It was Tuesday, September 2, 2014. The time was around 7:10 AM. This was the first day I became an official high school student at Alpena High School in Alpena, Michigan. I was nervous coming to the high school but I realized that after awhile it was not so bad and being a high school student it was actually somewhat fun. Being a student in high school, I have learned how to become an individual and how to express myself. I have gained experience and guidance from various teachers on how to become an individual in the real world. I have also taken classes on how to express myself and how to become an individual. Being at Alpena High School I have really learned how to become a perfect individual by expressing myself to world. I have expressed myself to the world by …show more content…

Some of my teachers have really brought out my individuality with hard work and effort. Which I am, based off of as a person hard work and effort. For example, my current English teacher has taught me how to become an individual even though I have had him for a short period of time. He teaches about the real world, which has also brought out my individual self. Another example of a teacher who has brought out my individuality is my current Algebra II teacher. He has taught me that you can learn from your mistakes with hard work and effort. He has taught me to be more confident in learning math.The last teacher who has brought out my individual self is my French teacher.

She has made me a more outgoing person and made me do things out of my comfort zone with various projects and presentations. Finally, I see these teachers as a guiding principle but, not something that should be avoided because, these two individuals have brought out my

When people hear the term war, they automatically presume it as a negative event in time. The mass amounts of death, injuries, and families destroyed would make one believe not a single positive can come from it, although this is not always the case; there are many positives that can come from a nation fighting a strong battle. Canada benefitted from the war due to it helping end The Great Depression in 1939, women involvement increased, and the nation of the strong and free gained more military independence. World War Two made a large positive impact because it helped eliminate the dilemma that caused great hardship from 1929-1939; the event is known as The Great Depression. People lost their jobs, went into poverty, and could not meet

For example, I have taught myself, through numerous years of practice, the frustrating game of golf, which proves to me again and again that I must always stay optimistic and keep a positive attitude or I will never improve. You stay upbeat when you are having an off day, and you enjoy the days when you play well. You take the bad along with the good. In golf and school alike, I love taking on the challenges that come my way because I know that if I don’t give up and hold onto my sense of optimism, my persistence and consistent effort will sooner or later pay

I personally connected to this because in the past I have teachers that I have connected with and learned a lot from, and I had other teachers that I learned nothing from. By having the right people in your life, you are more apt to do well. When a teacher is inspired by the subject they are teaching, they tend to put a lot more time and effort into teaching the subject. While I was in high school, I had a teacher that would spend countless time on certain topics. If it wasn’t for her keeping my attention by her stories and demonstrations, I would have never remembered the

My old high school teacher, Mr. Sandoval has had the most impact on my life. He not only was a teacher, but he was a life coach.

A few key things happened in seventh grade, my best friend/cousin, who did not care much for school moved away. I also had a few key teachers that inspired me and pushed me towards excellence. I am going to try to mostly focus on Randy Schmidt and Seppie Myburgh. I should mention that I was attending an international (American) school in Taichung, Taiwan at the time, which was another huge influence on me, but that is a cultural influence, not a person. Randy Schmidt taught World Geography and Language Arts and was a no-nonsense, pragmatic kind of guy.
