Significant Relationships

In response to Mrs. Stevens' blog,



Almost everyone in the world has had some teacher or adult in their life that has made a great impact on them.  If you don't have someone that has made an impact on you, then you haven't really opened your eyes up to reality, and looked at the bigger picture.

I had a specific teacher during my junior year, who changed my life completely. Carla Dalton, or Mrs. Dalton, is currently an Algebra 1 teacher at Richland High School. She was a PreAP Algebra 2 teacher when I had her last school year.

As I was in her classroom, we gradually became closer as I always received her help and advice. Getting to know Mrs. Dalton and getting a better relationship with her, motivated me to try harder in her classroom and influenced me to want to learn more, ask more questions, and even do better on assignments and tests.  As the year went on, Mrs. Dalton became like a motherly figure to me. Although I still see her every once in a while, it was a difficult time for me to leave her classroom.

As I visualize myself being a teacher in the future, I will most definitely be a role model for my students.  I aim to be one of the best role models/adult figures for my students. I will make sure my students understand the material that I will be teaching.  In order for me to be a really effective teacher, I will make sure that I form some type of bond with my students and be there for them if they need me. I am looking forward to being a teacher, and being a great role model to them.
