    October 6, 2016 was my fourth day visiting Miami Elementary School. Over the past couple of visits I have learned many new things as I observe the class and their activities. I have learned that by using music and colors when teaching, kindergarteners tend to learn better. I have learned that by rewarding your students when they do something good, makes the students want to strive to do the right thing more often. I have also learned that kindergarteners have a very short attention span, meaning they need to be constantly busy with new activities or they will lose their concentration.…

    Hi Dr. Hudzik, I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to touch base with you about a few things. I know I discussed with you at the beginning of the semester some issues i was having, however, more things have came up since then and I feel as if it would be easier for me to inform you about them via email. I’ve been struggling a lot with my mental health this semester and things tend to be getting worse rather than better. I thought attending class would help take my mind off things to begin with, but some days it’s just really hard for me to make it.…

    The mud cumulates around my hands as I grab the ball to ship it out to my teammate. I throw it as best as I can through the torrential downpour, and immediately feel a shoulder crush my ribs, causing my head to fall and slam in the mud. My vision became blocked by mud and bodies, yet I still try to watch as the ball is flying from hands to hands. An open space is cleared only feet from the Try Zone. All of a sudden, the ball hits the ground and whistle blows; we just lost the national championship by one point.…

    Working as a qualified swimming instructor after completing the STA level two certificate in January 2016 has sparked my desire to undertake a career in primary education; seeing the children progress and improve their swimming during their lessons with me has been truly rewarding and has given me the passion and determination to take the skills I have learnt from my experiences into a classroom setting to provide children with the best possible education. I have learnt that patience is an indispensable skill as not every child responds when an idea is first explained. This has shown me the importance of being able adapt lessons to meet individual needs; whilst continuously maintaining a positive and encouraging attitude. This is essential…

The Cambridge dictionary defines failure in three ways: a lack of success in doing something, the fact of not doing something you should have done, and the fact of something not working as it should. “The fact of not doing something you should have done” is the definition that I’m applying to this situation. There was a journey, an end result, and a failure. The failure is often the end result.…
