Prom.

Since I was a freshman, prom was always my thing. Before I went to my first prom, I told myself that I am going to go to prom all of the 4 years that I am in high school. Little did I know that I would be attending more than four! My freshman year I went to prom with Erick Jones who was a senior. I loved that prom, it was so much fun! My sopohomore year, I went to two proms. I went to Highland's senior prom with a boy I used to work with at McDonalds and his name was Ahmad Covington. The second prom I went to that year was to Lindenwold's prom with Terrance Carter. I love him soo much :). My junior year, I went to two proms again. I went with my child-hood friend Eric Smith to his junior prom which he attended Timber Creek High School and he came to my official first prom. Now, my senior year, I only plan on going to MY PROM, NO ONE ELSES. At the beginning of the year, I wasn't looking forward to attending prom because I've been to five already, I thought this year wouldn't be very exciting because it's just another prom. I was wrong. Out of all the proms that I have been too, this year's prom is the most important one, it's the one that means the most because it will be my last one. I'm excited about it now and I found a dress that I want to wear and it is $500 (crazy right?). But, if that's how much I have to pay to wear the dress that I am officially in love with and must wear to my last prom, that is how much is going to be spent! It's my senior year and I only intend on going to one prom this year and since it's going to be my last. I'M GOING ALL OUT!




[GOING TO ADD MY PICS LATER]

Teacher for a day.

For my History mid-term, myself along with 2 other girls in my class had to be teachers. We had to teach a section out of a chapter from our History book and make our lesson stretch from the beginning of the class until the bell rang. I WOULD NEVER WANT TO BE A TEACHER! Before we started, I was extremely nervous. I was so worried because if the class begins to misbehave, we have to control the class, Coach Hanford does not intervene unless we call a time-out. Each group gets 2 time-outs. One is a 30 second time-out and the other is a 60 second time-out. Our group didn't use any of them, even though we should have. The hardest part of teaching the lesson was that students from other classes were coming in, teachers came in acting as students to mess up our lesson, IT WAS HARD! There were only two teachers in our class today: Coach Hanford and Ms. Wenzel. They weren't too bad, Coach was being a pain in the neck, but he wasn't terrible and that was a good thing because we are only permitted to kick out one teacher, but fortunately we didn't have to use that. Booshon Warrington, Jesse Nemeth, Anthony Jones, Jamil Coleman, and Devar Robinson all came into my class that period to cause a disruption. Before they entered the room, I heard them talking outside the door so I made them walk away. Unfortunately, they decided to take nerf balls from the gym and Jesse threw them at me while I was at the door trying to get them to get away.

For the most part, I was pleased with how it went. Last week when we were talking about the project, the entire class agreed to behave for each other because we are not only getting graded as teachers, but as students also. If we are playing the student role, we cannot get kicked out of the class or we get a zero and this is our MID-TERM grade. It was definately a lot of pressure on us. I felt anxiety the entire period because I couldn't stop laughing at what everyone was doing. For example, Matthew Weil came into the class and was acting like a 10 year-old. I think I would be a bad teacher because today I realized I'm very sympathetic and therefore I'm a get-over. :( (haha) I just kept letting him get away with everything when all we really had to do was kick him out because he wasn't supposed to be in the class anyway. Eventually when he got out of hand, we kicked him out and he WENT CRAZY! He began to throw about 30 papers in the air and across the room, he threw a desk, and he went to the board and erased all the notes Yacqueline wrote. It was insane! I used to think I wanted to be a teacher at one time, but after being a Senior Mentor and doing that mid-term project I've realized being a teacher is one of the professions that I want to stay far away from! I'm just relieved it's over and done with :)
