909 Words4 Pages

On December 12th, 1996, the greatest day of my parents life happened. Their very first child was born and my grandparents first grandchild. I have a younger sister named Haleigh that just turned 16. I am learning more and more about myself the more I glance in the mirror and look back at my past.
On August 11, 2014, the most terrifying and life changing event happened. I was told that we had lost our house and that we had until the 14th to move 10 years worth of junk out of the house. My sister and I moved in with my mother and her parents, and my dad moved in with his parents. My parents could not afford to move directly out at that time. Months passed and then I was told that my parents would be getting a divorce. That was the second worst …show more content…

I am excited to learn how to become more detailed in my writing and to break down information even further. Learning how to analyze will help me with my future career by being able to look deeper into a situation. I am also ready for the oral presentation. Speaking in front of people used to make me scared to death, but now I enjoy talking about something that I am passionate about. I am somewhat anxious about confrontation. I don’t do well with others asking me questions about a topic that I don’t know much about. I don’t do well with others getting defensive about maybe a statement I made or someone not agreeing with a comment I made.
In this class, not only do I hope to make an A, but I also want to be able to dig deeper and not just look at the outside.
I value an instructor who enjoys coming to his or her job. I want to be able to tell that they have a passion for what they are doing and actually enjoy teaching. I also value someone who is a passionate about helping his or her students grow and learn. I had instructors in high school who did not care about teaching their students. They were just there for a paycheck and because it was their job to be there. In my Final research paper I have many different topics I could talk about. I was thinking depression and teen suicide. I want to learn more about the signs of depression and how to help prevent it. I also want to look at what triggers depression. I want to help teens

Hi, my name’s Donovan. I’m 17 years old and graduated this year with honors. I was raised with Christian values in mind, and attended a Methodist school. I was raised in the Christian faith yet I find myself, as with some of my friends who were raised in the same conditions, we seem to be growing farther away from our upbringing as we age. I find myself simply not understanding as time goes by, a complete polar opposite from the song ‘Farther Along’.

Imagine being thrown, naked, into a tub of 35 degree water, developing hypothermia, and then being tossed into another tub, this time, into boiling water. Imagine being infected with a disease such as tuberculosis, and then being forced to work in the fields as a slave. Imagine being studied throughout the longevity of your disease and suffering by those who could care less about your well being and comfort. The ethics of historical human medical experiments, such as these, have been in question for a long while, and rightly so. We as humans have put our own race through extremely cruel and terrible things, and in no way is it ethical or correct to say that the hypothermia experiments of the Holocaust or the electroconvulsive therapy experiments on

The day of July 21, 2014 I learned a very important life lesson that will stick with me until the day I die; my eyes were opened to a new way of living. I remember the day clearly, as if a movie screen was perched in front of me and that treacherous day was playing in a loop. The morning air seeping through the cracked window before my bed was chilling. The vision of waking up to my mother sobbing will forever be engraved into my mind. It was very early in the morning, and I found myself feeling very confused why my mother was mourning, as I had only seen her cry once in my 14 years of age.

Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
