I found it very difficult to not implement the writing techniques and strategies that were taught to me in elementary school into high school papers because of how programmed I was to follow them. During my early years of high school, I was often given templates and various examples of what my writing was supposed to look like. I was basically expected and follow…

in class, and even raising your hand when you had a question would show that it would come in handy for the future. Surely when we were kids, did we each think it was bologna. It has shaped our future and ourselves as an individual. Elementary school had to be my favorite due to the fact that there were no worries in the world. Being this young, you start to develop friendships and learn to get along with others. And let’s not forget to mention seeing other boys for the first time…

it’s still something. I came to the US at around the age of 8. I started of in 3rd grade. I had a bad start, not knowing any English made it difficult to communicate with others and make friends. With a lot of help from the great teachers at my elementary school and also a lot of tutoring I…

There was not one thing individually that changed me. There were many different things some changed me in a negative way some in a positive way. When I wasn’t matured yet I didn’t really know who I was not like I didn’t know my name but I didn’t know who I wanted to be. Some people kind of pressured into doing bad things in class, not like drugs or anything else like that but being disruptive but all that did was turn my As to Bs. Writing also changed a part of me. It changed something that I…

I did my math practicum in a sixth grade classroom over at Emerson Elementary. I had been doing some service learning hours at the beginning of the semester and observed quite a few math lessons. I then worked with a few students but focused specifically on just one for this practicum. He was a student that Mr. Craner said did well in math at times but has a hard time understand why. During my initial interview before I would teach the lessons, I had asked him if he could remember what they…

The number eleven is a significant number to me as a professional. No, it is not the number of years I have served as an educator, or the number of schools that I have worked in, but rather the number of lives and families I saw totally destroyed by the abuse of prescription drugs. Remember, the community in which our school is located has a population s 1,500 people. The significance in the number eleven is the total number of fatal drug over-doses our school district and community dealt with…

had been at. I wanted to change the fact that I had never had an easy time making friends or having a place I felt comfortable and fit into. So the year going into to 7th grade I decided to leave and start again with a clean slate. Throughout elementary school I had few people I called friends. I had always been a bit of an outcast, but it never bothered me until I looked back and…

Lunch I was not the most socially adjusted 7th grader. Who was? Thirteen was a difficult time in anyone's life. The majority of adolescents were in the throes of puberty, in that awkward stage where you don't know what to wear, do, or say. I had it worse than most. I was a private school kid, having spent my entire educational existence until 6th grade going to the local Lutheran school. As one of only two girls in a class of five, and the only girl staying in Perham, my social skills were…
