Personal Narrative-Accommodation To The Classroom
Dr. Judge,

I feel awful that I am missing class on the very first night that we meet and I sincerely apologize for not making it tonight. I arrived at the classroom at 5 and settled in and stayed until 5:15 and then I had a panic attack and had to excuse myself. The reason I sent you that disability accommodation form yesterday because I was extremely nervous for class and it is by no means easy for me. For some reason I get very bad anxiety when it comes to school and it is very, very uncomfortable for me to be in a classroom setting. This is something I have been dealing with and working through all through out my college career. I have really been working to fight through it but for some reason the first day is always tough for me. For instance, once I sat down in class I saw the 3 questions on the board and my mind starting going crazy thinking about speaking in class.

I have been extremely grateful and lucky that many of my professors have been very understanding and have been willing to work with me to ensure I succeed in the classroom. Im not asking for any special treatment by any means, however it would mean a lot to me if I could set up a meeting with you. This always helps me get broken into a new class and takes away a lot of my nerves. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable in the classroom after I first form a relationship with my teacher and form a plan that will allow me to perform at my highest level in class. Once again, I am extremely sorry for missing class tonight and I hope we can meet soon. Please let me know when you are available for me to come meet

    My personal learning style is doing. I learn best from the hands on approach of getting in to a topic or job and attempting to complete it on my own. This allows me to see my mistakes and not have them be prevented before they happen, which allows me to note the problem and fix it. I find it much harder to learn using concrete experience and reflective observation. The fact that both these styles are much harder for me to learn from effects my overall learning style because of how I learn, just watching someone else complete a task is not enough for me to learn by.…

    I learned a lesson all the way back in first grade, and that lesson has stuck with me ever since. I was coming in from recess, and I was talking to a friend of mine off to my left. Unfortunately, I was not watching where I was going. I kept barely taking glances of what was in front of me, and that was a huge mistake. Someone was running behind me, and wasn’t watching where they were going either. As I approached the building I heard yelling, but thought nothing of it. After all, recess had just finished, so obviously kids would be yelling, right? It turns out some kids had been playing tag, and decided to play until they got inside. One that was still running away, because God forbid he’d be “it,” was Nick.…

    The student that interested me the most was a student named Justin I believe. He was tiny and wore a big blue shirt I think. He interested me the most because he seemed kind of quiet and shy and I would really like to get to know him better and get him to open up and talking to other individuals.…

With this behavior, I could not have much information about what is going around on campus and the available platforms to learn and explore more.…

    On Thursday, September 15 at Cohasset Elementary school in Van Nuys, I worked at my practicum site for the first time in a Head Start class of three and four year olds. My goal for this first class was to become familiar with the children and the classroom routine. One of the first things I noticed was that all the children and the teachers are Hispanic and speak Spanish, although the class is mostly taught in English. I experienced a diversity issue between myself and the staff and children in the classroom. The main barrier I faced was the language. Some of the children spoke only English in class, others spoke a mixture of English and Spanish, and some spoke only in Spanish. Speaking some Spanish helped me, but the children spoke so softly…

    Before this year I was always dead set on being a high school history teacher and thought that I never wanted to teach anything else. During the fall semester I was placed in a sixth grade class for my observation hours and at first I was kind of upset about it. Once I experience a middle school classroom I was still on the fence about what grades I wanted to teach, but I figured I would take this course anyway. I am so happy I did because I decided I want to do my student teaching in middle school. I have realized this is such a unique time in children’s lives and I want more of the molding aspect rather than solely teaching like at the high school level. I want to not only educate students in history, but also have it relate to their every…

    Growing up I spent most of my childhood in Vietnam living an ordinary life. My parents were not risk-takers until they decided to quit their career as educators and move to the United States. Knowing that life in America will be challenging for immigrants, we mentally prepared ourselves to be fearless and get through every obstacle that is in our way. No matter how prepare we were, being a newcomer was frightful. When I first step foot on the land of promise, there was a mixed emotion suddenly rushed through me as a signal telling me life here will not be easy. We faced will endless obstacles and the language barrier is the most, the biggest challenge for us. Personally, I think learning a new language is difficult and requires a lot of hard…
