For various reasons, I believe that Sixth Ward is a great place to learn. Every morning the announcement closes with, “A true blue jay will just be responsible, always be safe, yearn to learn, and show respect, have a happy and wonderful day!” Students typically recite this along with the assistant principal. Also, visitors can find this saying along the walls of the buildings and inside the classroom as well as other motivational quotes.

They’re many times when teachers will come into our classroom and ask us if we could work on graphs with the 6th graders, or allow the 7th graders to finish their Social Studies task during our class period, so it’s important to be willing to work together and help each other out. Thus, without having these personal attributes, I don’t believe my internship would have been this
