Personal Narrative: My Student Teaching In Middle School
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

    Personal Narrative: Lessons Learned In High School

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Tutoring Field Experience

    The little girl that I tutored was named Helen. She is a Hispanic student in first grade. She is very quiet and I had a hard time getting information from her. But what she did tell me was that she lives with her mother and father and she said she had siblings but I couldn’t get a clear answer from her as to how many. From what she said, I think she has several brothers. She said that her father doesn’t stay with them all the time, so I don’t know if her parents are divorced or if he just goes away to work sometimes. A lot of the Hispanics that I know from home do tend to work in industries that require them to travel a lot. Her parents are from Mexico, her mother speaks fluent English but her father only speaks a little bit of English. She has just as good, if not better English than the rest of the children in her class, so there is no language barrier. She is bilingual so she speaks English and Spanish.…

    Personal Narrative: My Eighth Grade Math Teacher

    A person who made an enormous impact on my life was my eighth grade math teacher. I'd had failed my seventh grade TAKS test and had to take a second math class for the year. I was extremely furious and disappointed that I had to take yet another math. I was and still am terrible at math, which just made the situation even worse. Within the first week, I kept failing my assignments, which was making my grade plummet. I came to my regular math teacher for help for my assignments to raise my grades. However, the way the teacher was explaining the math made absolutely no sense to me in any way. Fortunately, when I came to my TAKS math teacher for tutoring, the way he explained to me actually made things much more simpler in my work. Things started…

    Personal Narrative: My Middle School Experience

    I was the kind of guy who always strove in order to get the highest grades but yet hadn’t decided what to do in the future. I wasn’t worried, I knew someday I would find something in what I was good at. I got to live with that thought for some time until I got to attend middle school, where I stopped worrying about my grades and managed only to pass the subjects. I spent most of my time sleeping due to the frustration of not knowing what to do in the future. Most of my middle school experience was tasteless. I hadn’t friends at all, and teachers used to discourage their students about their future. “You're not going to college, you’ll not be able to do it because you’re poor” used to say, Mrs. Vazquez, the math teacher who instead of giving her class, talked on how much his son had accomplished in college and how we would not be able to attend. That was about to change.…

    In first grade, it was my first year in public school so I didn’t have as much friends as the the people that were in kindergarten last year. When I walked into the room, both of my parents on each of my side they introduced to my teacher then I sat in the empty seat. The person assigned to sit next was a girl named Chloe. At first sight, I mesmerized by the amount of silly bands she had. At that moment I knew I had to be her friend.…

    Personal Narrative: Transitioning From Elementary School To Middle School

    Everyone strives to be accepted and loved. Acceptance is wanted at any age. From my high school friends to my elders who work a nine to five job, some still crave to be accepted by their peers. The world we live in is full of expectations that people are suppose to live up to. These expectations can bully people into changing themselves. I too changed myself to be accepted by my peers. In end I learned a valuable lesson. Changing yourself for others, so they will accept you, only leaves yourself unhappy and miserable. It is better to stay true to yourself and be loved by your closest peers because those people are the only ones that truly matter in your life.…

    Personal Narrative: My Middle School Life

    My middle school life was very slow but at the same time it went by very fast. There are several factors that contributed to this. For one, middle school was not the best and it wasn’t my favorite, although my experiences were very beneficial. I lived in the same house I do today, about 7 miles out of town and away from everyone. Which meant I didn’t really get out much and I didn’t talk to very any people. It also didn’t help that I was very shy and awkward; it really sucked. Most of the beginning of my middle school career I was viewed as a very weird and awkward kid and I didn’t have very many friends, but that all changed halfway through 7th grade when I decided to join the football team. I was very indecisive on this and I think if my…

    Personal Narrative: My Life In Public Schools

    Imagine coming home after a long day of school and mere seconds after dropping your backpack at the door, you are greeted by your mother handing you a duffel bag. You ask her what it’s for only to be told to pack as much as you can in it because you’re leaving with her to go to Michigan. It’s the middle of the week, you have a test tomorrow in your history class, but what else can you do but do exactly as you’re told. My mom had been sick for 2 years with chronic sinus issues that made it hard for her to breathe. She couldn’t sleep for long periods of time, often had to wear a mask while cleaning, and used a nebulizer inhaler at least twelve times a day. The only surgeon who had any idea what to do was in Michigan, so we were forced to uproot our lives in…

    I remember a time where I did violate my own morals, and I abhor it to this day. Back in elementary school I was guileless. Every Tuesday and Thursday my friend Bob and I had art class, and we played with the art supplies there. One day I was pressured to do something that I was not comfortable with doing, and later I atoned for it.…
