Reflection Essay: Missing A Day Of School

Decent Essays
Missing a day of school was something as a student I never enjoyed. I actually enjoyed school and being in school.As a student, I was not the brightest in the class, but I always worked hard and tried my hardest.

As I cared about grades and my social interaction with adults and other peers. I hope my fun personality and passion about school will influence me to be the teacher I aspire to be.
