Maria Mishkov is a friend of mine that is 20 years old and lives in Gig Harbor, Washington. She’s tall, has long brown hair, brown eyes and always carries a smile with her. She currently works at an aerospace company, but it took her a while to get to where she is now. With all the distractions in her life outside of school, she still managed to be focused on her school work.
As she was approaching me, there was this feeling that she wasn't planning to spend more than five minutes at this interview, but we still gave it a shot. We sat there for a while discussing life and then towards the end we actually got to the interview. The first few questions were about her childhood and how she grew up. So when she was asked about her childhood and how she got through it, she replied “When I was younger, people made fun of my culture all the time, and they still do, but back then I didn't know how to respond to what they had to say but now I don't let that happen.” This quote really shows that part of growing up is to be able to overcome your past struggles and be able to step up for yourself. As she was about to finish answering the question, she harshly exclaimed, “I learned to respect the people around me, but except the people who show a negative

Most older kids don’t like any of their teachers except for one or two of them, but the teachers that they do like, they will remember them. When Maria was asked about her college experience, what she had trouble with, and how she overcame it, she thought about it and replied, “I didn’t like most of my teachers, but there was one professor that helped with every and made sure that every student passed with at least a B...I wish all teachers were like that.” This quote shows that teachers are a big part of a student life, and if it is a good teacher, the students will be
... remove their negative thoughts and they should not rely on teachers alone. They should learn from the teacher while he or she learns from the entire students”.
Additionally, she stresses that the values of her childhood helped her to develop respect for different people. Her father influenced her a lot to feel comfortable just the way she is around her hometown; ...
For this assignment, I chose to interview Ms. Stephanie Sandate. I chose her because I not only respect her as my immediate supervisor and as an educator, but I genuinely like her and enjoy working with her every day. Ms. Sandate was born in Texas, but has spent quite a bit of time in Mexico and grew up speaking Spanish. She has told stories of her summers in Mexico and staying with her Spanish speaking grandmother. She even pokes fun at me for the way I pronounce my last name and said her grandmother would slap her if she said “Caballero” the way I do.
The interview I conducted took place in the courtyard of my complex in Smallville, with the interviewee and myself. For the purpose of his paper and to protect the adolescent privacy lets call her Regina. Regina is a fourteen-year-old adolescent female of Africa American descent. She is above average in height and carries a very shy and nonchalance deposition. She is a very attractive young lady and does above average work in her school setting. She appears to be a normal every day child with a lifetime of experiences awaiting her.
...Also an important quote is when she says, "But today I realize I've never really known what it means to be Chinese. I am thirty-six years old" (857). Even though she was in her 30's and still had that identity crisis, it was uplifting knowing that all it took for her to resolve that conflict was one meeting with her sisters.
Teachers help us expand and open our mind by giving us skills throughout students’ early life to help students when they are older. By learning information from teachers, students become better people, in a couple of ways. Besides inquiring knowledge from their teachers, students learn to work with one another, open their mind to other peoples’ thoughts and ideas, respect one another, and learn different techniques for life’s issues.
"How about I believe in the unlucky ones? If I don't I'd probably go crazy."(Laura Dern, October Sky) This could arguably be the most important line in the entire movie, in my opinion. This teacher recognizes the potential in every student, not only the ones with visible ability. This, I would hope, would be the goal of every teacher.
In Conclusion, I think teacher’s shouldn’t be like a “wild animal “or impetuous (294). Teachers should not be abusive like the teacher in the essay. I believe if we can be encouraging by telling a student that they did good, but they need to work on a particular part. Instead of belittling them, ask them engaging questions to get them to expand their minds, or to think more provokingly that would have a bigger effect. If we find that balance in the “force” and fight for it and for our students we can have a positive effect and still be cool.
One of the main reasons I became a good student was my teachers back in high school, they had always respected and loved a good student, and you don’t have be a genius, just as long as you participating in their classes, they liked you, so I always fought for that sense of respect and love, also after I graduated, they were still giving credit of my dedication in the school, and that’s what I thrive for in life, to leave a good reputation behind me, and to always be remembered for my good

Teachers serve as the guiding force in a student’s life. They are responsible for molding a student’s personality and shaping his/her mental orientation. Teachers deeply impact our lives and direct the course of our future. One cannot deny the influence of teachers in one’s life. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that, till a certain age, out life revolves around our teachers. They are our constant companions, until we grow old enough to come out of their shadow and move ahead on our own.
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” ― William Arthur Ward
The relationship between teachers and their students is very important and crucial in their learning process. Let's face it children spend almost a third of their day with a teacher and at this they also spend at least ten months out of the year in school. It is extremely important that the relationship build is one that invites learning and makes the children feel at ease with their educator. This is why it is important to be what many refer to as a good teacher; or as I most recently learned as being an "intentional teacher". As most of us can remember a moment in our schooling years we might have had a favorite teacher. This teacher understood your learning style; she was fun and made you feel like coming to school every day. Well thankful to her good teaching skills or her intentional teaching she build up a positive relationship with you that was based on good communication, mutual respect and support.

...sionate professors who helped shape the type of teacher I would like to be. They found ways to talk to me in a manner that motivated me to want to improve, all while honoring the work that I have already done. I would like to bring this same moral into my classroom, when a child is motivated, passionate,and self-aware of their needs, strengths, and weaknesses, they can and will push themselves to improve. Students do not solely care about how much knowledge an educator has, but they care about how much these educators truly care. We shouldn't judge a person on how educated they are based only on test scores. The most educated person may not be the most suitable person to teach children. I may lack the test scores, however, I do not lack the passion and motivation needed to be a great teacher. If we cannot celebrate small successes, the final outcome is less weighted.
