as the other kids went outside and played with their friends. But now I realized that Mrs. Brown and Ms. Mallard made those reading circles help me. Mr. Anthony and Ms. Kacey read and wrote with me to help me. My mom made me stay inside by myself and learn so she can help me. She made me come home and practice more so she could help me. All these pushed me to be the best. There is a poem I love written by the mayor of Newark, New Jersey. It goes,” I am beautiful on purpose. I come in many shades…

discouraging me. Even with people disappointing me, I learned how to persevere through all of life’s struggles. In my band program, making all-region band is a massive deal. Every year, people will be in the band hall before and after school getting ready for tryouts. In order to try out, Mr. Cole makes you pass all the scales and excerpts that could be selected for the tryouts. One day during…

While reading though “A Guide for Time Management” presented by the University of Guelph, I realized everything that was stated, I am currently practicing in some shape or form in my life, regardless the site seems extremely helpful and was a great refresher. The two sections I enjoyed the most and had “oh yeah I need to remember that...” moments are 20 Ways for Playing Catch-Up, Managing Distractions, and Procrastination. When reading though “20 Ways for Playing Catch-Up I found number 4…

gift ever. It was the gift of Work. At that time I knew that working was the key to adulthood and every ten year old dream was to be treated as a adult. Well..maybe it was just me but I knew that I always felt older than my age. So when my parent open up a little convenience store inside a bus company,and they gave me the opportunity to work there, I jump right onto the bandwagon and was eager to have my very first job. From age 10 to 13, I was very invested to my family business. My…

have right in front of us. A theme that could help me gain a more “in the now” perspective is self-assurance. People with self-assurance feel confident in their decision making skills, and they know that at the end of the day they have done all that they can do. This would help me because I wouldn’t have to second guess myself on if I’m going to mess up my future, or if I made the right decision regarding my past. Having self-assurance would help me tremendously at living in the moment. Another…

chocolate task helped me to think about all the different people that are a part of the process of creating chocolate for us to eat, and it really made me reconsider the chocolate I buy, now I want to get Fair Trade chocolate rather than normal chocolate, as it ensures that the workers receive a fair pay. The reflection on experiences of injustice we completed with Maddie Kelly was beneficial to us as I learnt about the different ways people find challenges in lives, and made me realise that…

My role as an educator does not require controlling my students, but it does require managing them. Middle school students are going through major developmental changes at this time in their lives, and they need to learn about the power of choice along with taking ownership of their actions to help them deal with these changes. Holding students accountable for their own actions teaches them to have better self-control and helps create a safer learning environment. If the students can control…
