Reflection Paper On Shadow

1343 Words6 Pages

For the process of choosing what student to shadow for this project, I talked to my Coordinating Teacher (CT) about my possible choices. I explained to him that I was looking for a student who needed more adult interaction in the school setting, and not necessarily a student who got into a lot of trouble or had a rough home life. He came up with a few options, and together we agreed on a student from his second hour U.S. History class. The student was a thirteen year old girl with whom I was very familiar, as she struggles a bit in the class and often asks for extra help on assignments because she has a hard time understanding them. She also faces issues of responsibility at home, as she is expected to look after and take care of her younger siblings while her older brother isn 't, and her parents have justified this by saying women are caretakers and men generally are not. While she doesn 't talk about it extensively, this student will openly discuss her problems at home with me and a few of her other teachers. Seeing how she acts around adults leads me to believe that she doesn 't get the attention she needs at home, and so she looks for it at school instead. When shadowing my student, one common facet about her personality that I could track through both classrooms was her act of putting a wall up. She would generally box herself into where she sat by putting one arm up and resting her head on it, using her hair like a curtain to block her face off from her peers.

    Before reading “Nickel and Dimed: On (NOT) Getting by in America”, my perception of blue collar Americans is much different. I had figured that blue collared workers in lower paying jobs were not very hard working people, and that they still made enough money to have decent living conditions. Before reading Nickel and Dimed I thought that if you had a job and were not making enough to get by that you were probably a lazy person. Reading Nickel and Dimed really opened my eyes to the quality of life workers in these jobs have made me realize that you can be employed at a Walmart or as a hotel maid like Barbara Ehrenreich was and still be living in poverty. I learned pretty early into Nickel and Dimed that only having one job at this level of jobs
