Speech Teacher Reflection Paper

When children grow up, parents encourage their children with love and support. Their kids work hard on their work at school and managed to turn in homework on time. It seems that they know how to manage their time between social, school, and volunteering/job life. For me, it is totally opposite from the other children.

While I grew up as an only child in the family, I struggled to speak during preschool and kindergarten but I was an active student. When I entered first grade, I had a lot of problems with my speech. My first-grade teacher suggested that I should go to speech teacher. I went to the speech teacher for a certain amount of time and reported back that I had the hard time sounding out words and couldn 't speak clearly. My first-grade

I kept slacking off each class because I had to miss what the teachers had said or I didn’t turn in homework or forgot to write my name on the paper. Throughout the years in middle school and high school, many teachers and afterschool tutors noticed that I actively around and couldn’t stay in place very long.

I remember one good experience I had in past education was tech theater for last two years of high school. In that class, I could move freely and don’t have to worry about trying to stay in place for 30 minutes. I felt good while working on cutting woods in half, making woods into a box, or made wooden stairs for a play. I really enjoyed the class.

I knew what the book was telling to my brain but transferred into the paper was another story. Most of my teachers and tutors tried to help me but the strategies didn 't work out as they planned. They told me and my parents that I am smart but have difficulty with school related works.

During the years in middle school, I first started with the growth mindset and later on in high school, I turned into the fixed mindset. In the present, I come back to the growth mindset. I tried to understand why I got the math problems wrong or why do butterfly have different colors. During fourth to eighth grade, I gave up in the process. I slowly lose confidence in myself and slowly became anti-social or the outsider. I felt that I am not smart enough. By high school to the present, I began telling myself that I should push myself and let someone help me when I need help.

My experiences with reading and writing come with ups and downs. Before high school, I didn 't have strategies how to annotate the books. For writing, I struggle with paragraph structure, grammar and tried to stay on topic. Now I enjoy reading fiction novels and writing because I learn how to do it. I used to not feel confident in these areas because I thought it was hard and it was not my thing. I do feel a desire for mastery when I came into college. I also feel a sense of purpose about developing these
