Why I Want to Be a Teacher

where I made it a point to excel inaccessibility, communication, and knowledge. When I was a junior, for example, I took a Shakespeare course taught by Dr. Matthew Hansen and participated in a service-learning project called “Shake It Up After School.” A program designed to help undergraduates and elementary school students explore the artistic, historic, and cultural importance of Shakespeare by reading, discussing, rehearsing, and performing one of his plays. When I began the program, I had…

and most vivid memories of school is from first grade. I had a teacher named Mr. S and he gave us a very important responsibility, which was to bring a red folder with all our classwork and homework to and from school everyday. Like any first grader I was careless so it was up to my mom to remind me to place my red folder into my backpack every morning. But one day I did not bring my red folder to school. When Mr. S asked me where it was, I gave him a sob story how it wasn’t my fault it was my…

Eric Russell: High school english teacher, Advanced Placement Coordinator, yearbook advisor, husband, father of three, and my Helene Tucker. Dick Gregory once wrote, “Everyone’s got a Helene Tucker, a symbol of everything you want” (pg. 168). Symbol, by definition, means a mark or character used as a conventional representation of another.

people may say it’s distracting, but why would music be considered motivating? Why would it be considered distracting? I honestly and personally think it could be both. Listening to music in class can either affect you in a good or bad way. A couple good ways it affects you is by decreasing stress or anxiety. It states on psychcentral.com that music is connected to our emotions so it is an extremely effective way for managing stress. In my own experiences, I do believe that stress can reduced by…

still is, someone I only saw once a day for forty-five minutes, my favorite class period of the day that I always looked forward to since for as long as I could remember. My choir teacher, Mrs. Arnold, made it the most life changing for me. Although I only had Mrs. Arnold for several years and for a short time period in the day she was able to show me the beauty of music, not only that but life lessons, for instance, not being afraid to be myself and how to be a great leader. I always wanted to…

whether I want to slave away in a boarding school, in Iceland, or if I want to keep going to private school, where I never have to do anything. Besides sit, listen, and take the one and only rest we ever have to take, at the end of each school year. This test is about fifteen questions and it's really quite simple. The private school I go to, is called Queen Elizabeth High School, hence why I am getting asked if I want to live like a queen. I bit my tongue, I looked in my parents eyes, and I…

It’s Not Inclusive I never did understand anything after my careers class or got what was considered needed from Adult Roles and Responsibilities class. My patience was continuously being tested throughout both of those classes. Why couldn’t someone, who was given the task to teach me in a classroom, teach in a way that was understood by the majority, and also manage teaching that classroom? I don’t believe all my teachers really began class every day hoping that they would help their…
