Personal Narrative : My Experience In The Classroom

In William Shakespeare's drama, Macbeth, the main character, Macbeth, made many bad decisions because of his ambition to become king. He had many different encounters, including one with the Witches which made him question everything he ever knew. But, somewhere along the way he messed up and tried to toy with fate. Yet, it wasn’t all his fault. One may try to blame Macbeth or the weïrd sisters, though, Lady Macbeth is the most responsible for his downfall because she fills his head with ideas, she had bad intentions not only for herself, she took advantage of his nobleness, and she was prepared to risk everything they had.

I find myself reading this short paragraph over and over(above). My topic sentence makes me happy and proud. Going back to school was the best thing I have done. I chose to talk about going back to school to the “future employer” because it shows I am motivated as well as dedicated. This class has brought a lot to my attention. The mannerism that is expected in the “business world” is to speak and write well. It is extremely important to know how to write (type) a meaning full and proper paper whether it is for school or work. I have noticed a great impact in my vocabulary and writing skills. My boss told me on Monday he is impressed with the new docs I typed up for our new clients (with no help from him). I was not excited about this class

In this class, I have learned many new skills to improve my writing, and I have also learned new grammar rules. In regards to my writing, I have learned the importance of freewriting when beginning to write a paper. Additionally, I now know to allow ample time for revising and editing because I can look at my work critically for mistakes and make necessary changes. Furthermore, I have learned about grammar rules such as pronoun-antecedent agreement. This rule is something that I know subconsciously, but being made aware of it has allowed me to find mistakes I make more often.

Tuesday, September 12, 2017, I eagerly interviewed a fellow co-worker, Patricia Britt, a kindergarten assistant teacher at my school, New Hope Elementary. She has been a paraprofessional for almost twenty years. When asked to define the term 'paraprofessional', Britt replied, "An underpaid teacher who does just as much, if not more, in the classroom as the certified teacher but doesn't get recognized for it." In a sense, Britt is undoubtedly correct. Most of the time, assistant teachers are considered not as important or not as valuable as certified teachers. Assistant teachers can perform the same duties as certified teachers, but do not get compensated for it nor recognized for all the hard work put into the task.

My experiences with children in educational institutions and pursuit of becoming an elementary education teacher have enlightened me in discovering effective ways to read to and with children. When I work with kids, I review and select a book that is developmentally and cognitively appropriate for their age. Before I read the book to the kids, I read it to myself and see the message of the author and I generate potential questions to ask the students. Often, I ask students if they are familiar with a certain vocabulary word or if they have experienced an event that occurred in the story. I like to relate the content in the story to the students, so that they can comprehend better and learn from the story skills that will benefit them in the

Growing up, I’ve been told the same line over and over again, “Make sure whatever you grow up to be, you will love.” With this advice, I began my life journey of finding out what I wanted to be. This advice haunted my life for multiple year as I struggle to find what my life would become. This constant struggle had myself worrying that I wouldn’t find anything I would love. Eventually, my final decision was made. This is to become a special Elementary Elementary Teacher. Entering the field of education, not only seems what's right, it also seems like I could change the generation of children.

This Dalis Hernandez, I've done a couple of observation hours in your classroom these past two semesters. For my education class we need to interview a educator that works with students with disabilities and it's only fourteen simple questions. I was wondering if you would be interested?

When considering my transition out of the classroom and into a new professional role I cannot imagine a more perfect fit than the Volunteer Coordinator position. I have found in my teaching tenure that there is nothing more rewarding than having a positive impact on a young individual’s life. The Volunteer Coordinator position would allow me to recruit, train and engage volunteers for an opportunity that will hopefully be a life-changing experience for them and the individuals in the PALS community. To me, having the ability to impact someone’s life in that way would be constantly rewarding. I enjoy working collaboratively to come up with new ideas which would be helpful in expanding the organization’s reach. I am willing to travel and would

During this course, the class curriculum has brought up the importance of asking questions and speaking with others involved in a certain major or career. The informational interview project further proved why this is crucial and helpful. This project required me to step out of my comfort zone and engage with people that work in different occupations. I chose to interview one person that is an elementary school teacher, and one that is currently the head athletic director of a high school. Interviewing these two qualified individuals helped me learn about whether or not these occupations are ones that I should look into. Learning this important information is vital for me because I am still an undecided student attempting to find choose a major.

I was sitting at my desk my in the second grade class. It was a regular day just like any other day. With the regular teacher, the regular lessons, the regular student, and the regular words the students said. They would never talk about what the teacher wanted us to talk about but what second grader does? They would talk about movies they watched recently and music they were into that day. But what happened when they learned that I watched a different movie? What happened when I didn't like the music they did? What happened when I had my own ideas and didn't blindly follow whatever they thought was cool like a trained puppy? I was stupid. I was dumb. I couldn't function like a normal person. I would never be important. No one would ever like

To excel at his craft, a writer must be in control of the words he chooses, and then use those words in ways that will both appeal to the reader and deliver his message. Linguistic elements, such as diction and dialogue, work together to define the author’s style. Diction requires a search for the perfect word, and is a meticulous practice that cannot be underestimated; it involves “choosing the right words for calculated effects [which] is at the heart of writing. Accuracy of description or exposition and force of persuasion depend absolutely on the words in which ideas, attitudes, perspectives, and feelings are conveyed” (Curzan and Adams 292). One way an author can make use of his carefully chosen words is through dialogue,

Like many people around the world, I have had many academic challenges throughout my 12 years of public schooling. In math, I don’t know how to add and subtract simple fractions from one another, then in science I struggle learning the basic concept of Chemistry. But one of the hardest academic struggles that I’ve had was when I was in 3rd to 8th grade when I wasn’t able to read as well as other students.

Thought the year I have taken many class in middle school, high school, and college. All does class were hard, but I never complained about it instill now. Right now, I’m taking a python coding class, it’s a requirement for getting an associate degree in cyber security. This class is so far the worst class I have ever taken. The professor in this class gives too much homework, goes to fast, and don’t explain well.

Leadership can be defined as the position held by a person who leads a group of people, the head of the group. A leader makes decisions for the group they are leading, hopefully based on what is best for the group. One of the roles of a leader is to influence and shape the members of the group to be more like them or to encourage the people to do something different. Leadership can go hand-in-hand with heroism; however, not always. Heroism can simply be defined as being very brave and courageous. A hero is a person who is praised for their bravery, courageousness, and honorable qualities. Most people connect heroes with the modern superheroes like Batman, Superman, or Spiderman; however, there are many other people that can be classified
