There is always someone who has impacted your life in one way or another. Sometimes we hope that we can make someone feel better, encourage a student to change their bad habits. My Genre Reflection is about a student who has made an impression on me, and I hope that I can help her realize that she is a wonderful person on the in and outside.
"No one knows for certain how much impact they have
on the lives of other people. Sometimes, we have no clue.
Yet we push it just the same."
-- Hannah Baker, 13 Reasons Why
Be still young girl and smile
Really, it's okay to let your face curve once in awhile
And don't fret if you're ever unsure
Never fear girl, let your voice be heard.
Don't let them intimidate you.
If only you would let your smile represent that you are true,
then happiness and confidence would define you.
Amber, I got goosebumps when I read this!!! I love how you added the quote in the front =) it makes me understand what I am about to read a little more. It really is strong by the words you use, I like "never fear girl" because it sounds like you talking! I can feel your sympathy towards this girl and that shows how much you care about your students. Thank you for sharing this! --- Whitney
ReplyDeleteAmber,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a huge heart! I have to say that, like Whitney, I got goosebumps also when I read this. What a fantastic piece of poetry. You are going to be a great teacher and because I have said so much of this to you already, I will keep this short. You rock!
Chris
