that I was, ready to absorb any little bit of information I could grasp, I took that to heart. I didn’t go to one of the big fancy schools that are seen on the list of “America’s Top 100 Elementary Schools”. However, I was doing rather well where I was. I always had straight A’s in each of my classes and I was even one of the school student ambassadors for multiple years. I was not only seen as an intelligent student, but also a leader. Then my mom got married and right at the start of

I am a professional educator, father, husband who loves sports, and is fascinated by weather. I taught social studies in Pemberton, NJ from 2004-2012 and then I took three years off to be a stay at home dad. Since 2015 I have split my time between Timberlane Middle School and Lawrence Middle School. Two of my favorite things to do that are not technology or education related are watching the New York Mets and enjoying the beach. I love New Jersey, but my wife and I dream of living near the beach in a state with a warmer climate.

As my teaching internship ends, I wanted to extend a sincere thank you to you and Chesney Elementary School. It was exciting to be able to apply Chesney kindergarten theories to developing lesson plans. I am grateful for the expertise you added in aiding my development as a teacher. The fall internship has proven to be an invaluable experience for me.

I have a Bachelor’s degree from Greensboro, North Carolina. After college graduation, I moved back to my home state of Florida where I taught for four years prior to moving to New Jersey. I have accumulated numerous years in private schools, juvenile detention programs as well as the public school institution. Uniquely, I love dealing with the high school age youths with the daily stimulations and engagements. Even though it can be very challenging, I do look forward to my student interactions each day. I think it keeps my mindset young; school being energetic and vigorous.

This past summer I had the opportunity to serve alongside MTRCamp as a reading coach. It was the most incredible and life-changing experience of my life. I have always had a heart for the city and for urban communities, but I never experienced a place like Memphis. The culture of this city is vastly different than any other city I have been to. The people of Memphis has an immense and infectious amount of pride for their community. It was a pleasure seeing my students develop a genuine love for learning as they were challenged to dig deeper into the books they were reading in my classroom. I deeply loved my students as they brought me joy each day. Although, it was not always easy working in an inner-city school – the payoff this summer was

Foundationally my parents have taught me the value of patience, humility, self-initiative, decision making, and communication.

As a youth, I think that aside from general life experiences, we learn a lot of values through certain media we are exposed to. Luckily, as a 6 year old, my parents introduced my little brother and I to the Star Wars Trilogy. The introduction to this science fiction fantasy expanded my creativity, imagination, and influenced my ethical values purely based on my hilarious aspiration of becoming
