Three Teachers and The Lessons They Taught Me

Image
     Throughout my time in elementary, middle, high school, and even now in college  I have been impacted from my teachers who have instructed me. Sometimes this impact is how the teachers' had hoped with me as their student gaining a sense of how a particular societal brief operates in the real world or the proper way to formulate a hypothesis when conducting a chemistry experiment how light fractures through different liquids. In order to understand how a few teachers have impacted me, I need to explain what I was laking prior to taking these classes. 6th Grade - English - Ms. Centrella      As a avid reader English was a subject I generally did not struggle with English...until it came to Ms. Centrella's grammar quizzes. I hated them. I would dread going to her class to take them. Those 10 question quizzes were the bane of my existence. Needless to say, turns out I was terrible at grammar and as someone who grew up in a household where getting a B was unacceptable, the fear

3 Classes I'm Hype For

      Out of the classes I have selected to choose for next semester, three of them I am quite excited for.  My main reasoning behind selecting these three classes is because each course is based on teaching something that interests me. (Thinking about this now, that's generally the main reason someone is interested in a class.) Korean  I:      My main reasoning behind being excited for this course is because I really want to learn the language as I am interested in the Korean  culture. If my skills in Korean getting to the point that I feel comfortable having a conversation in the language, I'd love to study  abroad there. Of course, I understand learning a new language is very very very hard, especially East Asian languages. For a native English speaker learning this type of language is very hard because the grammar, writing system, and their structure of formal language is completely different from the way English is structured.     In high school I took many Spanish classe

Children are heavily influenced by their parents and Ayah Talavera, a young adult who dreams of becoming a creative producer, is no exception. Talavera is from Sayreville, New Jersey and at 21 years old, is a junior currently at Montclair State University (MSU). Her major is Communication and Media Arts. She transferred from Middlesex College because of MSU’s great media program and from recommendations from Montclair alumni. To Ayah Talavera the College of the Arts has a “diverse teaching staff” and she hopes to network and make connections during her time at Montclair so she can get insight and recommendations into the media industry. Although she may seem like a normal college student, Talavera is a hardworking, well-rounded, and driven individual which stemmed from the variety of activities she participated in during her childhood. After reading the above paragraph you may wonder how Talavera is so hardworking and career oriented. Mrs. Talavera had a large part to play in this.

I Became Best Friends with my BFF in the Dumbest Way

Image
      The acronym BFF. Best Friends Forever. These words honestly brings up an annoying memory for me. When I was in 3rd grade I had a best  friend named Aliyah. We did everything at school together when we could. We played at recess together, spending times on the swings or jumping rope in our favorite patch of grass. (Yes, we had a favorite patch of grass. This patch of grass was a different type and color to the rest of the grass in the field we played in.)  Then 4th grade came around and Aliyah and I stayed close friends. We were still in all of the same classes and we still hung out at recess.  About halfway into the year, we had a class assignment to do and it needed to be completed in pairs. The only difference was my teacher selected random kids to pick their partners. A girl named Amanda was selected to choose her partner and she picked me to be her partner even though I had barely had any conversations with her. This made me kinda annoyed as I wasn't able to work with my

Top 3 Easy Songs to Sing For Beginners

      Ever since I was little I have been singing. I started singing in my elementary schools choir and with each school I graduated I moved onto the next level choir. My go to singing spot is near a pond behind my house and my go to singing song is Fireflies by Owl City. This specific song fits my vocal range really well and I find the song easy to sing with.      When I was younger and was unfamiliar with voice types and my own vocal range I struggled finding songs that I could sing along to on my own in my free time. For those who want to be able to sing, but don't know where to start here's a breakdown of voice parts and three easy songs to sing as a beginner regardless of your voice part. Soprano - the highest highest female voice type              (think of opera singers) Mezzo-Soprano - the 2nd highest female voice type  Alto - the 2nd lowest female voice range          (Altos are generally female, but young boys can be an alto before their voice deepens.)

Spices, Glorious Spices

Spices, Glorious Spices     Personally, when it comes to garlic I enjoy it on your standard garlic bread, garlic knots, and white pizza.          A not so common garlic meal combo that I enjoy are garlic mashed potatoes. I guess you can say my taste in food revolving around garlic tend to be quite bland and also oddly all around the same color. To change the topic in a direction I am more passionate, I must introduce my favorite food. Pierogies. Pierogies are polish fried dumplings that can have potatoes, cheese and potatoes, meat, strawberries, lentils, mushrooms, spinach and garlic, smoked cheese and cranberry, etc. The most common filling is just potato. Garlic is not used in this dish; however onion powder is. But what is onion powder? Onion powder is a seasoning made from dehydrated ground onions according to Google. This spice has the concentrated onion flavor without the moisture and bulk of the onion bulb itself. During the process of making pierogies, onion powder is used duri
