Mrs. Sherman's older brother was one of her strongest influences. Every day when he would come from school she would be elated by his books and studies from that day. Seeing as how excited she was for school she would often play school with her dolls and cats while attempting to teach them everything she could. Once she had started school the ability to learn and teach others was immediately apparent. They had to stand in the front of the room and recite the alphabet and count to one hundred. Mrs. Sherman strongly observed the other students and noticed how some could not master the task from their teacher. She did not like to see her peers suffer, which led her to helping them during recess.She, would help her peers gain confidence and knowledge by helping them learn to count and recite the alphabet. The gift to teach was something that just came naturally to her as a first grader.

    How does this relate to how you see yourself as a teacher? I appreciated how the teacher was spontaneous in reading to the children. For example, in the story Otis makes a noise putt puff putted chuff and she asked the students to mimic the noise that Otis made. I think that by being spontaneous and being sensitive to the environment and atmosphere learning will be fun and more memorable for the children.

    Her Passion for Learning & nbsp; It took me eighteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has had on my life. She' s the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions about which artist she would most want to have her portrait painted by (Sargent), the kind of mother who always has time for her four children, and the kind of community leader who has a seat on the board of every major project to assist Washington' s impoverished citizens. Growing up with such a strong role model, I developed many of her enthusiasms.

    Looking back from this past year to my earlier school days, one of the teachers that boldly stands out in my memory is Mrs. Miner. No one else has named me as her daughter, Joanie Miller. While at Grace Academy, art class at the end of the day with Mrs. Frisk still makes my sides ache from giggling. During the days when there were no art classes, Mr. Peterson’s enthusiasm for hockey brightened the gymnasium, as he and my father practiced rapid-fire slapshots on some unsuspecting ninth grader. But, through all the memories, I was trying to think of one characteristic of teachers that has shown through the many years. I thought about their dedication, patience and guidance but decided that these wouldn’t do.
