    I cannot even begin to explain how it varies between how my mom and her seven siblings were all taught and raised. My older sister Tasha was usually the reason most of the rules I have today, were put in place. She was kind of a rebel child. Brittany followed in her footsteps. I threw my parents for a loop when I graduated not only from Utica High School, but from Career Technical Education Center of Licking County with honors and passing my registry exam becoming a Registered Medical Assistant.

    He stressed the part of language and the significance of cooperations and relationships amongst grown-ups and kids. He trusted that the individuals, such as teachers, parents/guardians or people of kin, help build the learning of children. This was obvious in my observation, the teacher was a good model of this. For the first part of the day (during free time), the teacher allow the students to explore and play to their liking. But to the class being small, she could see and what everybody was doing without strolling around the room. One thing I notice was how well behaved the the kids were, which reduced the requirement for the teacher to constantly watch out for troublemakers. While four of the children where playing the duck, duck, goose game, she strolled over to them and began walking behind the leader and tapping the kids on the heads too, they thought it was so amusing. She encouraged the "goose" to run and catch the leader. The first boy that was selected as a goose, became a little upset when they did not catch leader. The teacher took an positive approach and explain to the young boy, that it was okay, it was game and that he would get another chance. Overall, the kids connected and played with each other well. I could see that

  • Dead Poets Society Coming Of Age Essay

    520 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Dead Poet’s Society” is a film set in the late fifties at a prestigious school for boys called the Welton Academy. The story focuses on an unorthodox English teacher and his impact upon his students, especially a group of seven boys. The primary focus of this film, in my opinion, is the theme of coming of age. The film itself highlights many important and relevent issues that teenagers face in the process of trying to find out who they are as a person. The students are constantly pressured to conform by adults throughout most of the film. Although these adults are only trying to help the boys, it is important that they figure themselves out and develop their own way of thinking. When the boys realize this, they grow up themselves. The character of Todd is a fantastic example of this. Throughout most of the film, this shy boy is ultimately unwilling and reluctant to go against what he is told. When Neil commits suicide, he begins to see the world in a very different way and understands that sometimes questioning the decisions and regulations accepted by society is necessary.

Thinking back now, the frustration I feel eats away at me constantly that I was not more thankful and did not do more to help. This is most definitely a lesson that is learned better late than never.
