My first assignment is to explain what qualities make a great teacher. Usually teacher have an abiding impact on their students. Good teachers are made up of a combination of many qualities but there are 5 important qualities that I think makes a great teacher. First, a great teacher must be engaging so they can have the ability to grab the students attention if students get off track. The teacher should plan fun, new, and energetic lessons for students so the students do not get bored and look forward to coming to that class. Next, a great teacher must be dedicated to their job. That means they are willing to come in early and stay late for students that need or want extra help. A great teacher must also be compassionate so they take outside factors into consideration. For example, if a student is having a rough time at home the teacher understands and makes necessary adjustments to help through that issue. A great teacher must be accountable so they hold themselves to the same expectations that they hold to the students. Lastly, a teacher must be adaptable. The teacher should be willing to change the way of their teaching if half of the class doesn't understand that particular lesson. My favorite teacher is my history teacher because she has all the qualities that I think makes a good teacher. If there was anything she could do to support me I would tell her to keep doing what she did to support me last year.
In class, we watched a video created by John Green, the author of Fault in Our Stars, on education. One thing that he mentioned in his video is how he thinks it is students duties to use their education to do great things. I strongly agree with this statement because the whole purpose of going to school is to get a good education to become successful. Getting a good education gets students prepared for the real world. Also, it helps get a better job than a person would without an education. Getting a good education comes from setting goals for yourself. Without goals there would be no success. As a sophomore I have set many goals for myself and I hope I achieve most of them by the end of this school year. One of my academic goals for this year is to get all A's. This will be difficult and will require me to stay after school for extra help especially in the subjects that are my weaknesses. Another one of my goals is to get into some type of activity or club so I can make new friends. I've set many goals for myself this year and I hope I achieve them.
