What do I feel most proud of in my teaching this week?

I feel most proud of the fact that my students trust me enough to come to me with anything. This is not just for this week, but since I first started teaching on the high school level. I am very proud that I have a good rapport with my students. Even when they share information that I have to report, overall I think those students share with me because they really want someone to know, but they don't want to seem as if they are snitching. I have students come to me about their home life, school and even court issue and I try to steer them in the right direction. This past week a student asked me a personal question that I could not answer. Some female students were talking about feminine hygiene and she was embarrassed that she didn't know about a particular item they were talking about so she came to me. I usually have an answer for everything, but I advised her to talk to her mother. So, often times I can't discuss certain things with them, I feel honored that they would ask me.

  1. Mortissa, You are honored. Remember what we said this summer. Your students have to see you as a human being or they can't learn from you. Your students obviously see you as not only a human being, but also one they respect and trust. Dr. J.
