Throughout my high school career, I have had numerous inspirational teachers who have helped me to learn and be successful. However, one teacher in particular has had a unique influence on my life that will stay with me forever. That teacher is Mrs. Camp. I first met Mrs. Camp my junior year when she became my English 4 Honors teacher, and I loved her class so much that I decided to take her AP Literature class, which I am currently in. Throughout these past two years, especially during AP Lit, Mrs. Camp has indulged me into the world of classic literature and has brought out my passion for it. Thanks to her classes, I have realized that studying, reading, and teaching literature is what I want to do for my career. Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. That was it for me. I read this book in Mrs. Camp’s English 4 Honors class, and, once I read it, I never looked back from literature. Jane Eyre was the first book I fell in love with because of its drama, passion-filled, and complex character relationships, but it was certainly not the last. This year, amongst all the amazing books Mrs. Camp has given me the opportunity to read, I have fallen in love with Wuthering Heights, by the other Bronte sister Emily Bronte, and Anna Karenina, by the well-renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It is because of the …show more content…
Camp finds ways to make her classes memorable and fun so that we learn without even realizing it. She is always extremely flexible with our schedules and is willing to adjust assignments to our needs so that we can enjoy what we read, not just hurry through it. She uses unique teaching strategies, such as having us play Risk to understand the feelings of power and conquest of the characters in the novel Heart of Darkness. This quality is uncommon in teachers these days, but having a flexible, more relaxed classroom has enhanced my learning. Plus, it has made just a little easier to handle the stressful days of multiple timed writings and discussion question
Throughout my high school years the course that made the largest and longest lasting impression on me was Honors British Literature. Not only did the course impact me, but the teacher, Mrs. Cohen, was a tremendous inspiration to me. Throughout the course I was encouraged to express and exercise creativity while also recognizing when to stay professional and use academic language. My confidence in my writing and general abilities improved immensely. Mrs.Cohen would sit with us and casually chat with us when finished with our work and share her experiences and let us voice our concerns while giving advice.
Jane Eyre is about a girl named Jane who struggles to find who she really is and with it what she really wants. “As a model for women readers in the Victorian period and throughout the twentieth century to follow, Jane Eyre encouraged them to make their own choices in living their lives, to develop respect for themselves, and to become individuals” (Markley). One of the reasons why this book gained merit was because of its striking presence within its time period. During the “Victorian Age” woman did not have much say in society, so this novel broke boundaries to societal norms that restricted woman from things they have today. “Brontë is able to enact this tension through her characters and thus show dramatically the journey of a woman striving for balance within her nature. A novel creates its own internal world through the language that it uses, and this fictional world may be quite independent from the real physical world in which we live” (Johnson). Bronte creates another world through her enlightening form of writing that has the reader connected to the novel as much as Riordan has on the readers in The Lightning Thief. “Reader, I married him” (Bronte 457). This line from the novel is one of the most iconic lines in literature because after all the terrible things she had to endure, Jane finally
Jane Eyre, a novel written by Charlotte Bronte is far more than a love story. It is also a test of Jane’s own moral principles in her emotional search for happiness, independence, equality and freedom. It is through her journeys from Gateshead, to Lowood School, Thornfield, to Moor House, and finally to Ferndean that she is able to find self-fulfilment without sacrificing her integrity.

Lynnsey Tabor was born on April 30th 2002. She had brown hair and blue eyes. When she was younger, she was the nicest and the sweetest girl without a care in the world. She was a lot like me. Always with the guys and hated the prissy girls. She would always go to her grandpa’s house on her dad’s side of the family and all of her cousins were boys. So, she would always do the things they did, such as Legos, batman, video games and Youtube. She was a lot like me in some of those ways.

Mrs. Plot, one of the hardest English teachers in Murray County High School, was my teacher that year. She was a very determined and driven teacher that did not tolerate her students to fail her class, even if they were lazy. I had heard horror stories from her former students, but she was nothing like they said she was. She was the only teacher that I have connected with all throughout school. I looked forward to her class every morning because she always made learning fun. Mrs. Plot gave out good advice about English, but she also gave me personal advice and was more of a friend to me. She always knew what to say to me when I had problems. She motivated me to do better with my writing; we went to a journalism class together every week that year. Mrs. Plot deepened my love for reading and writing. Without her, I would not be the kind of student I am today. On every assignment in her class, I got the most feedback and it helped me out a lot. It took me a long time to become a decent writer, but with her help she sped up the process. I put all of my effort in every single paper I have written, especially for her

Although my field experience wasn’t in a classroom, I was still able to interpret my experiences and relate them to a potential classroom setting. For instance, despite the stable schedule, the camp seemed to lack structure. The instant I walked into the establishment, chaos prevailed and the camp counselors displayed little control of the children. It became clear that the leader was not viewed as an authority figure by the “campers.” To avoid this happening to me in a classroom, boundaries and guidelines would be established initially and coordinating punishments would be carried out. In a summer camp setting, no one wants to be “the bad guy” because the kids are there to have fun and remain occupied. Because of this fear and the soft-spoken nature of the group leader, she had no concept of classroom

Throughout my high school years, many teachers inspired me and others disappointed me. It was because of this that I decided I wanted to be the teacher that gives students the desire to achieve and not the teacher that loves to humiliate. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I knew English would be my field of expertise thanks to my senior English teacher. She was a teacher that set high expectations, demanded excellent work, and never gave up on me when I thought I couldn’t do it. Receiving an A in her class was the highlight of my high school career!
