Autobiography Essay

Autobiography Thinking back, there have been many different influences that have helped shaped and guide me towards the field of teaching. There have been five instructors that have helped me push towards a profession in Secondary History education. My sixth grade teacher, my high school history teacher, my high school principal, and two of my grandparents have introduced me and interested me in the field of education but more specifically in the discipline of history/social science. Along with…

hard work? In order to find out the answer, I decided to experiment. In Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography, The Autobiography and Other Writings, Franklin created a virtue experiment so that he could form a habit of being virtuous. His experiment consists of thirteen virtues, and Franklin practiced one virtue every week. Following his example, I chose to practice the virtue, industry. In his autobiography, Franklin defines industry as “lose no time. Be always employ’d in something…

Science Autobiography My first memories of science lessons in elementary school are from kindergarten, when we made sock puppets filled with dirt and grass seed. The grass grew out of the top of the sock puppet, and created a sort of hair for it. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. When I got the chance to bring it home, I put it in the window in the kitchen, so everyone could see it. I was so proud of that thing. In first grade we raised butterfly eggs into larvae to a chrysalis, into…

Autobiography I have worked with children since high school and waited several years before becoming a teacher because I didn’t feel I fit the teacher mold. I believe children should have choices, be highly engaged and learn through inquiry. My personal childhood education was based on starting and finishing seatwork assignments. Later in life my son’s fourth grade teacher inspired me to earn my degree in Elementary Education. She helped me see that I could teach within my belief system with…

Autobiography Life can be an exciting and also a very terrifying experience. As my life continues I grow older and possess new knowledge, but I also reflect a bit to the difference between when I was a kid to other kids. My family is from a Hispanic decent and both my parents were born in Mexico. My father came various times illegally to the United States to try to make a better life for us. Many times he succeeded to cross the border line without being detected; he has been deported many…

The experiences and memories you make throughout life shape who you are. Whether this is a favorite class, a job, or, in my case, the passing of a loved one, these are pieces of who you become. Although these events seem to have no connection, they all have come together to show me which career suits be the best. From the beginning of high school to this last summer after the death of my grandmother, I knew that pharmacy was the career for me. I experienced one of my most life changing events…

As a young girl, I had a passion for dance. Whether I was at school, in the grocery store or at the airport, I was constantly dancing. At two-years old, I was enrolled in my first dance class and by the age of six, I was competing in my first dance competition. Many people think of dancing as spinning around a stage, wearing pink ballet shoes, but it’s nothing like that. For me, dance is seven hour rehearsals, calluses on my feet, sore muscles and a closet full of costumes. Most importantly,…

My youngest son James eats, drinks, and lives baseball. His passion for playing baseball started as a young child, at the age of three. He continued his obsession of the sport by playing on a variety of teams in the neighborhood and on travel teams. He devoted all his time to training and participating in the game. Through his self-training determination, he perfected his skills and won multiple recognition awards. Most recently, he used his training as an escape when confronted with stress of…

My eyes slowly opened as I tried to collect myself. I was in my Brother’s (Nate) room with my siblings Nate, Zach, and Rachel. Being the oldest, Rachel organized us all together to start making breakfast. I started to realize that it was the best day of the year, Christmas, 2009. We all helped make coffee and toast to later give to our parents. While we waited for the water to heat up we practice our Christmas Carols we would sing to our parents. Once we finished making breakfast we gathered…

I got a new skateboard a few days ago, it was very fast. I could tell it was gonna last for a long time. Then the next day on an early morning I thought it would be a great day to skate so I grabbed my skateboard and went outside. I saw this young boy at the skatepark, he was able to do things I’ve never seen before, he was really good. I could tell this kid was important in the skating world. Then I realized we go to the same high school, he was a bigger guy so it was kinda cool to see a guy…
