Then one day I decided I would sit and watch how my daughters Pre-School class worked. I figured teaching a Pre-School class would be an easy job but I was wrong. My day started at 7am and I knew right then and there today was going to be a long. As I was getting ready all I could think was how horrible this day would be. I would have to deal with screaming, bratty kids all day and I was not prepared. My daughter on the other hand, was very excited that I would be joining her in school. So my…
happen to high school students. Every person has had their fair share of embarrassing moments. However, I think I might have a moment that tops them all. Nobody’s moment will compare to the one I had during my junior year golf season. I honestly wish I could just forget the experience, but I feel like it is engrained into my brain. It will definitely be a day I will not forget anytime soon. The day started off like any other high schooler’s day. I woke up dreading the school day and all the…
mentor at Carver Elementary, during my 12th grade year in high school I was in a program that allowed me to work as an intern in a 3rd grade classroom at a local elementary school in Virginia Beach.

Middle school is the place where you have either the best or even the worst memories. Some could consist of you getting injured in kickball, you kicking the game-winning home run. I in fact have a lot of memories, one in which that I almost spilled Gatorade all my teacher. Some aren't as interesting, but they're still very funny. People look back at memories and laugh, but I laugh as it happens. My memories are almost spilling Gatorade on my teacher, playing kickball, and field day. First I…
Autobiographical Incident Hello! I’m Elizabeth. I’m 12 years old, and this is my story. When I was in first grade, I had a major worrying issue. It’s pretty embarrassing, but it’s true. I surprisingly didn’t have this problem in kindergarten. But it was terrible in first grade. I begged my parents to homeschool me because I missed my mom so much when I went to school. I got so homesick that sometimes I almost made myself sick worrying so much during the eight hours that we were apart. I had…
included. While at the young age of nine years old at the time, I can still remember that day as though it was yesterday. That day, schools had closed in my county due to snow. I was home, flipping through the television when I came across a news broadcast about the impending launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
