Personal Narrative: My Experience With Mr. Bies

My high school career took a terrible turn and probably would of stayed that way until I met Mr.Bies. He was my teacher back when I was in the 10th and 11th grade and I met him in the beginning half of the first semester of my sophomore year because I had asked to do online schooling due to my anxiety.Now don’t get me wrong, I am a very laid-back and carefree type of person, but that 10th grade year I just could not shake my feelings of stress. This sometimes would cause me to have anxiety attacks, but then there was Mr.Bies to my surprise he was just as laid- back,slightly goofy as me but yet kind of inspiring. Now just to recap, Mr.Bies was my 10th through 11th grade teacher and I met him during a very stressful time of the school year for me. Ok, now back to it ; when I entered his class for the first time I was a bit unsure about how this will go when this tall,bald man in glasses walked up to me and greeted me.He did this in a very relaxed manner which

He then calmly replied before walking away to assist another student “ I know you this stuff... all you have to do is work a bit harder,and dedicate more time to your studies and I’m positive you’ll come out victorious in the end”. The words of my mentor echoed inside my head ever since that day and completely changed my outlook on school. In the next weeks to the end of the school year that followed I applied and transformed those words into a state of pure focus.As a result passed all of my remaining classes,I blew through those assignments like a jet soaring across the open
