Recommended: Essays on bullying in school

The first time I noticed that learning can be fun and I actually enjoyed some topics was in the seventh grade. Before then, everyone had the universal thought that kept repeating, "Ew school. I hate it here." I entered my science classroom for the first time and my teacher, Mr. DeSantis, introduced himself. He was a very likable man, but the real challenge he faced was trying to make these students actually enjoy his class and not give him a hard time because it is middle school after all. The year began somewhat shakey in other classes, but Mr. DeSantis made it interesting. We started off with the anatomy, the basics of course, and it was phenomenal. He taught with passion and sincerity, giving personal examples of injuries and trauma he

    On 11/14/17 I met Mr. Rasak at the office of Dr. Marquart. Mr. Rasak arrived with his wife. He walks using a cane. We had an extremely long wait. Mr. Rasak moved his right leg frequently getting up and walking at times. He reports the injection done on 9/7/17 did not help for the first few days. Then it seemed to “kicking”. He said it helped then seemed to peak before not helping at all with pain. He did report though that the pain is not as severe as it was before the injection. Dr. Marquart took time to review the prior x-rays. He showed Mr. Rasak the fracture alignment. Mr. Rasak asked if the bone had slipped out of place. He was told no that the bone healed just off the mark. There is a lot of post-traumatic arthritis in the

    It’s not always about what you learn in school, but how you feel when you leave. I want to help mold my students into model citizens, but I also want them to be lifelong learners. I understand that most students don’t care to learn my subjects. They ask the same question “when will I ever use this in life?” I completely understand where the students are coming from. I didn’t like all of the subjects I had to take in high school, but without those subjects I wouldn’t have been curious. I currently teach biology and there has been one subject that all of my students have been completely interested in. During our genetics lesson we watched a “Ted Talk” about genetically modifying babies. My students were so interested in this because it designing the child you want will be a thing of the future. I rearranged my lesson plans and we devoted more time to talking about making designer babies. We talked about how it worked and what things could/couldn’t be possible to do. We then had a small class debate where the students were able to present their arguments and defend it. Through this impromptu lesson, I was able to spark an interest in my kids. I felt like this was a crucial lesson for my students because I allowed them to delve deeper into something they were interested in. This is what creates lifelong learners. By showing the kids that this more out there than the mitochondria, they are more likely to explore other areas of biology both in school and when they are out of

  • Personal Narrative: Collaboration With Mr. Scully

    This week I went to Mr. Scully’s office to collaborate with him about my grade in Mr. Mercier’s class. I came to a compromise with both Mr. Scully and Mr. Mercier on how I needed to be diligent and enhance my grade. I have come to find that I have a lot of compassion and empathy to do this. To abbreviate the situation, if I am unable to bring my grade up to passing I won’t be able to play in my basketball game this weekend. My test seemed to be florid to me, but going back to revise it I now have a better understanding. I would never want to be deleterious to my basketball team by being unable to participate in the game this weekend. To have a camaraderie with my teacher is important because he is the one who will help me get to the point

  • Personal Narrative: Unfamiliarity

    496 Words  | 1 Pages

    Unfamiliarity, in the broadest sense, can evoke a feeling of fear or anxiety. However, my unique cultural upbringing has made me comfortable with unfamiliarity, and eager to embrace differences among people with compassion and tolerance. I am the product of a cultural infusion—I was born in the United Kingdom to an English father, but was influenced by the Turkish customs of my mother. While living in England, I grew up eating dinner on the floor, listening to Turkish music on the radio, and waking up to a poster of Kemal Ataturk. I spent every summer living in Turkey where I learned the language, saw the way different people lived, and became familiar with the practices of Islam. At 14 years old I was immersed in yet another culture when I

  • Personal Narrative: My Curiosity

    543 Words  | 2 Pages

    From a young age, I was very curious. Curiosity caused my mind to see everything from a different perspective than most. I saw what could be improved and how I could improve. For example, when it came to editing movies, I was always able to see what could how it could have been better or I questioned how they had created it. My curiosity led me to try many different activities throughout high school, such as film camps, stage managing for plays, yearbook, and even creating videos for Rochester High School’s awards day. Finally, my junior year, I decided it was time I made films of my own for competitions. I wanted to have something that I could call my own. When it came to the two films I did for contests, I was there throughout the whole process.

They taught us about our past, our language and the world around us for tests and quizzes while also teaching us how to navigate through life with their lessons that weren’t needed for our grades. For me, I wanted to be that kind of person. I knew I wanted to help others when they needed help, and I knew I wanted to do that as a teacher.

  • Teaching: My Passion And Passion In Special Education

    709 Words  | 2 Pages

    My interest in teaching started at a young age. I used to watch my teachers in awe as they were able to find new ways to get their students involved and excited to learn. Their enthusiasm to teach was so inspiring. I would often find myself using that same fervor as I grasped each concept. I, then, was able to relay it to my fellow classmates as a peer tutor. To this day, becoming a teacher is a passion that flows through me. However, my enthusiasm and passion are not the only reasons I would be a good teacher. I aspire to see a student’s ability to grasp the knowledge they never before understood. I aspire to see a student succeed at something they never thought they ever could. I aspire to not only support students with academic skills, but also with life lessons about the value of community, pride in one’s own ethnicity, good citizenship, sportsmanship, and more. I aspire to play a fundamental role in ensuring that all students from all cultures and learning abilities have the opportunity to be guided in a positive learning

  • Experience And Learning: Experience Vs. Learning

    As most say, experience is the best teacher. Those who teach are often described as being good at what they do, are given their honors as an end result of the performance of their students. It’s a fact that most teachers aim at learning as opposed teaching even though their job is to teach. In other words, the crucial objective for teaching is to have a positive effect on learning. In a nutshell, we can infer that the best way to learn is simply by experience. This has been established by (Boud, Cohen and Walker 8) that both experience and learning go hand in hand and is extremely inseparable.
