Recommended: The effect of pressure on academic performance

I remember my first day in middle school as terrifying. Walking down the long hallways I doubted I could accomplish anything. Until, I walked into my social studies class. My teacher’s name was Mr.Lawrence gave me the confidence I needed and made learning fun. And, it made me feel from his introduction i would at least have a chance in his class. Soon, I would find myself surrounded by caring and respecting teacher’s. The greatest gift I’ve received from my 6th grade teachers is, they believed in me. Their faith in me helped me find my confidence and determination, which helped me in 7th grade. In7th it was academically challenging but I knew with my parent’s guidance and newfound confidence , nothing is impossible. My 7th grade teacher’s helped me with tutoring, when I didn’t understand something in geometry my teacher showed me step by step. Which in turn, improved my test score by a lot of points. After the 1st quarter I was astonished viewing my report card, I’ve received all A’s in my classes. …show more content…

But, as time passed I started doubting I didn’t do enough , then for the last award the principle called Dominic Zuniga. I was stunned with awe walking up the small flight of stairs I was refreshed with hope. After the principle’s remarkable speech there was a plethora of applauses. I never forgot that feeling, being recognized for my hard work. My achievement opened new opportunities, just last year I was invited to go to the Ambassador's Leader summit. Where I could visit one of 4 of the country’s top colleges and universities for a week, I choose Harvard University. What is helps me get through middle school and still is, is something my mom put up for me on my chore list , “Everyday may not be a good day, but there's something good in

    ...ademic hardships. Even though I lost so much during junior year, I was unaware of the fact that secretly I was actually gaining a great deal of life experiences and real-life lessons for the future. Quite honestly I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I matured early in life; with this new maturity I feel I can accomplish anything. I feel I can make a positive difference in this world. I feel like this experience will be the primary step in my success, in terms of my career, and in the launch of my Children in Need campaigns in third world countries. I feel like the young superman who just learned how to fly, slightly aware of his magnificent impact towards the world.

  • Essay On My Favorite Teacher

    1432 Words  | 3 Pages

    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

Whether it was with friends or a teacher, we have developed connections and memories that will be with us forever, even if we lose contact with those individuals. Some students have discovered they have a passion for writing through a creative writing class or want to have a career in business from taking Mr. Ide’s inspirational marketing classes. Others have participated in CLIP or summer school to catch up and make it possible for them to be here today. I went to Heights Elementary and have spent the last 12 years with the same group of people. Attending school with the people I’ve known since elementary and middle school, and making homecoming posters with them for four years in a row, has given me a chance to get to know the people around me better than I ever thought I would.

    “Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops.” - Henry Brooks Adams. Starting at an early age of four, I could always see that my teachers had an abundant amount of passion for their students. In the first grade, I was put into a resource class mainly for my inchoate reading ability. I was always a little embarrassed that I couldn't be in the classroom at the same time as the other students. This changed as the years went by due to the relationship that my resource teacher built with me. Not only did she teach me how to read, she helped me understand why being able to read was so important. Some of the lifelong lessons she taught me were based on building my confidence, and showing me that i should never be ashamed

    8th has been an amazing year so far. I have made many memories. I am very excited to go to High school next year. My favorite thing about middle school was the field activity program. We went on many exciting trips. My favorite subject in middle school was Technology. We got to build a lot of projects and had fun while building them. In 7th grade, we built a Seaperch submarine. We got separated into groups and had to work with our group to build the Seaperch. We learned to solder because we had to solder a part of the Seaperch. Our group had to make that we worked together to get our project done and not lose any of the parts. At the end, when everyone in our class was done with building their Seaperch we got to race them in a pool. In 6th grade, we built the m-bot. You had to work with your shoulder partner to build your M-Bot and then you had to write a program on the computer in order for the m-bot to move. When everyone was done with building their m-bots, Mr. Barnes made a course and our m-bot had to move through the course without crashing into anything.

  • The Problem With Overcrowded Classrooms

    "Amy, you are really getting great at memorizing you times tables," said Mrs. Field, my first grade math teacher, "here is your sticker, and I will put a star next to your name for finishing the 3's times table!" I loved receiving my stickers and I especially loved getting a star next to my name. These small acts made me feel so special, that I had really done something great. This is how I remember my teachers from kindergarten until the fourth grade. Every teacher I had was encouraging, loving, and supportive of each student that they taught. If one student fell behind, the teacher made extra sure to teach and re-teach the subject until it was understood. Once I entered the fifth grade and into middle and high school, each teacher that I had tried to be encouraging, loving, and supportive of their students; however, my teachers often had too many students to give the individual attention that so many children need. When I began to fall behind in certain subjects, my teachers tried to help but were often unable to teach and re-teach, because they had no choice but to continue on with their lesson plans. I continued to fall further and further behind; therefore, I had to spend many hours after school working on my homework problems with my parents. Up until the fifth grade, I attended private school with about 15-20 students in my class; from the fifth grade on, I attended public school with about 30-35 students in each of my classes. This high number of students in my public school classrooms had a negative effect on my learning experiences.

    Having spent twelve years of my school life in just one small red brick building, the years tend to fade into each other. But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior year of high school, where I finally began to appreciate what this institution offered to any student who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I simply did not feel motivated toward a subject enough to do the homework well, and seeing the same familiar faces around ever since I was 5 years old grew very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.
