Recommended: Importance of a good education

All of my Towslee teachers were some of the best that I have ever had. This being said, out of all of them, one of the most influential teachers I had was Miss Boyer (now Mrs. Mellis). I remember that I had her for her first year teaching – it was so much fun. It was easy to see that she loved her job. I hope to be as enthusiastic of a teacher as her. being young at the time (it was second grade), I was still really impressionable and her teaching methods, along with the positive experiences that I had in her class, helped to mold my strong work ethic and yearning to gain more knowledge. To this day, I still use some of the little tricks that Miss Boyer taught us to aid us in remembering things. In fact, in my geography class last semester

    1634 Words  | 4 Pages

    A teacher must have a relationship with their students, their colleagues, the parents of their students, and just everyone in their building. When one thinks of past teachers, they don 't remember the lessons they were taught, the books they read, or the grades they got. No, what we remember when we think of our old teachers are the relationships we had with them. We remember the jokes, the condolences, the drama, and the smiles. My favorite memory of elementary school wasn 't the learning, though I did enjoy that aspect of my education.

    Dr. Amber Peplow and this Capstone Course taught by Professor Wise. I am including the names of the professors because I feel they each contributed a specific teaching style and their input in these courses had a direct effect on how I learned from them each individually. All these courses I have completed were touchstones to my learning. Each had individual sections of learning that excelled me to the next level.

    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

    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 his 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 safer going to school again.

  • Influential Teacher Essay

    Perhaps the most influential teacher I have had in my life was my junior year in a high school english teacher. Unlike many of my teachers that preceded Mr. Tufts, he effectively turned his classroom into a space where students felt comfortable sharing thoughts, ideas, opinions and creations with one another, something that I feel was rare during my time in high school. He introduced and fostered curiosity for ideas and themes in literature that I had never thought about up until that point, and because of our parting words with one another, he is solely responsible for my lifelong love of literature, writing, and my wanting to teach high school english. Upon reflection of my experience with Mr. Tufts I believe he

  • The Highlights of My Teaching Pedagogy

    1902 Words  | 4 Pages

    Through my own experiences, and as enforced by others' opinions in the profession, I have found that teaching is one of the most rewarding careers. Not only are you placed in the position of instructing and guiding children and young adults through the life long learning process, but you are able to give back to the schools and communities which have supported your early education and experiences that opened you up to a bright future. In becoming an educator, I hope to someday share the knowledge and lend the helping, supportive hand that I was once given, allowing students to formulate their own perspectives of the multicultural society and world around them. Teaching is a career I have been interested in pursuing throughout high school, and as my experiences and study in the field expands, I feel that my desire to teach will grow stronger and develop more soundly.

    I never had a teacher that I clicked with. Changing from school to school was hard and anytime I would get close to someone, I would end up changing schools. I never knew what it meant to have a teacher care about a student so much. That all changed when I moved to Delafield, Wisconsin in 2007. I started a new school in the fourth quarter and everything felt the same. All of a sudden, when seventh grade came around, I felt like a whole new person. This is the year that I met the teacher who became a part of my life. Mrs. Wroblewski has positively inspired me to follow my dreams and be who I want to be. Mrs. Wroblewski is an inspiration to me and a role model because she defended me when I was bullied, gave me great opportunities, a great listener, and is always there for me not matter what.

    Summer break was over, and it was the time to go back to school to my eleventh grade. School for me wasn’t that different as my summer break. I never felt like not going to school after a long summer break because I used to have a lot of fun in school. School for me was a place where you would socialize, gossip, brag, drive attention, miss conduct, daydream, text students, sing, ask silly questions and flirt with girls. I think now you know how my days at school used to be. However, a day has come that I would not expect it to come at all. I suddenly became a much disciplined student that I would not do anything out of the way. It all happened when I meet my new physics professor Jamal Betar who has wonderful qualities that amaze him from other teachers, and he also gave me the true meaning of education that I have never thought of before in my life.
