Hello world. My name is Catherine Almeida. However, I prefer to go by "Cat". As I am now embarking my sophomore year of high school, I have experienced many different teachers and many different teaching styles. In my opinion, a teacher is "great teacher" if they listen to their students and have an understanding of their busy schedules. Between sports and extracurriculars, students barely have enough time to eat dinner with their families, never mind write a 5 paragraph essay or study for a test every night. When I think of one or two of my favorite teachers from the past, I remember them being considerate and having a sense of humor. Aside from being understanding, a great teacher must strive to motivate their students to want to come to class and learn everyday. From my past experiences, this can be achieved by having a respectful relationship with their students and throwing humor into a daily lesson. This year, I only ask for support through an understanding of students' chaotic schedules and an open mind towards the ideas of your students.
I completely agree with John Green about our duty to use our education to do great things. In this generation, with the technology and advancements provided for us, we have the opportunity to make a difference. We can advance the fields of science and math by gaining knowledge and applying it to real world problems. However, teachers are those who motivate the students and provide them with the vital knowledge needed to succeed. This year academically, I strive to achieve all A's in my classes to reflect my understanding of the material taught. I plan on achieving this goal through hard work and dedication to my studies throughout the year. Athletically, I aim to excel as a forward on the girls varsity soccer team. I plan to achieve this goal by trying my hardest during practices, trying new techniques, and critiquing my form. I am excited for a new school year.
