I have had really good English experiences throughout high school. I am not saying English was my favorite class or the one subject I was best at, it was just the class I had the best overall experiences with it. This was all thanks to my past teachers. My freshman year English teacher’s name was Mr. Accardi and he was the man. He was a cub fan who watched the Simpsons, and played guitar before class started. How awesome is that? I had a teacher that had the same interests as a 14-year-old kid. The next year I ventured off to boarding school where I met my favorite teacher I’ve ever had. His name was Mr. Verde. MR. Verde was a 30 or so year old Texan who wore the custom boots and crazy shirts to class. He always had us do strange writing assignments and changed my whole outlook on how to read a book. I think I read more that school year than I ever had before. It was different because the classes made me want to read as well as do well. I even ended up writing my college essay on my experiences in that class. Then junior year I came back to my public school where I had a class of over a hundred people and two teachers. It was chaos and they couldn’t control the class. We wrote papers and put on strange plays where we re-enacted American Idol and I had the privilege of playing Ryan Seacrest. Not the highlight of my English career. It was an experimental class that I do not believe was continued the next year. Finally my senior year was the best. My teacher was a first year teacher, which meant she was less than 5 years older than the class of seniors and was just a total push over. We still had work to do it was just we could get away with a lot more than having a 60 year old witch. So up until now my English past has been pleasant and a class I have enjoyed going to. My
My classes were all different. Some had very long research papers and some had simple book reports. English being the most broad class there were plenty of opportunities to be creative which is what I enjoy the best. My junior and senior year had debates too which were fun because I love arguing and pushing my beliefs on to others. I’m also not a big fan of admitting I am wrong which is one of my worse traits. In my writing I usually wait until the last minute because I dread the amount of time it takes to write long papers. I used to never proofread my papers other than spell check and would turn in my first draft, but in recent years that’s changed for the most part and I do read my work before I turn it in. As for technology I do use facebook like everyone else my age, but I am starting to get sick of it when people at parties talk about what there going to name their picture album from that night. I am addicted to iTunes and I text more than the healthy amount but I figure that’s just the age I am and its how I like to occupy my time.

For this assignment I chose to interview my mom about my learning development. I asked her basically the sample questions that we came up with in class. The questions were as follows:
Q1- How often did I red when I was younger and did I like to read?
A- She answered that I read a lot more when I was younger and learning to read but once I got to higher levels of school I only read the books assigned to me in school and rarely read for pleasure other than magazines.
Q2- what subjects was I interested in as a child?
A- You loved maps and history. I remember you had the whole United States map with each state’s capital memorized in kindergarten. Also you liked art class because you could be creative and do whatever you wanted.
Q3- what was I like as a student?
A- Your teachers said you were a very bright student but you did not apply yourself. You always got your work done and turned it on time but you would always wait until the night before it was due.
Q4-What ways to I learn best?
A- I remember when we would study together for tests in grade school or middle school it always helped you to relate the thing you had to memorize to something you knew or something funny that would help you remember it when you had to. I think you learned best by doing something rather than sit there and read a textbook
Q5- how do I study best?
A- I think you study best when working with others. I know you can learn something by yourself if you had to but always preferred to work with your dad or me. You always studied with some distraction around such as the television on or your music in the background. Like I mentioned earlier you always waited until the last minute to get the work done.
Q6-What did I like to do outside of school when I was younger?
A- You went through a lot of phases. You always played some sport but it was different every time. You had trouble sticking with things because you would get bored with it and want to try something new. You were like a normal kid I guess because you went to friend’s houses and did anything you could to avoid your homework.
Q7- What job or career do you see me in?
A- I see you in advertising or business (sales) you have an incredible personality and people of all ages like you, you make friends easy and people like to be around you and I could see you being highly successful in sales, yet advertising incorporates both of your strong points. Those are being creative and imaginative and the 2 being personality and I think that you would be miserable within the conformity of a 9 to 5 job and that you will be at a success working with people and using your imagination.
Q8- what kind of person do you see me as?
A- I see you as a kind sincere person that enjoys being social and easily adaptable to people of all ages. I see you as creative and funny and sensitive, I also see you as a risk taker and outgoing. The only negative I can see is that when you get bored, you disconnect and become really d own and that is why it is so important that your future involves a career that you can be creative and social.
