...When talking about our own teachers and mentors, anyone would be glad to thank them, especially those who are successful and those who learned a great lesson from them. But, are teachers really that great? Aren’t they just a bunch of people teaching everyday? The people who are always giving a lot of homeworks and projects, making our life hard? Teachers are great. They teach us in all ways they could. They guide us through different challenges. They act as light when we’re on darkness. They’re affection strengthens students. They’re patience are unbelievable. For even though, we, students are acting childishly, they forgive us. They’re like a second mom to us. And especially, they love us like a true mother. Once, when I was still young, I had a very kind and loving teacher. And for me, she was the reason why I am here in my spot today. She was the building block of my knowledge. She’s my teacher on kindergarten. She’s strict, yes, but still very affectionate. She was the one who discovered I’m myopic. After discovering this, she told it to my mom and I was able to see the world clearly. She was also the one who always guides me through everything. She taught me how to read, write, count, and how to be strong in every circumstance I face. She taught me how to meet friends. I learned many lessons from her. She always taps my head whenever I learned something new. And in that small gesture, I know how much her affection is for me. She’s a person whom I can ask help from...

... mistake, and rollercoaster you’ve been on is what makes you who you are. Why? It’s because you made it this way. Your entire life is dictated on how you want to live it, how you’re influenced, and why you feel the way you do. You are self-taught how to be your own personal teacher. Some may think it’s selfish to say I am my own best teacher, but really is it? I don’t think so, and I’ll tell you why. My entire life, I have mostly had to fend for myself. I grew up poor, sometimes homeless, and even moreso clueless in what I needed to do. I was a kid growing up in a grown up world. I had responsibilities at the age of 10 that some people don’t even have at the age of 30. I had people who were depending on me to be so much more than just a child. At the age of 13, I had a job. I worked to help provide rent and food. I didn’t want to work, but I needed to. Life taught me at a very young age that there are things we want to do, and there are things we need to do. It’s never a good idea to mix the two ideals. On a professional level, I found out at a young age what it mean’t to be a hard-worker. I taught myself how to work, deal with others, and even tolerate doing things I didn’t want to do, but still set my mind to do it anyways. 9 Facts in this world: 1. You cannot put soap in your eyes. 2. You cannot count your hair. 3. You cannot breathe thru your nose, with your tounge out. 4. You did no. 3. 6.

...Anthony Gonzales ENGL 118 12/11/13 My First Teacher There are many opportunities in everyone's life, the opportunities of success are different to everyone, but are similar the chance of success is only for those who are prepared. There is a calm wisdom in this old saying that impressed me when I heard it first from a person as I know. You may never know that you are my first teacher since I came to work in society and you may neither understand what an important role you played in my career life, Miss Li. Miss Li, she was my first grade Chinese class's teacher, and I remember her is a slim, pretty and tall young woman. Miss Li is just a very easy person to get to know, and she is very competent and industrious. That is why she has had many friends. Specially, her profound knowledge about natural science and life experience is always an interesting story to tell. That is the lesson I take from all of this, and no matter how negative a situation is, I can find the good one get into it. When I was in third grade, before the final exam, I always planned to do many things in my vacation, but I have never finished either of plans. When the last month for the final exam, but I still hang out with my friends on the football field. Seeing that the final exam is approaching, Miss Li was looking at the eyes, anxious heart. One day, Miss Li asks us "Hi kids, are your ready for the examination?" "Yes, of course!" we answer that so quickly because just order to...

...My Favorite Teacher by Thomas L. Friedman Friedman’s essay was solely talking about his favorite teacher, which was Hattie. Even though Hattie seemed to be an old stickler, the children at St. Louis Park High School really loved going to Room 313; sometimes they would even go out there and just hangout. He gives Hattie the credit for teaching much of what he knows and how he writes. This reminded me a lot like my English teacher in high school. Devery Feickert was one of my favorite teachers for the longest time. He taught Creative Writing to a handful of children from the 12th grade, myself being one of them. This class taught me how to write in a different way than I did before. My greatest lessons that I got from that class would have to be writing of all the five senses; we did a unit on each. Devery made me look at my writing different than I have ever looked at it before. He gave me a sense of satisfaction with every word I wrote. He made me feel content with being so picky during the writing process, even though half the time I didn’t start my paper until the night before, mostly due to the fact that I was still wandering aimlessly trying to find a suitable topic. My first composition I wrote in college I had to bring back to Devery to share my excitement. I felt great when his response was, “That’s fantastic, Allison! Doesn’t surprise me that you could accomplish that because I know you have that ability. Your hard work in high school pays off, and you can write essays...

...A teacher alone has the ability to change a student’s life. Agree or disagree. The school is not a video game which gives immediate gratification, and we can not claim that students fall in love in each subject taught. After all, what a teacher teaches daily are simple tools like speaking a language, solve a math problem or write an essay that are unlikely by themselves to radically change the lives of students. We all, in our school career, remembered a hurtful words of teachers, with comments on our grades records for example or on the opposite hand a teacher who once believed in us, who knew how to restore our confidence. So a teacher has the ability to change a student lives with sometimes a happy end but it can also influenced the student in disastrous consequences. “When the fascination takes over”, some nice student’s life stories can lead. I remember not a long time ago, it was actually last year in 12th grade in France, we had a fascinating history teacher. This went far beyond the quality of its courses. Her manner of speaking, her presence in class, she had a very classy and luxury appearance. All the boys were in love with her, and girls were inspired by her way to get dressed. That year, we all worked very hard history, got very high grades in the History Baccalaureat (final high school exam in France) and many of my classmates enrolled in history major in college, without her telling them directly...

...My Maths teacher changed my life. I started taking Spanish 1A and 1B just because I needed electives for 7th and 8th grade and didn’t think I could suffer through anything else. I took Spanish 2 because I wanted another year with my favorite teacher. See, I’ve never really minded teachers. I always got along with them just fine. At the same time, I never really felt like I could relate to any of them either. They were friendly and they taught just fine. They just never really tried to level with their students. I feel like because of that, my grades weren’t exactly what they could’ve, should’ve, been. I never saw a reason to do the work. If my teacher didn’t care enough about me to ask why things weren’t getting done, then why should I do them? There was no real reason besides a grade. The motivation just wasn’t high enough to make me care. Then, I started taking a class with Mrs. Davis as my teacher. When I didn’t do the work, she asked why. She cared. She wanted to know me more than the other teachers seemed to. She wanted to see more than just another face in a desk everyday. She wanted that with all her students. She still does. So, I explained things to her. She listened. She paid attention. She remembered and always asked for a follow up. She still does. For the first time since I started school, one of my teachers really seemed to see something other than another face and another grade. I was important. I’d never felt like a teacher found me important. So I started doing...

...“My Teacher, My Hero” "No one saves us but we ourselves-no one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path, teachers merely show the way." Gone were the days when we spent our late nights indulging in comic books featuring our generation’s greatest heroes, sneaking past our bedtime to read Superman’s latest issue under the sheets while holding a flashlight, running around the house with our fists in the air and a cape zooming through our backs. Nowadays, all we have our noses stuck on are the not-so-thrilling sagas of Captain Algebra on Planet Geometry, Fantastic Physics and Heinous History, much to our dismay. I never looked forward to closing in on my childhood and waking up to Algebra class in my first year of high school, nor did I find excitement in the then 25-year old Mr. Ongleo who came to class everyday to blab about my least-liked subject ever. He was a new teacher at the Caloocan City Science High School, and being a former disciplinarian in my best friend’s school at St. Mary’s Academy, he daily greeted us with Spartan orders. “Stand straight! Chin up! Hands on the side!” When the door opens to give way for him we had to be in this position already—mouths zipped and bodies stiff as a board. On some accounts he’d add “Be proud of yourself.”, and that would somehow make the corners of our lips slightly curl upward. He’d then check our room’s sanitation, and make remarks concerning it. He hated noise and dirt, and was highly irritated by even tiny pieces of...

...always support me greatly, gives me a birthdate and does many many things just for me, it's my mother. I love her and really admire her for many reasons. Perhaps, the thing makes me admire her the most that she was the first teacher of mine. She has been teaching me everything since I was young until now, and for the future. I remember that the first foreign language I studied from her is Russian. I could speak some simple words in Russian when i was just 5 years old such as "hello", "good bye". At that time, i made a poem about the ant and my mom, of course, was the first person listening to me. Now, she is still a best friend, I think, she is the greatest psychologist that i have known. Sometimes, Sometimes when I was down because of failures in my life, I always went to meet her for asking some advice. As my expect, I always felt better after that. I also admire her for her personality which is a mix of honesty and strong faith in god, cause and effect. " Take us by ourselves into others' position before doing anything" she said. And she is also a predictor. She can get the future in her dreams. She ever told me that she had found out my father before seeing him . Besides, she was sure that I would be a boy before getting pregnant. Oh my god! it's strange. I can not do the same thing. There is a woman who takes an important part in my life and chang my thought and action. I really love my mother. I think I am the happiest person because I have a great mother like that. How do...

...Sarah Whittaker POS 2112 “Lies my teacher told me” This interview opened my eyes up to how history is really written in the United States and shows that it is written by the victors which is why there are so many inaccuracies in our history. The reason Loewen says as to why history textbooks are distorted is because they want to avoid controversy and don’t want to put anything in textbooks that will show the history of the United States in a bad light and want to show the United States as heroes. To make his point, Loewen emphasizes the "dark side" of U.S. history, because that's the part that's missing from our education system. So, for example, we never learned that Woodrow Wilson ran one of the most racist administrations in history and helped to set back progress in race relations that had begun after the Civil War. Helen Keller's socialist leanings and political views are omitted and we only learn that she overcame blindness and deafness. John Brown is portrayed as a wild-eyed nut that ran amok until he was caught and hung, rather than an eloquent and dedicated abolitionist who expressed some of the same views as Lincoln. Loewen's book illustrates the saying that "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Ignorance of our real history also renders us incapable of fully understanding the present and coming to grips with the issues of our time. Reconstruction, which textbooks put the blame on black people for the failure...

...In Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, James Loewen, writer and sociology professor, details the way in which high school curriculums are distorting reality. He focuses heavily on the Pilgrims and the first European settlers of America. He gives copious details about the factual history of Plymouth Rock and compares it to the innocuous fables of the history textbooks. The consolidated, America-can-do-no-wrong revisions of Social Study curriculums give students an incomplete and misinformed historical perspective. To say that the American history textbooks are misrepresentative would be a gross understatement. In an attempt to promote unquestioning nationalism, history books have robbed students of the most valuable aspect of learning about America’s past, the means to not repeat the folly of our progenitors. Loewen presents his thesis with effective elegance: “Whether one deems our present society wondrous or awful or both, history reveals how we arrived at this point. Understanding...

...In the book “Lies My Teacher Told Me” written by James Loewen which as you would infer explores the ideas of lies that teachers a textbooks leave out throughout your education. One of these interesting topics explored is the ideas that Loewen presents in his analysis of the Gettysburg Address which was given in November 1863 by Abraham Lincoln which was only 273 words but is considered one of the most important speeches in American history highlighted the need for human equality by referring back to the Declaration of Independence and referring to this contradiction between this. Loewen creates an analysis of the address with a very high opinion on Lincoln stating right off the bat saying “Abraham Lincoln was one of the great masters of the English Language. Perhaps more than any other president he invoked and manipulated powerful symbols in his speeches to move public opinion” (Loewen 185). He then refers to the idea of textbooks not referring to address well enough referring to the idea of “authorial monotone” he...
