She would let her imagination run wild and this kept her spirit alive. Many people who look back at her story today admire Anne for her strength and optimism. Anne usually felt like “the world was slowly being transformed into a wilderness”, but she never gave up hope. She believed, “that everything would change for the better and that the cruelty would end”. Her writing revealed creativity, wisdom, and depth of emotion.
Diana can write away her problems and let them fade away it is who she is. She has Amazing friends that she looks for inspiration and encouragement. She not only has the worst yet best parents in the world. They are supportive and they are crazy. She would like others to know she is special, she knows she has a need to be free.
Antonia was a young girl of Bohemian ethnicity. She did not have quite the same raising as Jim did. Her family life was not a good one. She was quite the optimist because no matter how many problems in life she had, she always had a good attitude about it. She was a really good person.
Henrietta truly took to heart the idea Elie portrays in realizing one's self worth and not to treat oneself or others as an abstraction. She truly embodied this value by stepping out and caring for others, along with herself. Henrietta’s cousin and dear friend Sadie confided with Rebecca “Hennie made life come alive--- bein with her was like bein with fun. Hennie just loves peoples. She was a person that could really make the good things come out of you” (Skloot, 43).
She stayed modest and never let the fame go to her head. She remained a trusting sister, a respectable daughter, and a faithful and true wife. She appreciated her family and treated her staff like family as well. Selena was a very agreeable person and this influenced her to share her wealth and opportunities with the people she loved. Perhaps Selena’s downfall was the vulnerability in her character.
They took schooling serious, even though Sheila had endured a limited education. This shows me that her and her family has a persevering spirit and wants the best in everything. Sheila’s cousin, Nicole, also had a great interest in learning and I personally love that she took her experience with computers and taught other people about it, and she did it when knowledge of computers was also very limited. What I like about Yolanda is that she uses music as a way of expression. This was interesting to me because I can relate to it.
Williams is truly a gift that only comes sparingly to one. Often we are stuck with teachers who think they know things but are actually filled with false knowledge. But, Mrs. Williams was genuine and honest. One could say that she had a very knowledgeable vibe about her. I believe Mrs. Williams left an impact on every child who was blessed enough to have her.
Daisy Buchanan was extremely charming and many men fell for her because of her voice “Daisy’s murmur was only to make people lean toward her” (Fitzgerald, 9). She was an ideal girl that all men wished to find in their lives. She had habits that were endearing without her even trying. People tend to just find themselves leaning toward
Jeannie, the inspiration for it all, seemed like a woman of true love for what she did and how much she loved kids. Krosoczka furthermore gave back to the people that gave to him with the book and also created this amazing day for the lunch ladies to feel even more appreciated. After reading the article it made me look at what other people who aren’t as appreciated. For example, police officers, crossing guards, and post officers, it makes me think that these people do things that don’t receive a lot of recognition. However, they’re not in need of a day, but they should deserve some type of recognition for what they do for the community.
I felt that there were a lot of things I did well as a teacher. It didn’t take a lot of time for the students to open up to me, and feel comfortable to ask questions. I really enjoyed answering the questions each student had, and even teaching some students how to conjugate verbs and use them. I also thought that I did a great job in encouraging the students, and not letting them just slip by when I knew they were capable of doing better. In one case, we all had to make a fool of ourselves by dancing to the alphabet song, but I can guarantee that the students won’t soon forget the words to the song.
