Feeling Truly Educated
Most teachers just give you a textbook and some notes about that certain subject or unit and then expect you to know it for the quiz or test. But that's not the case with most students, they have to get all the attention of that subject, talk it out with other students get their feedback of what they learned, or even connect the subject with what they love. Which is exactly how I truly learned. Biology 1 and Biology 2 was not my favorite subject nor my best subject in high school. However, my teacher was what got me through it all. When someone is being truly educated, they know the information, facts, and can relate that to their everyday life and all they really need is a little help to get them by.

She came up with different ways to learn a subject without making it boring. She also designed the course to make her students; like myself, to be successful in biology. Eric Jensen in “Enhancing the brain through Skilled Learning” talks about what characteristics someone can do to learn or grow the brain on something new, like a certain subject in school. As Jensen stated “It's essential to pay fixed attention.The more the students mind wanders, the less the rate of change.” (18) Which is exactly what my teacher did, she made sure we were all focused on that unit with no distractions throughout the hour. I could see a difference of me learning when I did not have any distractions and stayed focus the whole time rather than if I was to lose focus, I would've lost my whole train of thought and be lost.
I have had many classes that I have had a hard time in, which dont we all, nobody is perfect and we all have flaws. But I am proud to say that I knew biology was going to be a hard class for me and not going to lie I was scared if I would even pass the class with a C. But thanks to my teacher I passed with a low A which is the best feeling ever!I feel like I truly learned Biology in her class and which can help me in the future. For instance if I have to take another biology class, I know I will have no problem at all because she taught me everything I needed to
