in my junior year, my us history teacher told us to pick a partner and you guys have to go to the museum of native Americans in Manhatten. I got really excited because i like to go places and also learn about different people history so I chose one of my middle school friends as my partner who was in my high school class we decided to go to that museum together early in the morning as we took the subway we started talking about our memories from middle school and also how well we are gonna do this project as we arrived at the measure we smelled the adventure we took out our cell phones to record videos and to take pictures and a notebook to take notes for our project we learned a lot of fantastic history of native Americans a lot of things amazed us about how they live and their contributions to the modern world we left after we made sure we have enough information for our project one thing we learned from them is life is not all about materialistic things as we were leaving we starting thinking about how we are gonna present this and also make it entertaining to the class at that point we were nervous because public speaking sometimes can get nerve-racking we had alot of questions in our head if the students gonna like because we thought they would not be get bored and will not pay attintence so we decided to make it funnier we were also concerned if the teacher would give us good grade how will she react next day we edited the videos and got ready to give a speech it was the day. we came to class and everyone was smiling at us and giving us a look that today is your tern guys. as the teacher called on us we got up we turned on our video and starting presenting without feeling nervous, we were really happy because all the students were laughing and engaged and they also gave us good feedback and also the teacher gave us good grades.
As I was new to new york and it was my first day in middle school I was very excited and at the same time nervous as I walked into class everything was going well and I liked it then the teacher told everyone to introduce themselves I was like ok that’s pretty good so as everyone started introducing themself and I was enjoying it, but then all of the sudden it’s was my turn so I started introducing my self and all of the sudden everyone started laughing because I pronounced something wrong so I got very nervous and the student starts making fun of me time to time then I said to myself i have to improve my English, so I started going to my local library and started socializing with people as I liked. My teacher was really nice to she helped me improve my English she always checked up on me if I needed help every day she gave me some sentences to write that helped me improve my English and also she told me if your English is weak didn’t mean you are dumb she said you already on next lever by knowing two languages so let people tell you are not smart enough.
education is taken very seriously in my family education is not only the way you learn it is the way you talk deal with people and the way you act as my parents say they always talk to me about how much education is important also in my culture education is not taken for granted because a lot of people could not educate their children due poverty. For me, education means a lot too because I will need it for my future if I wanna get a job or if I wanna start my business or in general if I wanna know what is going around me I don’t want to be left out. I believe that education is everywhere you don’t have to specifically go to school to get the education you can just read books, travel also from internet, etc there are many ways to educate yourself.
one day I was walking in the hallway to my next class in high school it was my final year in high school and I was excited to be a senior and I saw my old friend from middle school who was good at his classes and use to get good grades in middle school I saw him hanging out with the wrong people and running into a lot of trouble I asked him about how were his classes going and was he good to graduate because I wanted all, my friends, to graduate together and enjoy that day together he replied that he is missing some credits and he is failing a lot of classes and he was not going to classes a lot of days I felt really sad and told them that you really have to focuses and stop hanging out with those people I told him lets meet up after school and do our homework together we started going to library together and he a lot had us history class with me which he was struggling with I stated trusting him on that class and his grades really improved a lot but he was still missing some credits so his counselor gave him alot of online classes he was stressed and then the corona came and everything was online so i was still halping him online and he worked so hard and he passed all his classes but we were not able to celebrate our graduation like we wanted but but we did it online.
