Thomas Friedman My Favorite Teacher Analysis
I have chosen “Hero's/Role Models” as my theme. I had always admired people who brought value into this world. They play a great role in my life as they helped shape my individuality and perceptions. I wouldn’t be the person that I am if I didn’t have someone to look up to. Reflecting on these individuals whom I call role models, I feel this theme is befitting to my experience. I have chosen to read and write about “My Favorite Teacher” by Thomas L. Friedman. Teachers are on top of the list when it comes to my biggest influencers. They are the ones I spent most of my childhood with and whom I learned the most from. Friedman’s essay is relatable in his writing of a teacher's impact on his life.

    Rikki-Ripson Theme Essay

    Like any story, my theme connects to real life. This theme is connected by showing that people who are selfless, content, and courageous are good people that are rewarded for their actions with a prize or just a feeling of doing what is right. In order to advance in life, you have to be a good person. When people are greedy, evil, and cruel, they are punished for their wrong doings. The people who are evil receive consequences for their actions. In life, you don’t have to go out of your way to be good, but the people who go out of their way to be evil don't get anywhere, as shown in this…

I have test anxiety, have has it since I was a young child, and she could get me through without having a panic attack or having to go to the ladies room to puck.

She always assisted me when I needed it or if I did not grasp something, she would make…

    How To Improve My Writing

    Over the course of my years of schooling I have had many teachers. I’ve had some of the best such as my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Moore, who taught me how to learn math, my eighth grade science teacher, Mrs. Turner, who taught me to have fun in school, but still be serious, my tenth grade chemistry teacher, Mrs. Huggins, who made class hard also made it enjoyable at the same time. The best teacher I have ever had thought taught me one of the most important things in life, how to write. She may not have been the nicest lady as she gave me my first detention in ten years of school. (To this day it was still my only detention) Her class was the second hardest class I ever had in my four years of high school; the only thing harder was AP psychology,…

    Teacher of Year Essay

    First I want to tell you with whom I honor, with whom I have, learned to respect, and who deserve the outmost admirations. The teachers I am talking about work hard to do a great job, because, above all, it is a kind of responsibility so to speak towards their students and relevantly toward themselves. I have had several teachers in my years as a student both in the primary and secondary schools among which there were only few whom I felt to fit the description above, maybe most of them were good in their own way, but one cannot be sufficient in all ways or I may also have misunderstood them. However, the teacher that I chose as deserving of the “My Favorite Teacher” earned this title due to the care she showed to each of her students through her teaching, personality, and the all the fun had in her class is Ms. Fleming my writing teacher. Ms. Fleming is an open minded, caring person who seemed to love what she is doing. Ms. Fleming is more than a teacher to me; she is a person you could go to with a problem and she would try and help you find the answer. She would help you, but expected you to put the work into finding out for yourself how to do something. She always came across as someone who cared about every student as if they were her “children”. Ms. Fleming is like a book that gives you the right information that would help you on getting a six on the FCAT writing. About 95% of her student’s agree that Ms. Fleming spent each day preparing us for the FCAT writing in thirteen days. The first time I walked into the classroom I notice a flaming red headed teacher sitting down. I thought that she would be a boring, and mean teacher giving her student’s a lot of homework and essays to write. Every word that comes out of her mouth sounds like music to my brain. When it comes to teaching she doesn’t let out a lot of stress, most of the stress comes from whether or not her student’s would receive a four or higher on the FCAT writing. When I’m in class Ms. Fleming have…

    My Personal Education: My Philosophy Of Education

    My educational philosophy is developed from my own studies, my experiences in the classroom, as well as teachers who taught me that stand out in my memory. All the teachers who have influenced my life in one way or another possess similar traits. Regardless of the subject, they delivered it in a form that quickly caught my attention. They made even the most complex topics seem extremely easy as they lead me through them. Knowledge was almost always concrete, as they made it relevant to our lives through our experiences. They have instilled in me a love for learning. These teachers are the teachers I admire. They have, in one way or another, contributed to my philosophy of education: I am a facilitator, not a specialist whose job is merely to transfer knowledge to learners.…
