Personal Narrative: My Favorite Teacher Alisa Fliss

Decent Essays
My favorite teacher was Alisa Fliss. Alisa Fliss was my 10th grade English teacher. She brought a passion for words, literature, and poetry not only into the classroom but into the students hearts as well. Coming from a school where we weren't expected to pass, much less enjoy school, her class was the one class we all anticipated going to, and the one class we all reluctantly had to leave at the end of the day.

Which gave us the courage to try, step out of our comfort zones and succeed. She reached out to

I never seemed to do well in that class.…

To choose my best teacher is difficult for me since each teacher was for a different course and they had a unique personality and style of teaching. Overall, I would have to choose Mr. Poska as my best teacher (not necessarily my favorite teacher). I took AP Calculus I & II with him during my junior year of high school, then I took Calculus III with him in my senior fall semester. I also happened to have him as my junior and senior advisor during Connect.…

    Alyssa, the Tutor I was sitting in my sixth grade class, eager to see what we would be doing for the day. My teacher, Mrs. Sobus, was passing out papers from the tests we had last week. I had a feeling I did not do so well considering my scores from tests in the past. I anxiously sat in my seat and looked around the big, white classroom covered in shark images. As I looked around, I saw everyone talking to each other and being happy with their grades and there I sat with a devastated face.…
