Except, this was during time I should have been receiving academic lessons. By them not being supportive in my academic growth, they allowed for growth and learning in other aspects of life which did play a role in developing who I am and how I learn. During class time, I typically would walk around town with a few other students. We would socialize and did normal stupid kid things which we made mistakes and learned from. I was able to use the time to explore social groups within my school and figure out who I am and what type of person I am. I am still friends with 3 students from my high school, who I see on a regular basis, but deep connections never developed because there was such inconsistency in the school.

Thinking of my class as a community allows the class to feel connected and safe. I will consider the student’s background and assess how they best learn. Also, I will assess my own teaching and lessons to determine what works and what needs to be changed. Most importantly, I will consistently be there for my students and make sure they know they can come to me for anything, even when they change grades and are no longer
