I really liked this reading for this week. It was very
interesting and I liked how they included all the dialogue from the little
girl. From doing that it gave a better perspective of what this young girl was
like. Throughout the reading I had the feeling that this young girl did not
have the confidence she needed. Because she was Mexican and had just moved to
Texas she was obviously not up to speed with the rest of the children but she
was certainly capable. When they started talking about how she made a group of friends
that were really supportive of her academically and socially it was a good turning
point in the reading. It is really important to have people that become close
to you that can relate to you and that can help you. You cannot do everything
on your own and it is okay to ask for help.
For me, it was very scary coming to college I felt like I was going to
be completely on my own but that is not the case. I met so many people last
semester and have many friends that I have been friends with for years that go
to RIC. Being in FNED 150 last semester really helped a lot also. I have a very
generous and caring teacher that really just wanted to help us. I know that I can
email her with any question I have and she always gets back to me. Things
started changing for the better for Esme in the reading when she met these
friends. It is better to go through things with someone else there, always.
*Does anyone else have someone that they go to at school
that they can get help from, like a friend or a previous teacher?
I really enjoyed reading your blog, Janelle. In my post, I wrote about how in high school i had a great close circle of friends who excelled academically. having them really helped me because i was comfortable with them but could also get help from them if i needed it. I agree when u say that having someone there is always better. I could not imagine being without good friends. also, i agree that our last fned teacher was great, she is my adviser now and its comforting because i know i can ask her anything
ReplyDeleteNice post Janelle. My mom is a teacher so throughout school she pushed my to my full potential. I don't know what I would have done without her helping me. Whenever I need help or want someone to look over my work I go to her and it really helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis was a well written, sincere post, i can relate because i do have that teacher that i can go to. My high school math teacher is that person. She would work so hard with me to help me succeed and through her dedication is where i gained my love for math. To this day she has my back, and it really helps when i need someone to be there for me with help.
