First Day of Class Essay

Thoughts on First Year Seminar When I first decided to take this course I did not have high expectations for it. I thought it would be an easy class to take and all we would talk about is the problems African-Americans face in modern America, I was wrong. The exercise on the first day was actually eye opening. Basing a person’s race on their name and picture may seem easy but, it can actually show how little you know about race and ethnicity. Growing up, I had many interactions with individuals…

beginning when I first started to write papers for school, I was not very good. My teachers never placed a strong emphasis on writing and English as a top priority to teach, so when I had to write my first book report in third grade, I clearly was not prepared for the task. Since I did not know where to start, I asked my father to assist me. First, he taught me the basics such as a topic sentence, introduction, conclusion, body, and etc. Then, he took out the newspaper…

I am very glad that I took the student development class here at Tidewater Community College. The student development class is a tool for students who are new to the college experience. It is a good thing that this class is mandatory, because otherwise I would not have taken it. There were many lessons that I have learned throughout the duration of this class. There are also many things from this class that you could apply to your every-day life. The lesson with the most impact on me was time…

as much as possible in each of the courses taken this semester. And this class will not be the exception. The usual took place the first day which was go over the syllabus and the typical introduce yourself and what you aspire to the rest of the class. With that being said, I realized that I could relate to most if not all that we all at one point in our lives played or still do play sports. What I really loved that first day however was the fact that I don’t need to buy or rent the book. That…

teachers were going to be like? I wondered how the homework and tests would be like? I wondered how difficult would it be to get straight A’s in all of my classes? But the things I wondered about was better than how I expect my first year of high school to be like. I thought my first year of high school would be quite the struggle but it was quite easy for the most part. I was able to do most of my work on time and turned them in on the due date, and I did fairly well on the tests. There was…

demonstrated the Hispanic culture. It had small little piñatas across the room. The teacher always had posters that caught the attention of students as well as other people. My other classes had objects that demonstrated what the class was about as well. When we were in class we had to raise our hand to ask for permission when we wanted to use the restroom, the classrooms always had a big paper on the wall that had all the rules in big bold letters. The classroom always reminding us what the…

As a teacher your first contact with parents and guardians will set the stage for communication the rest of the school year. It is important to connect with parents and to build a positive relationship with them in the beginning of the school year.

If the parent doesn’t feel safe prior to me making a…

Later another girl walk in and sat beside of me, she had red hair, green eyes and looked just as nervous as me, her name read on the pencil box “Tara Smith”. The first day we didn’t open up to each other, but the next day we started to talk to one another and we were amediate friends. Through the rest of…

The class was very boring and ordinary compared to the other classes in my middle school. My teacher, Mr. Febris, was the one who taught the science class for 5th period, but boy was I always the first one out the door when the bell rang. There were times when I would tap my pencil continuously like Britney Spears did in her “Hit Me Baby One More Time” music video. Students used to love when the teacher would call off for the day and we would get a substitute teacher, then it became a free day…
