Tevis Personal Narrative
Hello, I am Presley Ann Gaeta and I went to Sierra Montessori for preschool and I attended Stockdale Elementary K-6. But in 1st grade I went to Princeton Elementary in Delano where my mother worked as the vice principal. I heard that jr. high was going to be very hard and terrible and I also heard that you had more periods and that really scared me.I was concerned about being able to see my friends.My first impression of Tevis was that it was very nice and pretty. It was different because I had a lot of different teachers and I didn’t have a recess. It was different from what I expected because I thought that it was going to be very hard, but it really wasn’t.

My most difficult class was in 7th grade. It was my english and reading class 7th and 8th period. Her name was Mrs. Lumpkin. There were many times where she just found a way to get mad at me and i thought that she might just be doing it for fun. One e I was chewing gum, which I know is against the rules, and she saw me. She told me to spit it out and I went to do it, so I looked towards the trash can and she thought I was rolling my eyes. So Mrs. Lumpkin decides to yell at me in front of the entire class and told me that I was full of myself. And another time I said a line in a book very enthusiastically and she said that I wanted all of the attention and that I needed to stop. But then, another girl screamed out a line the same book, on the same day, and she laughed. I meet the challenge by just listening to her and not saying anything when she got mad at me for no reason.

I like her class because it is full of my friends and Mrs.Viveros always is helping me when I need it and she is very funny.I looked forward to that class because it was my favorite. Also the people in her class are very

    In this article Jerika Miller, age 17, is interviewed regarding her experience at William Smith High School, and how she believes that other high schools can be turned around like William Smith from failing high schools to successful ones. Having moved around and changed schools often, Jerika found William Smith to be a good school, and settled there for 3 years. She says that the reason she liked William Smith better that the other schools, was because it was more personal. The students are not just ID numbers, but individuals with names. Everyone knew everyone and wanted to know what was going on in each others’ lives. This school also put an emphasis on community.…

    If I were to be accepted into Thomas Dale’s prodigious Program of the Performing Arts, I would be delighted, not only because I would be able to express my passion for the violin but I could also mingle with the numerous amount of others who possess similar interests as mine. It is also one of my objectives to become a professional musician further along in my career path, Thomas Dale would be one step closer to achieving such an arduous path for a profession. Another reason that seems minor, but is actually significant for my choice of striving for the Arts, is making my wonderful teacher and conductor proud. If I joined the specialty center I would be an asset to the school program because I display a strong fervor for the beautiful music…

    At the beginning of the year it felt like I would have never been able to write any paper that was more than two pages long, it just seemed impossible, but for the research paper I actually had to stop myself from going off and writing a twelve page paper. I will admit and say that English is not my strong suit, in fact it is probably one of my more difficult classes. But just because it is difficult does not mean I don’t like it. I like looking for topics that interest me and still fit in with the guidelines, I like getting involved in the paper and researching the topic until it feels like my head is about to explode. I never saw any of that coming, I thought that I was going to have to go through English and just pray…

    Last year, I has Mrs. Sulzbach for English 9 Honors and my favorite thing about her class was probably the people who were in it. Most of the people in my class were very animated and talkative, so they made class discussions fun. Most of the time I find class discussions to be boring and after talking for a while, the conversation normally dies down or people are just repeating the same ideas in different wording, but that never really happened in Mrs. Sulzbach's class. Socratic Seminars were especially fun because the conversation never stopped and a lot of interesting viewpoints were brought up, even if we sometimes strayed onto the weirdest tangents.…

    In grade 6 I went to a great school called David Leeder Middle School. Even though none of my friends from grade 5 were in my class, I had an amazing year. All of my teachers were fabulous except for one. My math and science teacher was the worst teacher I had ever had. I remember that she would always yell at us for asking her questions about our work. In grade 7, I was also in David Leeder, but this was the best year I had ever had in my life. Every single teacher of mine were very good and they taught everything very thoroughly. Also, I made a lot of friends during this year. Academically I had the best year and I took part in extra curriculars such as soccer and volleyball. During these two years I went to Pakistan, I went to New York…

    I went to Ansbach Middle-High School. The school was shaped like a rectangle, also all the housing around us were just really tall rectangles, and the military base itself was just a rectangle. Looking back, the environment around me was very depressing and boring. There was a max of 300 hundred students at my school and that was spread through grades 7th-12th. There was no majority ethnicity in the school, instead there was a multitude of races that attended every year. I attended the school through 7th-11th grade. Even though I went to school for 5 years I didn't have an impact until my last year there. 11th grade was the turning point for me. I got involved with a program at my school called the Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC). I joined this program at 9th grade and treated it as another class till my junior…

    Coming into her class, I never possessed a great amount of patience. One of the things that really frustrated me was when students constantly blurt random stuff out. This seemed to be some of the boys’ aptitudes in that class, because it seemed they never could hush up and listen. I don’t know if they just did not think and immediately said what came to mind or what, but I soon became aggravated.…

    Throughout my life, I have moved three times, lived in two different states, and been to five different schools. From these experiences, I have had the opportunity to meet a variety of different people, for this I am very grateful. I consider my first memories to have started when my family and I moved to Overland Park Kansas. The excitement of living in a new neighborhood, and house, was almost unbearable for my younger self. Once we moved in, I had a chance to explore the new surroundings and meet some of my best childhood friends. I also enjoyed six wonderful years in Elementary school. However, once middle school started, I observed the adoption of a more competitive atmosphere and the abandonment of standard teaching methods. This shift…

    It’s a bler, trying to look back on when I was a preschooler, so first grade was a mess. First grade is a life changer. Going to Tri-Point in Piper City not even for a full year. Tri-Point is a small old school just like ROWVA. I remember changing schools because my parents got a divorce. We moved to Peoria and lived there with my mom's parents. I got transferred to a Catholic school. Every Wednesday the whole place went to church right across the street. It was the worst thing ever sitting in the old creepy church listening the Father talk about only “God” knows what. My teacher's name was Mrs. Heartstick, no I did not make the name up. She grossed me out. He hands very dry and cracked, they looked like an old man's hands who had worked his whole…

    Within the month of February while my teacher was away on maternity leave, my French class was given a new substitute teacher that would replace my original teacher till she returned. The teacher we were given for the time being seemed inexperience. The class that I was once eager to attend became a part of my day that I dreaded. Every single day I sat in class doing nothing and listened to her constantly yell at the students that chose to misbehave. Things began to become routine, students would sit in class doing nothing as she yelled at the students who purposely disrupt the class.…

    Even though, I didn't know where any of my classrooms were. Lets fast-forward a bit. I did not do well in 3 of my classes. I later failed them. The next semester there was this program for students that failed a course or courses last semester. I was in that program and it was called "study skills" even though we didn't do any studying. There were 2 parts to this class. We either work to get our credits back or we be in the classroom and learn things we don't need to know. By the way there were other students there instead of just me. The students (including me) were all annoyed with the class and very disliked it. We were in the class room more than we were getting our credits back, but even when we were everyone still hated it. We were just being pushed around do this, do that, its sad. Due to us not doing much work we all had to do summer school. I have been regretting ever since then and I want to drop out of school. I'm not going to but i feel the need to. Lesson learned to always do your work even though you have to listen to people that don't deserve to have the type of power they…
