Why My Teacher Deserves an A+
by Michael Stephen Mejias Pagan on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 1:14am
       Hold on to your chairs, open your eyes wide because I am about to tell you why my teacher deserves an A+. For starters she is a decent educator. She has her ways to teach us, and we actually learn! She has a funny technique of making us pay attention. Although her funny technique is interesting, let's just start from the beginning, shall we?

       Mrs. Román is a person that as an educator has reached into my soul deeply and has grown on my heart little roots that made me the person I am today. Inspiring person, if you ask me. Thanks to her I learned that I can be myself and be proud of who I am with no shame. She gets the best out of you as a student. Her ways of teaching are the most interesting ones, let's take a look.

       Once she gave us an assignment called "Poetry Booklet" where we had to use our creativity and the poem techniques she taught us to the test. Oh and the time she had us do a "Cooking Show Video" to test and practice our speech skills. She has such a desirable patience with us. When she is giving her class there is no dry-eyes in the room, she maintains us connected with what she is saying. Now comes the fun part, where I get to tell you the funny technique she uses to get us to pay attention when we get chatty.

      When we get all chatty and distracted she simple raises her hand. You might say: "Wait, what?" When she raises her hand she holds three fingers and starts counting from three to zero, very slowly. When she gets to zero, she whistles in a way that even the wind stops blowing. She gets our attention quickly. We always have educated fun at her classroom. I honestly won't change my English teacher for nobody. She is a very special teacher and unique in her own way.

       My teacher deserves an A+ simply because as a teacher, you are supposed to inspire, give hope, lift spirits and most important teach; she contains all of those. She deserves an A+ because every day I go to her class I do not leave the same, I learn about speech, grammar and some life lessons that forever are going to stay within me. Mrs. Román is so worthy of that A+ not just because she gets to our hearts and changes them for the better, she also teaches us about the good ways and how to find ourselves in this up-hill road called life. I am finishing I swear! She deserves that A+ because she is one of those teachers you don't see every day. She captivates you with her wisdom and takes you to a place where everything is possible. I believe in her with all my heart. That's why my teacher deserves an A+.

Bravo por Michael!!! May God Bless You All!!!
Love,
Mrs. Maribel Román
