Prompt 1

Textron Cambers, graduating class of 2008. A whole two years later and I'm back in the build but this time around I'm in the front of the class room. I stand before a full classroom and the anxiety kicks in. My teacher and I did not discuss any formal plans for me or what exactly I would be doing; I was kind of just thrown under the bus. My teacher and I have a very strong relationship outside of school and by the way she just threw me out there you would've never guessed. I did not expect it to be easy but neither did I expect to be teaching within the first 30 minutes of being in the classroom. I had just walked through the door and put down my bag when suddenly; she called me out and had me introduce myself to her first freshman class (there was another one coming shortly after). I introduced myself and the day began. They worked on their quizzes and then the bell rang. The next class was the senior class and as they all filed into the room, Mrs. A is jotting down a word of the day for me and spilling all this information into my ears and says "class, my friend will introduce herself and then start you off with the word of the day." I didn't even have time to recollect my thoughts or grasp the word that I was going to be breaking down, using in a sentence, and finding related words too. The students recognize me right away but the formal introduction is still required. I introduce myself and just like that the floor was all mine and I was teaching the word of the day. After the word of the day the students did presentations, and then they prepared to do their research papers.
The students only have half a day on Fridays and are required to leave the building once the bell rings. Time was limited in class and all the questions about the research papers had not been answered. At the end of the day Mrs. A had a meeting to go to And I still had the rest of the day left to be in the building. The bell rang and I sat in the class room as I waited for struggling students to come back to have their questions answered. Mrs. A was at her meeting and I was in the classroom teaching the students away. The students were all ready to leave with their transition sentences ready and research topics at hand. Oh boy this was a good first day.

ME, me, Me

Hello, my name is Ashley Marie Morel. I am 19 years old and I am a proud parent of the most beautiful 3 year old ever ( typical mother). Outside of school I like to dance salsa. I go dancing about 2-3 times a week. I'm not that great but it's tons of fun. I love doing family oriented activities such as; bowling, going to the movies, going to the park, doing arts and crafts, and just enjoying their company. I am very eager to start the VIPS program and take as much from the experience as I can. i hope to apply all that i learn to every aspect of my life and disregarding what is not needed. I'm very excited and I hope the rest of the class is as well. Good Luck guys.
