I want to thank my high school AP physics teacher. Thank you for always holding rigorous and high expectations of us as students and learners. Thank you for expecting nothing but the best. Thank you for requiring me to write extremely detailed and specific answers in complete sentences for every single homework assignment I turned in every single day.
Thank you for giving us the perfect balance between helping us out when we were having trouble and letting us figure it out on our own. I remember one time I worked literally all class on one problem and I could not figure it

So I read this one essay in my English class of the second semester. It was written by Angela Maiers. She has been in the education field for approximate 25 years. She wrote an essay titled, “Habitudes in Classrooms”. In this essay, she explains some skills to be taught to 21st-century students in the classroom. These skills will not only help the students in the classroom but also outside of the school. She says students can learn perseverance by learning the skills of endurance, creativity, and strategic …show more content…
She says students will be able to evaluate and clear their goal site. I agree with Maiers, because being strategic is a skill that I learned in the physics classroom. I want to thank my physics teacher for teaching me how to set up a problem in physics. His method of problem-solving with the variable list on the right, equation and math on the left, and answer in a box was very helpful in solving problems. Believe me or not, his method of arranging information and answer helped me not just in class, but outside as well. I became more organized and strategic. This has been my personal experience. I made less mathematical mistakes after following his

    Thank you Mrs. Hogan for teaching the class in a way no other teacher has taught me. You were always calm and understood why students did certain things. You would always make jokes so we are still paying attention. Sometimes you would get mad but you had a reason to be mad. Whenever a recent class got you mad you would always tell us that you were mad.…

    Sean, I agree with you having a strong and steady principal. I have seen too many schools that the principal wasn't strong enough and these school test scores and their ratings were low too. In order to have a successful school you need a strong and steady principal and great teachers as well. Selene, I was thinking about this strategy as well. It is a good strategy in which I was considering to chose.…

    As I entered AP Language and Composition, I felt confident and excited because I have always enjoyed English. I knew going into the class that it would include writing several papers, but I have enjoyed writing since I was younger; however, some of the writings are more difficult than others. For example, I seem to struggle with synthesis writings, whereas I tend to do well on argumentative writings. I already had an idea as to what I would learn and do throughout the class because I had spoken with students who took it last year, but I did not expect some of the writings to be difficult, or the Capstone paper to be stressful. I felt a little discouraged and agitated at times, but my confidence has grown because I did better than I thought…

    When we enter into the classroom every day and prepare our lesson plans, we are doing more than just repeating material from a book. We are sharing our personal knowledge with those who will one day control the world. We put a little piece of ourselves in every student we encounter. Whether or not we actually influence them is up to the student. Therefore we must make every possible effort to make a huge impact on their lives each and every…
