899 Words2 Pages

My high school career took a terrible turn and probably would of stayed that way until I met Mr.Bies. He was my teacher back when I was in the 10th and 11th grade and I met him in the beginning half of the first semester of my sophomore year because I had asked to do online schooling due to my anxiety.Now don’t get me wrong, I am a very laid-back and carefree type of person, but that 10th grade year I just could not shake my feelings of stress. This sometimes would cause me to have anxiety attacks, but then there was Mr.Bies to my surprise he was just as laid- back,slightly goofy as me but yet kind of inspiring. Now just to recap, Mr.Bies was my 10th through 11th grade teacher and I met him during a very stressful time of the school year for me. Ok, now back to it ; when I entered his class for the first time I was a bit unsure about how this will go when this tall,bald man in glasses walked up to me and greeted me.He did this in a very relaxed manner which …show more content…

He then calmly replied before walking away to assist another student “ I know you this stuff... all you have to do is work a bit harder,and dedicate more time to your studies and I’m positive you’ll come out victorious in the end”. The words of my mentor echoed inside my head ever since that day and completely changed my outlook on school. In the next weeks to the end of the school year that followed I applied and transformed those words into a state of pure focus.As a result passed all of my remaining classes,I blew through those assignments like a jet soaring across the open

    Finally, I learned how to be more responsible by myself. In my last classes, my teachers were technically always there to tell me step by step what to do and how to do my assignments. In a certain way, it made me kind of lazy and entirely dependent of my teachers. However in this course it was not like that; instead, my instructor just gave me the assignments, instructions, and deadlines, and I must write my essays and summited it on time. This absence of guide absolutely made me to react that it was time to me to do my assignments by myself, demonstrate what I know, and ask for help just whenever it is

    As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own

Every time I saw him he would tell my not to do drugs, alcohol or join a gang. My mother was very fond of him because of the life lessons and tips he would tell me that my mom had tried to drill into my head. He would always tell stories about his past and no matter how tired or bored I was; I gave him all my attention because I knew it made him happy. Before I met him I was a stereotypical teenager very quiet and shy, but he broke the ice and stated to interact with me. During my time with Mr. Renderos I taught myself how to interact with others, take care and respect them.
