An event that changed my life was the first year of middle school, I was around eleven or twelve at the time. When I first walked in the way it was organized really messed up the image of the elementary school that I carried with me for years. I am not going to lie either it scared the absolute crap out of me. The reasons why it scared the crap out of me was because what middle school meant for me was that the teachers would be more strict, there was going to be challenging work, and that there was going to be bullies. For me the teachers were way more strict than what they had seemed, for example, my social studies teacher (whom I shall not name) never took anything from anyone no back sass, no excuses, etc. Really some of the teachers were not as strict but also not too laid back, for example my English teacher would let us talk sometimes, yet she would always change her mind a bit. …show more content…
It was my gym teacher, and I know of course, gym teachers can be really laid back, or whatever, but this teacher was different. He would usually let us pick our groups or give the students more than one choice of activities sometimes. Really the gym coach or teacher was the most imperturbable teacher I had all year, and these three teachers taught me something that year. That something they taught me that year was that teachers have different personalities and have a different tolerance level than other teachers. That is how the teachers played a small role in my first year experience of middle school. Now for the class work and homework was very weird. Some classes I would get a ton of class work but no homework, but in some classes I would get little classwork but get a ton of homework. In my opinion, it was very annoying, because it would leave me just sitting and my wooden desk area in my room (basement) working for
We were not allowed to discuss lessons, and on math assignments, if we did the problem in a way that was different from the way we were taught, it was automatically marked wrong. We were taught in a similar fashion, frequently being told to shut up or whatever we had to say wasn 't important if the teacher didn 't want us talking. One shining example of the lack of respect our staff had for the students was an assembly that occurred in fourth grade. A student would not stop talking and the principal yelled at him to be quiet. The student stood up and threw a temper tantrum. The principal then grabbed him, put him in a headlock, and said, "Son, I swear to God, if you make my back go out, I 'll make you regret it!" These experiences lead me to believe teachers saw us as little more than an obstacle - something they had to overcome each day - instead of what we really were: young children, whose minds they needed to protect and mold into the future of this
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
It seems unbelievable my oldest is a few days off being a decade old. I know every parent wonders “where has the time gone?” a multitude of times during their children’s childhoods, but as I realize my son is over halfway to 'adulthood' it seems like the time has flown by.
The struggle of not being able to breathe properly, gasping for air while the fever inside was killing me little by little and my fragile self in the age of four did not know what was happening to me I was brain dead, more like clueless little kid almost having a near death experience of having a seizure that in the end it changed my life and the way I looked at it because God gave me another chance to actually prove to him that I can be someone in my life and grateful to be alive today knowing that I have family that actually loves me for who I am.
After reviewing my life, I have decided my life defining moment was when my family and I moved to Texas from Oklahoma. I consider this move my life changing moment because it changed so many things in my life. This move set the stage for an entirely new life for me. Moving six hours away from the only home I knew certainly called for many changes.
feel like we owned the school even though we had a new principal Dr. Sheffield things change
One of the negative effects of having so many students was that my teachers were unable to know me as an individual. For instance, with 30 to 40 students in every class gave the tea...
Many pivotal moments appear in a human beings life to change the way that individual thinks. All human experiences shape the way a person becomes. The death of my 20 year old second cousin changed my perspective on life. It was not because he was close to me or had a huge impact on my life, but because such a young life ended so suddenly. I got to experience how that impacted and even changed certain people. I came to the realization that all those stories on the news actually happen to real life people. These stories seem so unimaginable, but from that point on, I realized that anything can happen to anyone in the simple blink of an eye. I learned that although every human envisions certain things to occur in their lifetime, many aspects cannot
Many of my instructors, such as a high school teacher I had for both honors Chemistry and Physics reminded me of the teacher from the television show, Charlie Brown, simply droning on with no discernable enthusiasm or interest in the subject. These teachers taught classes that I invariably found “unbearable” as there was no thinking or experimentation required on my part. However the classes I excelled in always brought new variables to the table, and combined with an interesting subject invariably held my attention for the semester and beyond. Two instructors come to mind from my 15 years of education, and both due to the different, and often interesting approaches they took to
Along with finding my passion for theater, I also found one of my favorite teachers during my time in Junior High. His name was Mr. Rodrigue, and he was my homeroom and science teacher for both seventh and eighth grade. He was one of the first teachers that was ever real with me. He was a very open and honest teacher who treated his students like adults. Mr. Rodrigue had this wit and sense of humor that made him more personable than any of my other teachers.
classes were a tad more chaotic and the students had little to no interest in the subject. This
In the classroom, I want to be the same as most of the teachers I’ve had throughout high school, however, I also want to be different. My teachers often made the grades the priority of the class, and being in all honors and AP classes throughout high school, my classmates and I competed to be the best
I have had many excellent teachers throughout my educational experience, some of these have been wonderful teachers that have set lessons to life. Others have been boring, overly strict, unapproachable, and at times unknowledgeable. I have learned valuable lessons from both. A positive and fun learning environment makes students want to be in the classroom. The first step in learning is that the children must want to be there.
Right from the time we embark on our education trip, we come across different types of teachers. Some are friendly, some are strict, and some are the ones we idolize. We also dislike a few, who fail to impress us positively. Students begin to like teachers, according to their own individual preferences. They even classify their teachers into different categories, such as Friendly Teachers, Lenient Teachers, Perfectionist Teachers, Strict Teachers and Funny Teachers. All these classifications for teachers are based on some typical personality traits of the teachers. For ex - some teachers constantly criticize the students, some act like friends, some are fun to be with and so on. Let us explore them in detail.
The good teacher works with all students.A friend of mine told me how her maths teacher tolerates only students who are good at mathematics or those who have special interest in the subject.Towards the rest of the class my friend says she`s very exacting.She gives homeworks and tests without bothering to ask about difficulties.She doesn`t try to explain it and as a result many students keep getting bad marks.
