Three more mondays

This year has really opened my eyes to the teaching field and I know my heart is really in this for all the right reasons, I wouldn't have chosen a better way to spend my last year in high school then in front of my first graders. I have a great interest in teaching and find it very exciting every time i walk in to the class.

  Im sad at the fact that its all coming to an end, and my kids will be moving on up, and I probably wont have the chance to see half of them again, but at the same time I'm proud that they've came so far and grownup so much.

On my last day at my school it was very emotionally for my students as well as for me, it saddened me to have to say good-bye to my kids, while I was walking out of music class one of my students grabbed my arm and begged me not to leave, but I know ill see them again soon.

Financial literacy can pay off

Click here to read article from Edutopia.


Do I believe there are subjects that could/or could have been taught better?
Yes I do think so, I think that some of my teachers could have made the lessons more enjoyable and they didn't have to move on so fast, Move at a steady pace for all students.

English has been extremely useful for me because I have learned so much in so little time, and it has made me a better communicator and elaborator as well.

After learning the importance of saving money I am now way better at it, and I know now how to budget money so I won't use it all at once.

Yes I do think I would have been better off awhile ago if we were taught about saving money earlier instead of having to learn on our own.

Rules..

Ron Clark

We are family..
I think he placed so much stress on that rule because once you start acting like a family things in the classroom will run smoothly and everyone will soon learn how to be respectful.

My rules in the classroom would be
1.Be respectful.
2.We are all equal.
3.Think positive.
4.Come with a purpose.
5.Learn something new everyday

I still feel as if I can apply for more scholarship's but I know that a lot of the deadlines are quickly approaching

I have applied for FSFA with my mom a few months ago.

You are hire


when it comes to having an interview my strengths and weaknesses defiantly show.
But no matter what I always show up early and dress professional because I know the first impression can either make or break you.

One of my weaknesses is that i fidget with my hands when I become nervous, and I sometimes lose eye contact.
My strength are that I always answer the question to the best of my knowledge and I have a warm smile always, and I ask question when I don't understand.

Away for me to over come my weaknesses is to just relax more, and don't let my nerves get to me, and still maintain my strengths.


This summer i've had two interviews and I feel as if I met the expectations but I still know that my weaknesses showed but i hid it with a warm smile.

Make it happen 2012

Change to a new semester 


1. I want to get better grades for the remainder of this year, I'm going to make it happen by not procrastinating and by studying way more.

2. I want to spend more quality time with my family so I know that I need to spend less time with my friends and more time with my family, so I shouldn't go out every weekend with my friends but stay at home and chill with family.

3. More determination and self confidence and not let other peoples thoughts and words bring me down.

The deal classroom...

I think the ideal classroom for my students is a atmosphere where they find themselves the most comfortable in their surroundings and they won't get distracted by other students.

I would want them to feel extremely welcome when they walk into my classroom. But I also want them to feel like they are being successful. It should also be a quiet learning space so each kid can learn and do what needs to be done at the particular area.
