"Someone Who Impacted My Life" - March 15, 202 A lot of people have impacted my life before but above all the rest one person stands out, my fifth-grade teacher Mrs. Daniels. Mrs. Daniels Impacted my life by teaching me that not everyone is having a nice time. Showing me that if you do what's right even when nobody is watching you could still get rewarded and if you don't, cherish what you already have. Lastly If I'm having an absolutely atrocious day, how to chill out and relax. By teaching me that everyone can have a bad day I can understand how to leave people alone. If they are mad, just let them chill off. She taught this to me by almost crying in front of the class because she had gotten a call from someone and it had made her bad day even worse even though she looked happy. I don’t know what the call said but I know it made her cry. So just because someone looks happy doesn't mean they are happy and vice versa.She always used to remind the whole class everyday before we leave “Tomorrow could be a better day depending on how you make it.” That means what you do is your choice and nobody else's.

For example, Mrs. Daniels had to teach for the whole year as a teacher dealing with all these rowdy students and because of that, every once and a while the teachers and parents would reward her. She didn't always get rewarded but she still taught us the subjects without being rewarded.If she got rewarded she would be happy and if she didn't get rewarded she didn't care because not everything is about the gifts or the presents which means cherish what you have.

My biggest influence isn 't a relative or a celebrity, as it might be for most people. Mike Anderson, an author, photographer, and church leader, has had a major influence on me in several ways. He has shown me that my circumstances cannot dictate my happiness, that if I really want something in life I have to pursue it, and that faith is something that everyone has, regardless of their religious views. Like myself, he has had to face and overcome a wide variety of obstacles and trials and has become a stronger, wiser, and overall better citizen and human being because of it, and he has given me the strength and encouragement to never give up even when it seems like the odds and universe are against me.

In Arguelles’ essay when she is discussing with her son about getting good grades, and he hints that he should be paid for getting good grades, she states that “Doing well is its own reward. The A just confirms that” and she goes on to say that, “This is not to say that I would never praise my son for doing well in school. But my praise is not meant to reward or elicit future achievements, but rather to express my genuine delight in the satisfaction he feels at having done his best” (Arguelles, par. 4).

They must first see the differences between rewarding older and younger children. Children who have not yet gone through adolescence should be rewarded for things such as effort, teamwork, and perseverance to finish an activity. These are traits that they are still learning about and so, when they succeed in fulfilling tasks, then they should be rewarded. On the other hand, older children who are attending high school and college have already learned those lessons, and so don’t need for them to be acknowledged quite as much. Instead, they should focus on obtaining the skills they need to become independent.

“Kids should be satisfied with the warm fuzzy feeling of accomplishment.” Is this possible when being paid for good grades? When paid for good grades, students are no longer learning for a better future, but rather just for the reward of money. If the purpose of school is to educate, does the prize of cash take that away?
