In our lives as we continue to learn and grow, we come to find that there many things or people to be grateful for. As a result of the many experiences both good and bad that I’ve had so far throughout my life, I’ve come to realize that there are four individuals in my life that I am strongly grateful for besides the obvious things such as health, family, and other typical responses to being asked what one is grateful for. These people that I am grateful for are Amanda Ciavola, Lisa Hines, Ms. LeRay, and Ms. Kacvinsky. First I’ll start off why explaining I’m grateful for having Amanda in my life. Amanda and I have been friends for over a year now and almost instantly clicked and became best friends right off the bat upon first beginning to come around each others lives. Her and I both have a lot in common and similar flaws or struggles that we have been coping with. The one thing about our similarities is that it has allowed for us to be much more understanding and sympathetic with each other. She also one of few friends that truly is in my life not just to be opportunistic and want something, but she truly enjoys and values our friendship and the company which is a rare thing to find in people lately. She …show more content…
LeRay, is an art teacher at Everett High that I had for all four years of my high school career. She is the person who helped to take my passion for art and turn it into a career path for myself. Ms. LeRay is one of those teachers that actually is extremely passionate about the subject they teach and was able to spread that passion on to her students as well. She taught me so many techniques and believed in me whenever I doubted my abilities or wanted to give up. Often throughout the years, she pushed for me to enter in art competitions and rework my pieces to make them the best that they could be. Outside of the artwork and lessons, she treated us like her own kids and always was available to listen and support us in dark
She was my cousin from my mother’s side. My mother loved to spend time with the family so needless to say, I got to spend a lot of time with her. However, much to my mom’s dismay, her family moved away seventeen years ago. Yet I still have many memories with her, some
Mrs. Schuette was the teacher who made me want to become a teacher. She showed me how much of a difference I could make in my students’ lives. She also helped me find opportunities to start my teaching career by helping with the kids in the special education program in my high school. This gave me the opportunity to be caring, warm, and become interested in the total well-being of the students I worked
She was always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, she made my day better when everything went wrong and she was closer to me than my own sister. I know that she is gone now but she will
Gratitude is one of the positive emotions shown from research and clinical trials to enhance the general well being of human beings. Gratitude is defined by Emmons (2004) as “a sense of thankfulness and joy in response to receiving a gift, whether the gift be a tangible benefit from a specific other or a moment of peaceful bliss evoked by natural beauty. Emmons and McCullough also see gratitude as an attitude, a habit, a personality trait and a way of handling difficult situations response (Emmons & Stern, 2013).

She helped me understand some of the things I had problems on, but not all of them. The next test I made a slightly better grade, but not what I needed it to be. I kept going to toutoring but the math just kept getting arduous. My grades kept getting worse and worse. The rest of the school year I knew just enough to pass. I was finally out of eighth grade.
She was the most caring and dedicated teacher I ever had and she respected every student as an individual. On the other hand, she had a very negative influence on my life. She is the person who told me there was no Santa Clause, which ruined Christmas for me for a very long time. Another person who has had a great influence on my life is Mr. Robinson. He was my first band teacher. He is the person who convinced me to join band, which
Positive interventions have previously been shown to have a positive effect on those involved in these types of activities. This investigation hypothesized that performing kind acts and noting gratitude would have a positive effect on happiness as measured by self-esteem. Further, it was predicted that differences would be observed based on several factors: experimental condition, gender, and religious commitment. Participants (N=30) from a large, northeastern, urban university participated in an experiment in which positive interventions were performed daily for one week. Pre-test and post-test measures of happiness were obtained. The findings confirmed an increase in happiness following both interventions. However, the differences predicted based on the factors investigated were not observed.
She would always tell me I did an amazing job, and we would go out to dinner, or pick up ice cream for my great performence. When sick or stressed she takes care of me and comforts me. Sometimes when I go on vacation,
... fantastic role model in my life and I will always look up to her.
In this stage, I started to see her as an individuate person. I felt different about her than my other friends. Based on her nonverbal expressing, I know she feels the same way as I do. Such thing like when people asked her to go somewhere with them, she would say she won’t go if I am not going. We even discussed our future’s plan with each other. For example, we both agreed to attend the same college and take classes with the same schedule. We would take the same classes together if we are in the same major. Unfortunately, we are not in the same major. I am majoring in Business and she is in
She could explain anything to me and I would understand straight away. She helped a lot for my education and always was there to help. My parents knew that she could teach me and show how hard it is these days and how hard I should work. That is why they always made sure I saw her enough but it never was for me.
I never had a teacher that I clicked with. Changing from school to school was hard and anytime I would get close to someone, I would end up changing schools. I never knew what it meant to have a teacher care about a student so much. That all changed when I moved to Delafield, Wisconsin in 2007. I started a new school in the fourth quarter and everything felt the same. All of a sudden, when seventh grade came around, I felt like a whole new person. This is the year that I met the teacher who became a part of my life. Mrs. Wroblewski has positively inspired me to follow my dreams and be who I want to be. Mrs. Wroblewski is an inspiration to me and a role model because she defended me when I was bullied, gave me great opportunities, a great listener, and is always there for me not matter what.
