I am currently a sophomore in college. This time in my life is essential in and for my future development. My identity is growing and cementing as I learn new things every day and find new things about myself, who I really want to be, and what my future plans may entail. Currently, I am single, but growing in other areas of my life, and learning how to cope with world, matures me more in what kind of girl I could potentially seek out or marry some day in my future. As for work, I have been working in one way or another since I was 14.
One of Mr. Bostwicks many mantras he has us memorize is something I think really helps me and it goes a little something like this “ words make up phrases and clauses, phrases and clauses makes sentences, sentences makes paragraphs, and paragraphs makes composition.” Altogether I give mister Bostwick my SEAL of approval. I think I have done something pretty amazing in this essay I have summed up my high school English career into a 2 pages. I have had my troubles in the past. I have my troubles now. I have had a great year with Mr. Bostwick.
I was in for a big surprise. When middle school began, I thought I was right at first. The work was pretty easy and if I failed a test, my teachers would let me re-take it. However, when the first semester
This section has made me realize that a 3.4 or 3.5 would still put me in great shape for my future. This allows me to relax a little more and take in the experience of college. One last section that spoke to me directly was the “jobs during college” section; I have always had a job while in school. Even in college now, I have to ask myself why I have this job, I believe that this job is a
An active learner is one who understands new information by doing something with it, and they strive to take a greater responsibility for their own learning, and they take advantage of extra credit opportunities. This fits my learning style very much so. When I am learning something I take what I learn and apply to my homework in that specific subject or use it in other subjects. Also I take responsibility for my own learning by going to get help on what I do not understand, and I always jump at the extra credit when it is available. An intuitive learner is one who prefers to take information in an abstract form such as ideas, images or ideas.

Recognizing that at the end, hard work pays off and you can appreciate that experience that was important to you. Entering into high school, the only thing that seemed important to me was Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC). I instantly fell deeply in love with the program and all the foundations that it instilled within me. The reason for being interested into getting into the program was from my mom. Also, I enjoy
However for the few Caucasian students, my friends say that they were always pushed to succeed, not out of the doors. One of my friends, Brittney, would say how simply because her parents were on welfare that she felt as if she would just amount to that in her future if she did not have any support. That story stood out to me when you stated “a supportive and trusting environment provides ‘identity security’ to students, who are then emotionally more ready to challenge the stereotypical myths” (196). The previous quote really hit home for me. All it really takes is for one teacher, just one, to give you the extra push that you need to succeed academically.
It was only when I finally entered college that I realized I had always loved working with, and the idea of taking care of children; and what I truly wanted to do with the rest of my life was to teach children with mental disabilities. My career goal, which I have slowly been working towards throughout my 2 years in college, is to become a special education teacher for elementary students. I am currently signed up as double major in elementary and early childhood education and psychology in Queens College. I have taken many pre-requisite classes, as well as several courses specifically designed for elementary education. These courses allowed me to be taught by actual elementary school teachers, who have years of experience with working with children, and the knowledge and advice they were able to pass on truly helped me better understand what I was signing up for as an education major, and helped my improve the way I teach so that I could articulate in a way that would be comprehensible to students of a young age.
The teachers were exhilarating, helpful and most importantly I could sense that they enjoyed what they were doing. It wasn’t every year that I had an experience like this but there were a few more exceptional years to follow in which my teachers were phenomenal! My forgotten quest of becoming a teacher had once again been ignited through these experiences. This further fueled my quest for becoming a teacher. After my school years were long behind me I entered into motherhood which brought on a gambit of issues regarding education.
