I will treat these students as if they will eventually change perspectives, even if they never do. Treating all students with respect, I believe that having high expectations and recognizing each student’s positive potential will contribute greatly to the students I teach. My performance as a teacher is also very important. I believe in continually reflecting on my teaching practices and improving them

me, as I grow older. My version of society is white middle class people who grow up going to catholic schools. These white middle class people are only associated with other white middle class people, and very seldom venture out of this little society. As stupid as that sounds to not associate with other people it is true. The reason this is true is because of where I live, where I go to school, and who my friends are. I guess it is just like

Personal Writing: The Evaluation of My Coaches      Throughout my high school basketball career I experienced several different coaches. Every new coach brought a different approach to coaching.

Wanting to return to school has been a dream for a long time. I am starting out a little late, at 45 years old, but I have finally found my passion, working in education. Since the age of thirteen, I have been working multiple jobs day and night, only to still be below the poverty line; stuck in survival mode for so long now that I need to have a permanent positive change that will help me accomplish more than I ever have.

According to the census 2000, the total number of people in school between nursery and high school is approximately 57 million. Out of those 57 million, roughly 49 million are in public school.
