Recommended: The importance of a teacher

Have you ever had known someone that you just did not like being around? Freshmen year I had this English teacher named Mrs. Bruce. She was young looking, short with a high pitched voice, she looked nice but trust me she wasn’t. When I first met her I was a retaliating student which she did not like, weeks passing she had to give me a side talk, after that talk I became her teacher’s pet, and now with it being 4 years later she was my favorite teacher throughout high school. Freshmen year I was very optimistic, but also very nervous since I was now transforming from being middle school to high school. Keeping an open minded to it, I had sadly ran into my first problem. Usually with a problem there is always a resolution to make things better, …show more content…

Bruce room just to say hi and see how she was doing. I did that because she had such a big impact on my high school career. She was the first teacher to see the good in me even when I did not show it. When I was applying for colleges she wrote my letters of recommendations, and she even helped me with my English papers from my sophomore year to my senior year, she even got me to be in the Best Buddies club. Senior year had just started and my bestfriend Nakiyah was telling me how cool her English teacher was, so one day I went to her class to go see who her teacher …show more content…

We had explained to her our history and how she has helped me throughout high school. I totally understood why Nakiyah was always talking about her, because Mrs. Bruce was an amazing teacher. For her birthday every year I would just get her something simple like a gift card to Starbucks but senior year I had gotten her a Nike jacket and Nike tights since I knew she liked to work out. Her class had thrown her a party and even though I was not her student anymore I still attended the party, because she was my favorite teacher. Finally, before I left for college I went to my old high school to say my goodbyes and she gave me nothing but words of encouragement and wisdom and I still thank her to this day. Now being in college I still keep in contact with her, and if I need any help or advice with English or just with college I can always ask

    During my first few weeks, I met a student named Joseph. He towered over me at 6-foot-4 and weighing 300 pounds. At first, I didn't know what to expect from him.I was surprised to learn he had failed the 9th grade twice and with this being his third try he was in the same grade as his younger brother, Jason. Joe and I became friends fast. I was treated differently because of my skin color but Joe did not judge me. Through students chit-chatter, I learned Joe was very popular and on the football team but had unexpectedly quit his first year. Joe struggled with his classes especially in English and Mathematics. One day in English, another kid was struggling to read a passage aloud, the classroom was filled with snickers and the teacher made the poor kid continue. After class, Joe comforted the kid and made him smile. That was his talent,, he had the ability to make people feel better.

Throughout this school year I have learned many things; like the value of sleep, whose really your friend, and that although very important, grades are not everything.

    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

    Walkinging into high school on my first day was like entering a new country for the first time. Unlike all the other kids around me I was super calm and a little too excited. Instead of sweaty palms I had shaking arms because I couldn't wait to meet new people and make new friends. That was always my personality so I think I had it much easier than the other kids.

  • Personal Narrative: A Midsummer Night's Dream

    1328 Words  | 3 Pages

    There was my freshman year when I required extra help for grammar quite often, which frustrated and embarrassed me. I felt at times as though I was back to the worksheets of sixth grade ELA-X. Ms. Rossetti, though, gave us some amazing assignments. We had to create Holden Caulfield’s diary and film the extended scenes to Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, for instance. Sophomore year is a blur, but Ms. Prestileo did keep my attention with letting us create original poetry summarizing pieces of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Junior year, though, is where everything swung towards English, and stayed. Mrs. Evers, who I always write about as my “best teacher ever,” transformed my English experience. She gave me freedom to write a novella about my family (this later became my college honors thesis that earned highest honors). Mrs. Evers introduced me to Herman Melville through “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” a literally life-altering experience (read that whole story here: www.theworcesterjournal.com/magazine/more-than-a-fish-story). She let me choose to write about loneliness in Frankenstein and always encouraged student choice in writing. My year with her, as well as my senior year with Mrs. Lambert, convinced me to go to Clark, to major in English, and to be a teacher. I felt “sure” for the first time with

    Talking to her helped me grow so much and helped me realize that I wanted to stay at Augustana. It is thanks to her and a large part of my own strength that I continued at Augustana and will be graduating in May. Obviously, my time at Augustana got better and I made good friends, joined my amazing sorority and met a great guy. I have never regretted staying at Augustana, but I do wonder sometimes what would have happened if I did community college first or transferred. After taking this class, I have realized that it did not matter what choose I made, because I still would have gotten a fantastic education and would have had many opportunities. Either way, I would have been lucky and I really appreciate all the struggles I had to go through, during my four years thanks to this

  • Essay On My Favorite Teacher

    Along with finding my passion for theater, I also found one of my favorite teachers during my time in Junior High. His name was Mr. Rodrigue, and he was my homeroom and science teacher for both seventh and eighth grade. He was one of the first teachers that was every real with me. He was a very open and honest teacher who treated his students like adults. Mr. Rodrigue had this wit and sense of humor that made him more personable than any of my other teachers. I loved how he gave everyone in our homeroom nicknames, for instance, mine was “Higgy-Baby”. To this day I do not know how he came up with a name like that, but I know that while I was in his classroom, I was never called just Alyssa. While I learned many new and interesting things in his science class, I remember more of the life lessons that he taught during homeroom. He was one of the teachers that was there for me when life got rough, he looked out for me during and outside of class. For me, knowing that I had him keeping an eye out for me made me feel

  • My Art Teacher Essay

    717 Words  | 2 Pages

    Having the ability to shape a student’s life is truly a gift; so many of my art teachers inspired me to follow my dreams. After hearing Taylor Mali’s poem, What Teachers Make, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher: I want to make a difference. Mali spoke with so much passion as he answered the age old question ‘what do teachers make.’ “I make parents see their children for who they are and who they can be,” this quote really moved me because I think in a lot of situations students’ talents are overlooked by their parents (Mali.) My art teachers always had their hand in the community creating sculptures for the local fire department or crocheting hats and baby booties. I feel good teaching shows students how to apply the knowledge they learned. I want to model what they learned so they can apply it to their everyday life. I attend to teach my students to be active members of society and be aware and respectful of others’ culture, and teach them how to apply the skills they learn in art in their everyday life.

    In my life, my favorite teachers were always the ones who taught lessons inside and outside the classroom. They taught us about our past, our language and the world around us for tests and quizzes while also teaching us how to navigate through life with their lessons that weren’t needed for our grades. For me, I wanted to be that kind of person. I knew I wanted to help others when they needed help, and I knew I wanted to do that as a teacher.
