My Favorite Teacher Essay

My Favorite Mistake It seems like everyone has a special talent. At annual school talent shows I would come up empty handed trying to think of what I could perform. It seemed as though I didn’t have any talents that I could perform. I received outstanding grades, I could easily comprehend literature, and I was quick at solving math problems, but I couldn’t perform any of those talents for an audience. I blame myself for my lack of performing talent. I once was an excellent pianist. The…

challenging to comprehend. Looking back on my experience, I can recall how lots of the other kids in my class encountered no difficulty at all. I worked at a slower pace compared to the majority of them, and required more frequent help from my teacher than others. At one point, I felt like the idea of being able to read and write independently seemed impossible. Although I was struggling and would often get down on myself, I never let those obstacles stand in my way of becoming better. As a…

author, now a college, recounts the disappointment and frustration she experienced after months fretting over Ohio state’s Proficiency test, only to fail by half a point in writing, her strongest subject.

three-pointer. Throwing a no-hitter. Hitting a game-winning home run. During my high school athletic career, I was able to distinguish myself at my high school by earning twelve varsity letters. While many student-athletes specialize on one sport today, I played three different sports during the fall, winter and spring: soccer, basketball and baseball. Some people may say that my love of sports started as a ball boy for my father, who by coincidence, coaches three varsity sports. For…

music class, the teacher would hand out all the best instruments to the pretty girls. “Here, Clarisse, you get the triangle!” “Lisa, would you like the slide whistle?” “Jennifer, how about tickling the ivories of this priceless antique harpsichord?” And on and on it went, until it came to me. “Round-headed girl,” said the teacher. “Take these wood-blocks.” Just for the record, wood-blocks are not musical instruments. They are blocks of wood. And you call yourself a music teacher?? We moved not…

perfect omelet as in your favorite restaurant. When you tried making your omelet did you have egg shell in your omelet, or were not able to flip the omelet without keeping it in one piece.

In my family it is almost required that we have a love for reading and learning, this trait definitely didn’t skip over me. As soon as I learned how to read it became enjoyable and it’s what I wanted to do. In elementary school we would all have to take a test that assessed our “reading ability”, and every time my results were that I was at a “high school or above reading level” so from there I read chapter book after chapter book. Here is where one of my favorite teachers comes in, she was my…

because I feel it is when I do my best work. This is because while in class, I attempt to stay fully engaged, but grow distracted somewhat easily by others’ conversations. Socially, I appreciate it when people have a genuine interest in getting to know you and care how you feel. I dislike it when teachers create a feeling that you cannot go to them for help or discourage asking questions. Regardless of the subject, classes like this have been my least favorite. As for my strengths and…
