My Favorite Teacher Essay

Since elementary school, my favorite teachers have always been social science teachers. I have always loved my United States History teachers because they actually cared about whether the students in their classes learned. I also really loved my AP Psychology teacher because it was a class I was really interested in and she taught the material very well. I think my favorite teachers have been teachers that are not only interested in the subject they are teaching, but that care about students education in general.

I looked out of the windows; I see nobody walking around the sidewalk, or kids playing outside or people chit chatting in the neighborhood. And I said to myself, "I 'm already feeling lonely, I wouldn 't get a chance to make…

Before the war, Odysseus feels as if he would never feel a sense of heartache, however, the war teaches him that everyone is going to hurt at some point. Odysseus feels pain when he sees his mother’s spirit in Hades and realizes that he would never see her again, “‘But look, the ghost of my mother came! My mother, dead and gone now… Anticleia —daughter of that great heart Autolycus — whom I had left alive when I sailed for sacred Troy. I broke into tears to see her here, but filled with pity,…

You know what makes those grade school “get to know you!” games ulcer-inducing? Being the only kid in class without an easy answer. At the beginning of each school year, without fail, our teachers would herd us into sharing circles and we were forced to choose an easy self-identifier to share with the class. In order for you to truly understand how I feel about sharing circles, here is what I imagine hell to be like: Everyone is forced to stand in an eternal, godawful sharing circle and watch,…

Seeing all the “pretty” people on tv, movies, ads, even in real life can be intimidating, convincing us all for the most part that this is just how life is. I hate to admit, but this way of thinking was apparent in my own family. My own mother was so unhappy…

Two of the most defining experiences in my life happened around the same time, sophomore year. My life changed so much just within the course of a few months.

child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street. Often I found myself getting into trouble because I didn 't listen and also the fact that I always found some kind of way to slipping out of having to doing something that I knew I was supposed to do.
