First Day of Class Essay

I have had quite a journey with writing, and all of the experiences that I have had have led me to believe that I am an okay writer. The first memory that I have of writing something is from the first grade. Our teacher would have us write short stories about whatever we wanted to, and then she would bind them into little books. I mostly wrote about my stuffed animals going on adventures. I am so glad that our teacher did this- it made writing seem like an exciting activity that was accessible…

NARRATIVE Imagine coming into your freshman year of high school english class, hating english. Now i’m not going to lie that person you are imagining right now was me. Looking back on 8th grade I didn’t even read a whole book! We would be forced to read books and if I didn’t like the book I wouldn’t read it, simple as that. Honestly as long as you're listened carefully to the teachers lectures you would be fine. I pinky swear promise, if you are coming into english right now with the attitude I…

I made it to class on time. The building was like a little maze to me. It took me a while to find the right room. It would not have been that bad if I had got in at the other door. I entered the room and quickly picked the seat at the back of the room. People said that students chose to sit in the back to avoid contact with the professor and to be passive, but it did not work for me that way. It gave me a wider view of what was happening in class. My first class was a history class about the…

certain days, the cooks seem more relaxed and others higher strung. The days that people seem to be more higher strung are days that the Class A managers and particular Class B Lead cooks work. During days like this, the kitchen has an angrier, secluded feel to it. People tend to be more reserved and not as talkative. Occasionally people will whisper to one another or even speak other languages to avoid being heard by others. There are also days were people have a brighter attitude. These days…

It is move in day; many incoming freshmen cannot wait for the day to come. Students are no longer stuck in high school and Mom and Dad are no longer watching over them 24/7. By week 2, walking down the residence hall hallway many students are in the same situation. Students are hungry, have homework, laundry to do, possibly practice or work, all in the same day. “I have an essay due tomorrow and I haven’t started any of it.” Can become something frequently said by a student. Many incoming…

heard the first week of school. Every Class was the same from receiving syllabi and continuous talk about the curriculum, it made college seem just like high school. It sounded like a breeze until you entered Professor Leach’s First Year Seminar Class. I had heard countless things about Professor Leach and they were all extremely positive, so I was looking forward to entering his class this semester. Now entering my second month of college, I have a few opinions and reflections on my class. My…

During my first year at Fulton Middle School, I was in sixth grade. I did not know anyone at the school, except a few people that enrolled in the same tutoring classes with me in the past. On the first day of school, I was extremely nervous. Butterflies flew and writhed around in my stomach for the whole entire day. There was a girl that I befriended immediately as soon as we introduced eachother, and I found out her name was Judy Liu. She was a very kind, caring, and loving girl who would…

This method worked extremely well in helping to not only keep myself organized but the students also. Student 1M (first day): Once he finished up his thumbnail sketches he went and grabbed some of the practice clay in order to figure out his final project. His goal someday is to be a bull rider so his self-portrait consisted of a figure of himself riding a bull. Student 2F (first day): Once she finished her thumbnail sketches I sat and discussed with her various…

First Day in College Without a doubt, every change is a challenge, and sometimes it is difficult to keep up with changes, but after a time they become part of life. Famous Winston Churchill once said: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” I relate to this quote because there were a time in my life that I wanted to quite college, because I was failing in my grades, but with the help from my family and friends I found a way to make best of my…

Capstone classroom. Without a doubt, the class was one of a kind compared to any other classroom. Before I get into all the action I have to start from the bottom where it all started. It was a sunny summer day when I received a phone call from Ms. Puentes explaining to me what this class would be about. Based on what she said it convinced me to take the challenge. From the start I knew it will be a hard class, but as any other class it will be doable. First of all, to be successful in the…
