I believe that the qualities of a great teacher include being understanding and willing to listen. When a student struggles to understand a certain topic, the teacher should be able to provide them with several other approaches to the topic in order to reach one of their strongest learning methods. In the past, many of my favorite teachers were student friendly and determined. The teachers never gave anything less than 100% into what they were doing, whether it was assigning a project, helping me understand a topic, or giving out homework. They made sure that every student in the classroom understood exactly what they were saying and answered every question to make sure they were confident in what they were doing as well. Over the course of the year, I would benefit from having extra help available through multiple forms - email, text, or before and after school assistance.
John Green’s opinion on education was on point for me, as I do believe that the soul purpose in receiving an education from school is to give something - anything - back to the world using what you’ve learned from your hours upon hours in the classroom. The purpose of school is to help you help the rest of the world. My academic goals for this year include making the honor role for all courses, and making the National Honors Society with a GPA higher than 3.5. My athletic goals include pursuing my love for basketball in hopes of getting more looks from desired college basketball teams. Artistically, I plan on giving 100% effort into art in order to raise my GPA. In terms of the social aspect of school, making new friends is always an awesome thing. I plan on doing my best to extend my boundaries and meet some new faces around the school in an attempt to make closer friends. In order to reach these goals, I have to reach out to make new friends and have a strong work ethic on and off the court.
