June 11

It is almost the end of May and my presentation is going to be next month. I am very nervous and feel time is going very fast. After seeing Ivan's presentation I am scared that I can't top his presentation. I even keep having nightmares about not being able to do my presentation. I just have to re focus on my passion which it is to teach. I have to make the audience feel my motivation and tell them all about my experience. I have to make it happen and make the best book and the best pamphlet they have ever seen.

School four

Today, I went down to school four and helped out the teachers for field day. It was very exciting to have a part in their field day. What turn out to be even better is that I was assigned to help my sponsor Sra. Montanez. I have to say that many of the elementary students where very active in all the games they played. They found a lot of encouragement when their teacher was cheering them on and helping them win the game. In addition, they where even more motivated when their parents came to watch them.

1st Senior Project Presentation

Yesterday, we experienced a historical event that is going down in the Lindenwold books. Our first presentation for Senior Project was presented by Ivan Pinero. I was really impressed by his presentation and he set high expectations for the next to come. He demonstrated the audience that he learned something and that he enjoyed doing his project. Moving along, I really enjoyed his presentation and learned many knew things. Overall, the presentation was a home run and Mr. Abrams and Mr. Snyder did a fantastic job. All we have left now is to finish the rest of the presentation and hit more home runs. I am very confident that everyone else will do a great job to.

period 7 spahish class

Before, leaving to see my sponsor I decided to visit my mentor. When I walked inside her classroom, Ms. Kelly was playing a study game for the finals. Spanish can be really fun when you have an amazing teacher like her. She invited me to have a part in the game. In other words lead the class and correct them if they made a mistake. I have to admit I was a bit scared and nervous. Overall,I know I did okay and still have to work very hard to one day reach Ms. Kelly's level of teaching. Moving along, another thing I can get use too, is sitting in the teacher's chair, You definitely can't compare the seat of the teacher with the students.

Evaluators

My mentor Ms. Kelly gave me the advice to blog on how I decided to pick my evaluators. My three evaluators are Ms. Haffner (councilor),Mrs. Clark (special education teacher), Mrs.Cavalo(Language Supervisor).


Ms. Haffner has been very helpful throughout my senior year and basically knows my life. She has been a great councilor, friend and mentor. I decided to choose her because I knew she would feel my inspirational side of been a teacher.


Moving along, Mrs Clark has been the supervisor over the Bible club and she basically makes sure the students are alright. In many of my blogs I make clearly that God is first in my life and that I want to teach at a Christian School. Mrs. Clark knows that side of me and if the evaluators don't understand. I know for fact Mrs. Clark will make the evaluators see it the way I see it, and feel my Passion.

Furthermore, since Mrs. Cavalo is a language supervisor, I see in her what one day I want to become. She has gone through the whole process of becoming a Spanish teacher and knows how much I want this opportunity to become a teacher.

"Field Day"

Since I am not going to go to prom, Mrs.Thomas our gym teacher asked me if I could do her a favor. While the juniors and seniors are going to attend their prom, the elementary students are having their field day. Of course I saw this as an opportunity to work with kids and make connections for my senior project. Even though id tough working with little kids I am going to have a blast. What makes it even better is that I get to leave school for periods 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th period. I look forward to see a lot of competition among the students and let the games begin!!!!

Lion choice award

Coming back from Florida I remembered that "Lion's choice award" was on the Monday when we came back from Senior trip. Deep in heart something told me to check the mail box because I knew someone had picked me. Ever since I was a freshman I have wanted to get chosen for such an honor. As soon as I arrived at home the letter was definitely in my mail box. I was jumping off the walls and showing off everyone about my award. I am so happy that the teacher who picked me was Ms. Kelly, she has been my mentor and a friend I really admire.
