one month, more skills

It's March 16 which means.. I turn legal in one month! Oh snaps..

Usually everyone wants to turn 18 so that way they can be considered an "adult" No curfews, club, go buy ciggs, vote for the next president buy Playboy or porn go to a strip club, stay out late without getting arrested for curfew and so much more. It's not that bad but I don't wanna turn 18. I can get arrested! ]= Might have to pay taxes and did I say get arrested? lol. Even though I'm not having a debut 'cause I don't want to be all stressed out planning, inviting, learning dances and all the jazz, imma try to figure out something, 'cause I'm turning 18. Oh why me. I might be turning 18 but at least I'm still the youngest in the family. I just wish I was still a kid sometimes so I wouldn't have to worry so much -__-*


Anywhoos what I really came to blog about was about "my future & my teaching skills"
I know what you're thinking.. "Leen.. a teacher?" yeah I know.. But come to think of it.. I really want to be a teacher. If you asked me what I wanted to be 7 months ago.. I probably would say.. "I dont know" It was hard because theres many things you can do. In October though, thinking about schools to apply to what I wanted to major in, it came to me this year taking Ms.Roulette's sculpture class, being TA for Mr.Henry for the 2nd year in a row and meeting Mr.Canales & Mr.Gordon, I wanted to become a teacher. I know its not the typical nurse/pharmacist job like most filipino's do to get that $$$$ but unlike some.. I'm not really all for the money. You might think I'm crazy but im not aha. I guess I really wanted to become a teacher to teach other's better than how I was taught. Not that I had bad teachers or anything, I just want to teach so I can help inspire others just like how I was inspired to teach too.

Taking the idea fter reading Arnel's random blog and talking to him about teaching styles he wanted to use from his previous teacher, I decided what the hey, I should make a list of my old teachers and what I teaching techniques I would want to use when I become a teacher..

-Mr.Henry's "sense of humor" & his life stories aha
-Ms.Roulettes weirdness and creativity, which I love her for that(:
-Mr.Patrick Gordons brains
-Mr.Keating's fun in learning
-Mr.Canales and his "slang"
-Mr.Klein's "Don't lie to me" rule 'cause shoot I wouldn't want my students to lie to me!
-Ms.Wirt's kindness
-Mr.Kwaks chill & laid back attitude
-Ms.Jolly's swag(: aha if you know what I mean
-Mr.Scott Gordon's way of putting the things you love like sports & food into education.. even though I still got an F! lol
-Mr.Miranda's weird true life stories
-Mr.Elliot's courage 'cause even if he has to teach us by doing the most embarrasing things, he still got guts to do it
-Mr.Perez & Mr.Henry's multitasking teaching by being a coach & a regular teacher at the same time
& not Ms.Larkins "Don't pick up the black stapler" rule 'cause its just a stapler

These are probably some of the many teacher's but I can't think of them right now! ]= Even though I didn't have a class for some of them at all, I still would like to pick up their techniques I'd wanna use someday. Hopefully, I can become a World Hisory teacher someday.. only 'cause I suck at math, I have bad english -_- & yeah.. it's always nice to learn about the world(: and also teach around high school level so I can also talk about past experiences to other teens adding to education of course. I still am thinking twice if I want to teach middle school but we'll just have to wait and see..
