A Rare Encounter
Very rarely in life does one encounter an individual who impacts you in such a way that they not only become ingrained in memory, but also shape the type of person you want to become. For me, Mrs. Peggy Jeens was one of these very special and unforgettable people.
Although I only had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Jeens for two of my high school years, she affected me in ways far beyond the educational scope. Through her teaching, she showed me what true happiness and satisfaction were. How else could anyone teach for so long and still begin each day with a smile? With exciting and thought-captivating lessons, Mrs. Jeens managed not only to pass the information along to her students, but also make them enjoy learning in such a way that they looked forward to her class every day.
Outstanding teaching abilities, although essential, are not the only characteristics of an unforgettable teacher. In order for a teacher to have that unexplainable spark, you must know them outside of the context of school and have the opportunity to see their true personalities. I was most definitely able to do this with Mrs. Jeens by accompanying her on trips to Italy, Greece, Spain, and Morocco. During these week-long trips, I was able to get to know Mrs. Jeens in a way that most students cannot. I learned that she was an incredibly generous and fun-loving individual who made each trip an exciting adventure for her students. Even though we did not always encounter the best of circumstances, Mrs. Jeens always managed to take the worst situations and make them bright.
Although I learned many things from my association with Mrs. Peggy Jeens, the one I value above all is the ability to be happy with whatever life throws at you. Mrs. Jeens always emanated a happiness that infected everyone around her through her smiles, kind words, and loving nature. It is my personal belief that the most important thing in life is to be happy, as if you are happy, you are content with your life and want for nothing.
Because as long as I live, I aim to find my purpose, my voice, which I find most during my times of advocacy.
Censorship is something that can be agreed or disagreed on in today’s culture. Censorship is the control of the information and ideas circulated within a society (What is Censorship?). The twentieth century is really when this became significant to the public. The public has censorship because some ideas may be objectionable or offensive to people. Censorship is everywhere that is available to the public, like television programs, news reports, books, music, and plays. This is prominent because producers, writers, and the government try to make everyone happy and comfortable about what they are watching or listening to.
My room is the only place where I am most comfortable due to the way how I personally decorated it. My room fits my personality and nothing in my room distracts nor annoys me. Everything fits my preference: the size of my bed, its setting, its organization, and the low quantity of baubles scattered around the room. My room can either be clamorous or silent.
According to Bauckham, Simon Peter is “inclusio” throughout the Gospel of Mark, which indicates he was a major eyewitness that witnessed Jesus’ ministry from beginning to end. Bauckham identifies parallels in the Gospel of Mark with the historiographies of Polybius and the biographies of Plutarch. Per Bauckham, Polybius accounts of Scipio’s military campaigns includes an inclusio of Gaius Laelius, who was an eyewitness who influences Polybius narrative, like Peter in the Mark narrative.
Definition of Censorship: the practice of officially examining books, movies, etc., and suppressing unacceptable parts.

My bedroom could be considered as “cozy” to many as almost never is there a pumpkin spice candle being burned. The peaceful emotions it ignites can really soothe yourself from a bad, stressful day. Picture this- submerging yourself in a pool of blankets and pillows, with candles lit to your left and right, while watching your favorite show on Netflix. I would have to admit that my room is much more appreciated in the winter and fall than in the summer. The “dark” and “warm” vibe it gives off can sometimes be perceived as depressing in the happy, sunny days of

Censorship is a thing that stops authors from being able to write what they want. Writers want to talk about creation but they feel that censorship is anti-creation. Some of the most famous novels and works of art are banned. People argue that censorship force authors to use their imagination. Authors say that people who feel censorship is necessary is fearful of originality and challenging the limits. Censorship prohibits artist and writers to create true original works of art.
High School is a different experience for everyone and those experiences can be both good and bad. Sometimes you will be super happy because you get an “A” on a project or assignment, and other times you get so frustrated with yourself or a teacher so much that you wish you were done with it all. Overall, high school was an interesting experience for me. I was always doing something whether that be homework, after school activities, or even organizing events. It seemed like I had no free time at all. High school has definitely taught me many things that I will take with me the rest of my life.
The crucial importance and relevance of economics related disciplines to the modern world have led me to want to pursue the study of these social sciences at a higher level. My study of Economics has shown me the fundamental part it plays in our lives and I would like to approach it with an open mind - interested but not yet fully informed.
“Woolfolk (2013) pg. 509 noted that some studies found that ratings of teachers’ enthusiasm for their subject are correlated with student achievement gains (Keller, Neumann, & Fischer, 2012).” I believe Mrs. Doe’s perspective on learning reflects the concepts in educational psychology.
My bed lets me have the opportunity to have my own space. Unfortunately i 'm the only girl in my house. I live with five of my brothers and my dad, so finding a place where I can do work and
There are many things which make a teacher great and they all can`t be defined.However i`ve always considered several of them essential.In my opinion a good teacher is someonewho first of all creates interest in studying,doesn`t underestimate the children,has equal expectations of siccess from everyone and last but not least likes his job.
When I was growing up, I remember attending elementary school, learning a new language seems to be difficult at first, but I was able to learn the English language because of the dedication of one of my teachers. Now, as I reflect on this experience, it is obvious that she was dedicated and enjoyed teaching her students to be successful. I know today that she made a difference in my life as I navigated through my education experience and high school years to present.
