Do What You Love and Love What You Do

Hi, My name is Kathryn and i'm in 10th grade Honors History. I have been through many teachers in the past. Some have been great and others not so much. Teachers impact students lives greatly whether it's for better or for worse. Me being a student I look up to my teachers as role models.

Students are told throughout grade school to spend their lives doing something they love. If you have a passion for something you should do it, but if you don't then why are you wasting your time? Many kids struggle with getting the education they need and deserve because teachers have simply given up and don't care.  When someone, like a teacher loves kids and is passionate about their job it makes me the student want to come to school and continue learning. Good teachers are people who are willing to go out of their way to help their students because they love their job.They value their students and treat them with respect. One of my favorite middle school teachers was exactly this way. She got me to really love school by just having a smile on her face everyday. She bent over backwards to get students what they needed in order to succeed. She gave us freedom to be students and explore our learning styles.This year in Honors History my teacher can support me by always lending me a helping hand.

A good education is a valuable thing that many kids in the world do not get to experience. In the video " An Open Letter to Students Returning to School" John Green talks about our duties as students. I agree with John Green that it's our duty as students to use the education we receive to do great things. We are handed this amazing opportunity to learn that others do not get. We should apply our knowledge the best we can in order to do great things. Everyone has goals in order to improve whether they are school related or not. Some of my goals for this year are to maintain no lower than C in any class, Participate more, and to be able to run three miles without stopping. To reach my school related goals I am going to not only work hard but study information every night and make sure I am on top of all of my assignments. For my athletic goal I will train and run everyday in order to reach my goal. With encouragement from others I am determined to reach my goals
