In a time of my life where I could benefit from redirection, motivation and support, I was given a mentor who served as a positive role model. My mentor helped me to see the importance of my future, and motivated me to push myself to make better choices and prepare for the future. I have seen major success because of my connection to positive role model and I would like to impart those same supports to the younger generations.
Now i don't want you to think it is not acceptable to be verbal and socialize because that's totally not the case. In fact that is another way to possibly be most effective as a learner.

    it was because of this fire i had to be better that I reached out to teachers and mentors I felt I had in my corner wanting my success. The teacher that I had sought out most often was Ms. Scattergood, an English teacher whom I had never actually had, except for during the two-week transition program Sidwell offered to all new ninth graders. Ms. Scattergood helped me with my subpar organization skills and  my lack of self-advocation in order to be able to get assignments turned in by their deadlines and schedule time to meet with teachers. After trying to change my study habits and staying more attentive in class, i learned which tendencies i needed to learn to get ahead and which ones i needed to leave behind. It 's these tendencies which i believe will let me enter college with the upper hand relative to my peers, because while others may have been successful in their schools, they may not have had to garner the skills to achieve said success at a higher level with less support, as i had to.

Rather, I chose to give up on math and settle with a grade barely passing.

    Vivek Wadhwa once said, “What you want in a mentor is someone who truly cares for you and who will look after your interests and not just their own. When you do come across the right person to mentor you, start by showing them the time they spend with you is worthwhile.” All people throughout their lives have some sort of an influence, whether it’s a positive or a negative one. While some people are cursed with mentors that teach them nothing but lousy things, others are lucky enough to say that they truly had a good influence from the start. In The Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer and Bossypants by Tina Fey, both J.R. and Tina describe their upbringings and how different people from various parts of their lives had huge effects on the successful people they are today.

    When students see something that they are interested in, and that is relevant to their life in the classroom, they will be more engaged and pay closer attention because it is something that pertains to their life outside of school. I will incorporate the students' cultures into my classroom, and make sure that each student feels recognized for who they are, and I will tailor my lessons to each student's individual needs to ensure the highest level of understanding and education. If I have gifted students in my classroom I will make sure that I have work that I can provide to them that expands on the lesson we are learning about, and if I have students that need a little bit of extra help, I will work with them individually or in small groups to ensure they understand the material before moving on. I will use formative and summative assessments in my classroom to test my students' knowledge of a subject and see if I taught the material in a way that worked for them. I will give different forms of assessment, such as self-assessments, projects, written tests, asking questions out loud, and more, and I will see what works best for my students and implement that method in my classroom more often.

    Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
