First Day of Class Essay

everything I saw. Every time I had watched a movie, I would act like the main character. If the main character was a superhero, then I would run around the house acting like them. Then as I got older I always I started thinking about careers for my future. First I wanted to be in the FBI, then I wanted to be an Engineer. Basically, I wanted to be everything that I could possibly be. Then I found film, in film I can create whatever I want. I get to create the story and that is what amazes me…

Lifeguard class was the way to go. Every Morning at 8 AM, I needed to be at the pool. Now at first there was definitely sometimes where I didn’t want to be there, but I just had to keep thinking about how this would help me this summer. This would get me a job that I liked, but not only that, it would get me a job where I didn't have to work a lot of hours. So every morning I was at the pool at around 9 and was done at 3. My day went like this.…

When hearing the words “writing workshop,” I immediately thought about higher-grade levels such as junior and senior high schools. I pictured teachers setting aside time in class, or even a separate class, for students to work on writing papers, mechanical skills, and the process of writing in general. Yet after reading chapter one in Teaching Writing: Balancing Process and Product, I began to get the sense that the simplicity of the writing process lends itself to be applied in a variety of…

just as I was. The class consisted of a giant mass of information. Our teacher, Gale, was a really nice lady but talked as faster than anybody in the room could handle. It was uncomfortably hot in the room, I had sweat running down my face.The class lasted about an hour and I walked out of there feeling pretty happy about my decision. The next class was the same, it was very stressful getting all of this information but we knew that the stress was well worth it. The final class was scheduled…

love this, for the fact that we even tested our rubrics through an actual cookie test, which was a yummy addition. A triumph for me in this class would be my Cause and Effect essay. I recall frantically doing my essay the day of and before Halloween just so I could submit it to turn it in and receive feedback (feedback is a gift). I…

Porky over here. Those thoughts and comments floated around the classroom like air molecules. Once class actually started, I tried my best to listen, but my anger was consuming all my thoughts. I then convinced my mind to move on and make the best of the day. My…

I will need to do well in class and employ my extracurricular activities wisely. Despite only being a part of the post-high school life for three weeks, I have learned that going to college can be a fun and exciting time, especially if I am committed to being successful. Of all my classes this semester, English 111 (also known as Writing and Inquiries, if you prefer) will be particularly important. So what exactly do I need to do in order to be successful in this class? This is a popular…

camp started, I was planning a curriculum for each grade level and I used some of the materials that I put together in my Intro to curriculum design class. It was such an indescribable feeling for me that I use elements that learned in class and can be apply into a real life practice. Moreover, designing a curriculum in the class last semester was a first experience so that I tried my best to complete it and that is why the final piece meant something special. When I finished designing a…

wondered how I would do if I was going to be in that class next year; however, this new College Preparatory class, with its new teacher and completely different lessons, was more unexpected than I had imagined, but I learned more about college life than I thought I would. Something that I never expected on the first day of school, was the young teacher, who is really honest about things, saying that we would start the school year with learning…
