And already it’s that time of the year again. Break out those notebooks and sharpen your pencils because class is in session. Like many of us, who have been there and done that, my initial reaction was a couple groans and more than a few cries of despair (look, I’m just not ready to fight with Microsoft Word at two am, for a paper that is due in six hours), but, I have come to the conclusion that with each new semester comes new opportunities; new ways to improve myself from last semester. And though it is stressful at times, I can recognize that my education is a gift, especially here at Aquinas. As a junior I feel I have picked up some tricks of the trade to help survive throughout my stay here, and I feel it is my duty to disclose a couple …show more content…

The first thing you will grow to love is the Moose Cafe. The Moose Cafe’ is not your typical campus hideaway. Sure, you can go in and study for awhile; you can pick up a quick coffee and muffin on your way to class; you can even challenge your fellow classmates to PacMan upstairs. It’s more than that. It’s a community. It’s a place where you can go, and unwind with people that know exactly what you’re going through. And though the house coffee is hot and fresh, I have to encourage you to go with the specialty drinks. With a dab of peanut butter and a dash of vanilla, you can get a cup of coffee that is out of this world. Imagine the Moose is Rapid Central Station, and the baristas are all your trusty bus drivers. Once they get to know you, they can help you customize a drink that is personal to you. One that will get you through that last minute deadline or make you move that much quicker on your way to class.
Throughout your stay at Aquinas, you will notice that you can’t shake the feeling of being followed. Though it may seem erie, it is anything but. Here, we are joined by the friendliest (and often chunkiest) species of squirrels. I encourage you to pick one out a name it and be prepared to have it by your side throughout the next four years you are here. It’s like Hogwarts but instead of an owl or a rat everyone just gets a pet

It is the story of success and tragedy, of big dreams in small towns, of old fashioned values and tough-fisted business, of hard work and of hockey” (Gillies).

During my freshman year at Lakeridge High School I have learned so much information in so little time, I cannot believe how much I have grown as a person and as a student. In my Freshman English class, I have grown and expanded my knowledge of what I had barely known before. Coming from the Portland Public School District, I had not learned as much as the other kids coming in from Lakeridge Junior High. This was a major challenge for me in every class, especially English. First semester was extremely rough for me because I had to catch up on what everyone had already known for years; however, over time I have learned to develop my thoughts and look at different aspects of and see a situation through different perspectives.

The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not. My high school teachers would always tell me to wait for the bell, sometimes would not let me leave and if I did not pay attention they would yell.

I completed my practicum experience at Ellen Hopkins Elementary in Moorhead in a second-grade classroom. Mr. Larson was my cooperating teacher and he taught me more about teaching and relations to students than I think he realizes. The students also taught me every single day new ways to see certain concepts and positive ways to react in situations. I think Mr. Larson was an excellent cooperating teacher who helped me realize and see a classroom through the eyes of a teacher. My favorite component of the classroom was being able to build on what we were learning and discovering in ED 205 and see it first hand in the classroom by making connections between our readings from Ayers into seeing how the readings take place in a real-life context.
