      In middle school and high school math and Athletics were always my favorite subjects. I really loved math because numbers were very easy to understand and they just came natural to me. Athletics was also my favorite subject because we always got to play sports, be active, and have fun. My least favorite subject was English language arts. English was my second language. It was very hard to learn English which made everything else harder. That is why English language arts was my least favorite subject. It math, my teachers were always very supportive and willing to help out when I didn’t understand the question. They always gave homework because they said the key to being good at math was repetition. In athletics, the coaches help me build character and discipline that transferred to the classroom. This led to better successful in the classroom. In ELA, the teachers never did anything negative I just believe that they could of repeated themselves a little more because I always had trouble hearing. The most positive thing that my teachers did was build a relationship and got to know me. This was great because it motivated me to try harder because I knew that the teachers cared if I was successful. I am not currently teaching but I know that I will take all the positive experiences from my past and apply to my teaching to help students be successful in the classroom.
