As solely a student, I will tell you that Lauren is an amazing student. In a classroom environment, Lauren is knowledgeable about many subjects, participates often, and always seeks to learn more. Specifically in social studies, Lauren has an extensive knowledge of international, historical, dates; events; and people. With every book that we read in English, Lauren is able to find metaphors that I never would have noticed.
Fabiola was a student in my sixth grade class during the 2013-14 school year at Roosevelt Elementary School. She has a great attitude and a positive spirit. Fabiola maintained good grades, worked very hard each day, and enjoyed contributing to classroom discussions. Fabiola would ask for help when needed and always seemed to have a pleasant outlook on things. She is not afraid to “speak up” or to share in front of a group of peers. I think these are positive traits that will help her in the future.

I have had the pleasure of teaching Fantashia Felder during her sophomore year. It is because of students like Fantashia that I prefer teaching tenth grade over any other. What makes this year so special is that teachers can truly see the transformation of their students from children, to young adults. It's a pivotal moment in a child's life where they must decide if they want to become focused on their academic and professional careers or become super apathetic. Fantashia chose to turn her life around and I am so happy I was able to witness such a beautiful transformation.

She also did not hesitate to offer help to students on her table, and reiterate the merits of completing their work if they fell behind. Her work was always timely and complete, and she promptly asked questions to make sure she understood concepts.
Many people believe the 1995 film, Pocahontas, to be the true story of a young Powhatan woman. However, the story lacks facts. Pocahontas isn’t even her real name. Matoaka, the real Pocahontas, faced mush more misery than the movie showed. Mataoka’s life in America, life in England, a comparison between the movie and real life, and how fictional portrayals of real people effect society today will show you that Disney’s inaccuracies could change history.

[1] Disney’s Pocahontas has understandably received a lot of flak about the historically inaccurate story that is told about the legendary Pocahontas and Captain John Smith. There is a good reason for that. The movie does little that can be construed as historically accurate, yet Disney claims that was never their intent. Disney, in their previous movies, has been attacked for being racist and unsympathetic to racial minorities. Their answer was a movie whose sole purpose, as stated by Disney, was to promote racial tolerance. The question is, then can a movie promote racial tolerance when the issue is built on false history, history that if told accurately would depict the exact opposite?
“Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one” by Grandmother Willow. It is true “Sometimes the right path is not the easiest one”, to overcome leading to many obstacles to overcome such as Pocahontas did fighting for her people; she was confronted with difficult decisions. Pocahontas was based on a real person that was part of the tribe of Algonquian Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia. Not much is known about Pocahontas accept what was written and told by John Smith in, “The Generall Historie of Virginia, New England & the Summer Isles: Together with The True Travels, Adventures and Observations, and a Sea Grammar.” The movie Pocahontas was arguing in against of Pocahontas and the settlers.
In this day and age, many are led to believe that Pocahontas was a beautiful, mature woman who saved John Smith’s life and married him out of pure munificence and love. A good amount would be surprised if they were told otherwise. In the movie, Pocahontas was portrayed as a beautiful, mature woman at the time of her marriage with John Smith. However, she was married to John Rolfe at a very young age. Disney’s Pocahontas certainly did not help the cause of correctly informing the children and adults. The movie did not accurately depict the real experiences Pocahontas had to go to through and how she actually lived her days. In order for the movie to be “child friendly”, many changes had to take place from the actual story of Pocahontas.
Portia: Portia, being one of the main characters and the romantic heroine of the play, must be presented to the audience as a graceful, beautiful and intelligent person. We all know she’s beautiful, that needs no convincing. Portia is usually a fairly self-controlled person who likes to keep problems between her and her trustworthy lady-in-waiting, Nerissa. However there are certain times when she lets slip that she is an anxious person for example when Bassanio arrives at her mansion and is about to choose a casket. She has fallen in love with him and is having great difficulty in trying to conceal that fact. Her anxiety and confusion is what makes her lose her composure. Portia’s other appealing characteristic- probably one of the most apparent- is her graciousness, her amazing way of handling a situation with tact and
