I hate picture day. In fact, if there is one complaint I have towards school, the first idea that comes in mind is picture day. Why must we to have our pictures taken? Does the business strategy attract that much attention? To this day, I still do not fully understand picture day; you get these mysterious bookmarks with red stripes and wait an hour to get a picture taken. Also, I hate having my picture taken. The pictures never come out perfect and believe me- an extra crease truly makes a difference. Of course, most of you people would not be able to empathize… my last name starts with a ‘w’... Picture day this semester is different, I Jason Wong, am taking pictures without having to wait in line; not only does this benefit the couple of people …show more content…

It was make-up day and I was one of a group of students who either came too late to take pictures collectively or were absent for some mandatory reason. Luckily for me, I was sick that day, which was great because not only do I have legal permission to avoid school and wake up late, but also because ten other people have to deal with the lengthy wait time. I may have not been in the greatest mood, but at the same I was more relaxed and patient probably because I was only expecting a few students to be there. As expected, there were around three to four students forming a straight line, except for one kid… In front of me was a large kid who stood a distance away from the majority. I do not remember if there were any teachers around, but if there were, I am assuming they probably thought he had the same idea or simply put: he is loitering. Due to that conclusion, I walked past him and I hear a quiet and derogatory whisper, “Hey! No cutting!” Hearing the harsh voice, I slowly plant both of my feet behind him. It was a bit different to be in a new elementary school, so I started off a little timid and obedient towards everyone. Also, I only had a quick glimpse of his face, but did I just see him eating small hot dogs?

  • Classroom Observation In The Magnet Class

    Though I could tell that they were curious to about me, but perhaps they were too shy to speak to a stranger. I could see this behavior I ne little girl specifically. While I was working with her table group, her classmate were enthusiastic to speak with me. I attempted to engage her in conversation, but I would only short limited responses from her. As the lesson began to wrap up we started to clean the classroom. I stood by the drying racks and assisted the students placing their work on the racks. After almost all the students had given me their work to dry I had realized that there was one last student to give me their work. It was the same girl that was too timid to speak with me earlier in the lesson. I noticed she was having a hard time carrying her large piece of artwork that was covered in paint. She was taking small cautious steps and a look of complete concentration. She was trying her best to reach me without dropping her art work. Unfortunately, as fate would have it the moment she reached me the inevitable happened. Her work slipped from her hands and landed upside-down on both the floor and my right foot. My main concern was to make sure that her artwork was alright. Gently, I lifted the paper and noticed one a few minor issues that were easily fixed in a few seconds. I showed her how to mend it and it was repaired

    I pretty much felt like an outcast when I began high school. Most of my classmates still had their friends from middle school, whereas mine went to the neighboring high school. Having social anxiety really didn’t help me either. It was hard for me to make eye contact with others or even bother to introduce myself to new people. In the first few weeks of high school, something had caught my eye. There were flyers advertising auditions for ‘The Little Mermaid’ production. Taking the risk, I decided to audition. Through the auditorium doors there was a grey table with upperclassmen talking to other students. Located on the table were different character scripts and a clipboard for signing in. One of the strangers approached

  • Field Experience Reflection: Observation In The Classroom

    This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on

    I have never been to Massachusetts but, thanks to a friend to is currently studying there I am able to witness the change of the tree leaves which is something I probably wouldn’t be able to see if she didn’t stop to take a picture. The idea of a person taking a picture of themselves is considered an act of arrogance but, a portrait of a person is treated as a magnificent form of art because it wasn’t like the person in the portrait didn’t hire someone to paint them as they stood still for several hours. One is criticized and the other is praised when the only difference between being that, “Durr hburr technology is bad fire is scary and thomas edison was a witch.” and “Selfies are the ultimate expression of modern vanity.”

  • Personal Narrative: Trapped In A Kid's Body

    My English teacher was a real jerk too. But, to be fair, I screwed up our friendship before it could even blossom. The first book he assigned was Lord of the Flies. I whispered to the kid next to me, “Spoiler alert, the fat kid dies at the end.” Apparently, I underestimated the volume of my voice because the whole classroom heard. And this one girl, earning her spot on a one-way ticket to my “non-friends list,” told on me! The teacher nicknamed me “Aaron the Novel Ruiner,” and ignored me the for the rest of the year. This was an outrage! He should have been calling me “Aaron the Diligent Student.” For God’s sake I had taken the time to read each and every SparkNotes before starting a novel. If that’s not an example of a good student, I don’t know what is. When we would discuss literature, my hand would dart up before anyone else, certain that I had just come up with the most articulate comment ever. I was rejected time and time again. The teacher would point in my direction, raising my hopes that my banishment had been pardoned, but he was only toying with me by calling on the student sitting to my rear. I now refer him to as “The Wrathful

  • Social Observation In Childhood

    The young boy started off his lunch recess on the jungle gym. He had a few other friends (boys and girls) around him and they were all showing off their skills on the monkey bars. Then, one of his friends started to what looked like to be a competition to see who could race across the monkey bars the fastest and the rest of the group seemed to follow along by starting to race. A boy who was not part of the original group walked towards the monkey bars and did not seem to be very happy or even have a friendly approach walking toward the group. When he made it up to the group, it did not look like a friendly conversation, it looked as if he had said something mean or rude to upset the boy I was observing. The newer boy could have teased him in an instrumentally aggressive fashion “to gain peer approval,” or he may have said something relationally aggressive “inte...

    My brother stood tall a few feet in front of me. He was almost towering, and I felt myself become very nervous. With his head held high, he walked over to me. He asked how I was doing; I told him that I was fine. My brother flipped his head back in a cocky manner, as if to emphasize his ear-length hair. I secretly rolled my eyes. Making small talk, I asked him how school was going. He replied that it was great and that all his teachers loved him. He also commented on how he might be playing baseball for his college again this year. I smiled and said that that was wonderful. He didn't bother to ask how school was going for me. Feeling strange, I told him that I had to run. We said our goodbyes and he began to leave. As he left, I noticed the way he walked. It wasn't a normal walk. It was a walk that commanded everyone's attention. It was a steady stride. With his shoulders back and head up, I could tell that everyone at the grocery store was watching him. Unfortunately, so could he.
