I want to talk about my elementary school teacher. I lived in another town from school. I had to take a bus to school. I still remembered one day I missed the bus and I was late for school and missed a math class. The teacher was very nice. She gave me homework and taught me after school. Because she knew I had to walk two hours to get to school. She did a lot of things to help her students and I remembered some students did not have money to buy lunch, she will share her lunch with them, and she also used to help students before the final. She treated her students just like her own children and paid a lot of attention to her students. She lived in a dorm. On holidays we all liked to go together and she cooked something from her hometown to share with us just like family. We were laughing, talking, and eating all day long until late. She had to hurry to send us home. She always tried to do her best for her students and wanted her students to be successful. After she retired from school, we always called her and talked. She was always happy to hear from us. I wish her a healthy long life. She is my teacher forever. I cannot wait to see her again. I want to thank her for being a great teacher to me. I learned a lot from her and I will always remember her in my life.

I finished high school in my country 42 years ago.Generally,in that time , people was poor and government didn't take care of that.To go to school was funny and fortune. Middle school was compulsory(eight grade), but high school was not allowed for everyone.The classes in high school didn't opened if there didn't have more than 12 students.I liked to go to school ,but for me was not allowed.Fortunately,there were only 12 students and they needed one more and I was accepted. I was not allowed to participate in same activities of school, because of my biography. My family was considered anticommunist. The best thing was my improvement in math and physics.Every year we had a concourse,race, in every subject between cities schools.They needed the best students to win.For every year I was in my team school and we won most of the races. In most of subjects I was a good student. Only in the subject:Theory of markesism-leninism I was a bad student.It isn't because I didn't study that subject ,but teacher didn't like me in that class.This was the worst thing in my years of school. Few people in that time had a college education or University education.Many of governments administrative worker had finished only middle school.Government opened evening classes for their workers.Teachers in my school were from another city,far from my small city.They needed to go every Saturday at home and often they liked to go home on Friday afternoon or to return on Monday late.But they had to teach evening classes.Often they believed in me to teach their classes,usually math and physics classes.Was an best thing for one boy to teach adults and government workers. school.

I remembered my first day, i went to the school. That was a very happy day for me. I was so excited and so glade! My Mather put big white bows on my hair and i wore a nice uniform. The first school year began at September first. There is big ceremony before first class starting. Every students in nice uniforms and with batch of flowers. In the end of the ceremony, we gave the flowers to ours teachers. There is just one teacher in the first three grades and she teach all subjects. So, when ceremony ended, the students from high school had to take the new students and bring them to class. But unfortunately nobody took me. Then i stood at the school square and started to cry. I was disappointment. But soon one high school student sow my tears, took me and brought in to the class. After i took my place at the table i got calm and our teacher introduced herself. Her name was Svetlana Nikolaevna and she was my first teacher. I felt glade again and i felt adult because i got school! That was good experience and bad experience in one day, but at ended of that day i was happy, my new live begane!

After I finished the school I realized I loveed my school very much. My school life was excelent! I remember very well all my teachers, and all my friends from the school. More then 80% of my memory from the school it is good memory! But I also have some wors memoryes too. My first teacher in elementary school was not very good. She was strict and angry. She didn't understand children at all.Thanks God she left after two years All my others teachers in middle, and high school were very nice and lovely! The best time for me it was in high school. I have learned many valuable skills and made many friends. High school experience are helpful for the development from child to an adult. I and my classmates grow together and learn something new and good from one another. When I started high school I was so excited! I learned so much about myself, and about life. I learned many lessons, and all these changed me. Specialy in the school I love sports activities. I was the best runner in my class. I was real sportswomen! Also I was good writer. I liked to write my own poems. My literary teachers was proud of me! I was a good student. I hope some teachers and classmates remember me, and time when we were together.I really want to thanks to all my wonderfool teachers, and friends without whom my life wouldn't have been so happy, real and unforgettable.My school experiences were seriously. Now I know how important is to lesten and learn somethink new, and how to make a difficult decisions. I know one day my son will go to school too, and I hope he will enjoy!!!!!!

My fondest memory of my school experience is the time when I am in elementary school . I finished high school in my country . The school , teacher, classroom and students are completely different from here. In my country, from first to fifth grade is elementary , from six to nine is middle school and tenth , eleventh , and twelfth grade are high school. I pretty much know all my classmate and we became close friend because we all have the same class from first to fifth grade. Although I lost contact with almost all my classmate but I still and always remember about my second grade teacher. Her name was Mrs. Binh. She is like a second mom to me . I learned a lot from her. She always tried to do her best for her students and wanted her students to be successful. When we did something wrong, she never yelled instead she started explained again and again until we get it. And I remembered she opened this study group at her house for anyone who don't understand or stuck on homework, she's welcome to help you. I went to her house almost everyday to get help because the worst subject for me in school is math. She tutored me and I started to get it. The best part was she always made cookies and treats for us after we finished all our homework. And sometimes she would let us have a small party in our class if everyone passed the test. Those were the best memories ever. I want thank her for everything she did for us. I have become a successful person now. And if I had a chance I definitely going back to Vietnam to visit her and my classmate.

Not all of the subjects are easy to learn when I was a high school student I had some weakness like others but my favorite subject was math perhaps my dad was the most important reason because he was a math teacher and he always helped me.

I grew up and went to school in a small village, where everybody knew everybody. So, I had a lot of friends in my class and at school. In the morning children from my neighborhood used to walk all together to school. Sometimes we would get so busy playing, that we'd be late, or end up on the soccer field instead of school. But we were good students because we knew that our teachers could meet our parents anytime, and tell them all about what we were doing at school.

We went to nature to the forest and to the river.In our school we went in for sports very much.We competed with other schools in different kinds of sports.I remember everybody and everything about my school,I often tell my children about the finest time in me life.

The foundest memory of my scool is my chemestry class.Why? Because the techer was my mather. She was my best teacher in the whole world. She always help me out. But I had the oposite site of good. Someof students do not really like a chemistry class. So I had some times big problems, specially with the boys which ones didn’t like this class. They persuded me after classes and bit me up. Sometimes I had to run from school very fast and nobody could catch me. Those guys understood that they cant catch me after school any more. So they dicided to find me in my class. As a result a lot of students saw that and after class they told my mother about those boys. Next class my mom call them to the bord to solve chemistry problems, but they could’t do it and she told them,”boys, if you touch my son one more time I will tell your parents and they will know what have you done, and I will call you to the bord every single class to solve problems. If you will not solve this problems I will call your parents too. So you guys don’t have any choice, my advise just stop doing this and start thinking about your school”. After that conversation those guys totally changed themselves a lot . They did homework on time. They started get better grades not just for chemistry class and for athers too. I think from this story you can see how bad boys can change with a wise teacher in the world

I think for many people school is the best time in our life.Since childhood,we are dream about time when we can go to school.How will we doing our home work or doing things that every students doing.But when we start going to school some of us think that school is not a great place where they are want to be. I always want to go to school.When I was a child it was my best dream.I remember every year that I spent in school because it was the best time in my life.I always have a lot of friends and I have always loved to participate in school competitions.Also there were two subjects I always good at,it is chemistry and biology.I always love this two subjects and that is why I want to be a physical therapist.I liked learning things about our body and way how does it work.I always seemed to be exiting, I couldn't wait the next lesson and I always wonder what is next.I always wonder how our body works,every part that doing special functions is difficult to understand but it is very interesting to work on every piece of it.I study chemistry and biology almost for five years and I will keep working on it for next four years.I remember with joy my school years and I thankful to God for the wonderful time when i can study and learn something new about our great and wonderful world.

When I was a kid my parents said that I have a good voice and I need to improve my voice. At age 12, I began to sing in a choir. I liked choir, it was interesting for me. A little bit later I joined an ensemble. Including me, the ensemble consisted of 6 girls. We worked hard and had a lot of practice every week. We sung at many contests and festivals in my city, Ternopil.

Since I was a child I wanted to be a dentist. After I finished high school I went to study at dental school. My dental school is the best in my memory. I remember when I was a student I had a lot of fun. It was very interesting. I learned a lot of new things every day. I have met many new people. I had a lot of friends. I enjoyed communication with them. Also most of teachers and professors were very nice people.

I want to tell my fondest memory from my high school. I had excellent teachers and I love all of them. But I always remember my history teacher because she spent much time with us. I was god at literature and history. This two classes were very interesting for me. Our history teacher was single and liked to travel. Every school vacation she organized journey for our class. My fondest memory took place in 1982 when I was a fourteen year old girl. Once she took us to small journey out of our city to nature. It was winter. There was a small river and it was frozen. Next to the river was a big swamp. The swamp was frozen too. It was conventional for my classmates and me to skate. I want to note that the day was warm and shiny. When we started our game everything was good. Then, we were so obsessed with our game that we didn’t feel that the ice became thinner. When I got ready to skate, I felt that the ice was breaking. But there was not time to escape and I fell into the swamp. You can’t imagine how cold it was. I wanted to cry but I didn’t. My friends helped retrieve me from weather. Then, they and our teacher made a fire (when we had journey to the nature, we always made fire to cook a dinner for us). I took off my shoes, socks and pants and put them close to the fire. Our teacher brought potatoes. We put them in the fire and after while the potatoes were ready. I remember that they were the most delicious potatoes that I had ever eaten. I had many interesting journeys with my teacher and my classmates for three years that she thought us. I will remember with love my teacher all my live.

I will talk about my first day in my high school. It was a very hard day for me. I couldn’t understand any thing in that day because I was new in America and I couldn’t speak English I was a very sad and I felt I want to go back home . I was so bored in the day and I was kept looking at the clock to see the time. The teacher kept talking and talking, I didn’t understand what he/she want from me. But after awhile I got better and better in the English language and I could understand what’s going an. My favorite subject was math. It was an easy class for me. I always got a good grade, because my parents are very good in math , so when I need help to solve any problem , they would help me and teach me the easy way or the way how I could understand it . The math is like a game if you know the rules, so the math was like a game for me. I always help the student in my class.

My most fondest memory happened in my first elementary school year. I lived in small town from away from my school. I had to walk to school. My older sister and brother and I all went to the same school. I still remember one day. It was Summer which is the rainy season in my country. There was a bridge in between my house and the school. It rained so hard that it flooded the town. The flood was so bad it broke the bridge. My sister put me on her back and walked around the bridge and thru the flood. After she carried me to the other side of the bridge she went back to help others. She carried about 25 people thru the flood to the other side so they could go to school. I was very proud of my sister. It was a wonderful memory.

In my school experience happened a lot of fondest things.Especially,I remember when I was in second grade,I and my classmates played with ball on the break and I broke a big window.In that moment I thought to take my bag and runaway from school,but my teacher saw me and catch me.It was director's window.I was afraid because my teacher will tell to my father about it.My father was very strict,and I thought that accident going to be a big problem for me.We went with my teacher to director's room and he said "tomorrow have to come with your father to pay for the window". I went home and didn't tell anything about that what happened.

I want to share with you one story about my college. I studied to be a family counselor. I had a class was called child education. We should pass this class. We are suppose to interact with the children in the preschool. I chose three kids. I was in a room with the children. My professor and classmates evaluate my performance through a one-way glass window. I was in the room for twenty minutes. I have to stay in the room from 10:00 until 10:20. The room had many toys. I define to the children about time and space. I select a variety of games. First game was a competition between the kids. The second game was an activity. Finally, there was a question game. Although, my time was not enough I was satisfied. My professor was happy with my performance. She recorded my performance and put it in the library for other students watched it.

I’m here to talk about the best thing in my 7th grade school year. I started 7th grade when I’m here in USA. Everything was great. I made friend the first day of school. They were also refugee students like me whose had just came from Thailand. We were great friends. The best thing was we were all in the same class all day long. The only class that we were not together was PE. Everyone had a different teacher. We usually hang out together at lunch. We always made joke and laugh after it. During class time, we helped each other to get works done. We were not copying or anything, but we help like translating the question. We always get our class work done. Our teacher was proud of us for helping each other out. We were the top students in his class. Our teacher was very nice and kind. Everything he said always had a point to it. He speaks neat and loud. I can hear and understand him from far distance. My friends and I usually stayed after school for extra lesson from him. He loved telling stories after the lessons. His stories were great. I never bored listen to it. On weekend, I always went to visit my friends at their house. I sometimes sleep over at one of my friend’s house and played video games. My 7th grade school year was the best year ever. I wish I could go back in time and be with my friends and have fun. Most of my friends were move out to other states. I feel alone in ARC here.

The best memory of my school experience in my country, was back to school every year. In my country we had summer vacation three month. Everyone was said stories to friends. How they spent summer time. We’re enjoyed to see each other. Every year in school we got to study new subjects. I like PE, geography, art and physic. I remembered our geography teacher’s lesson was interesting. She knew her subject very well. We’re always enjoy to listen her stories about another countries, land and people. Sometimes it was bad, sometimes it was wonderful in school, but we still have day to come and to look each other once a year, or we send e-mail.

I like remembering about school even though I didn't like to be in it. The things I remembered the most were physical education and history. Physical education because it was outside and history because I like traveling. Our class had 30 people. We were an awesome team. 11 years of school went by great.

School time is the best time in life. My favorite school memories are about my first teacher and my class. There were 32 students in my class. We were very friendly. Every summer we traveled with our teacher. Also we liked to have parties together. Especially we liked to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It was very romantic day for us. We made Valentine’s cards for classmates, bought candies and flowers for our teachers. When I come in my national country, I try to see my classmates to remember those nice days.

Ok, if I think well, I think it was when I received a pioneering tie. It's kind of what a scout is here. The worst experience was ..... sorry but my bad experiences I no longer remember. I do not like to remember. Subjects that were best were history and geography. I had some problems with Latin. I can not understand the point. It was a “dead language ". And I do not understand why I have to learn. The best thing about my school was that it opened my love for reading. And knowledge.

My best school memory is the day of my high school graduation. In my national country, a parting bell rings on the last day of instruction. All of the students, their parents, relatives, teachers and the director of the school get together in the back of the school. The students give some flowers to the teachers. After that, the best student has to carry a little girl. The little girl has to hold a bell and ring it. On this day, I was told that I will carry the little girl with the bell. I was surprised. I studied very well. I had very high grades, but in my class a lot of students studied very well. It was a great honor. Then I danced a waltz with our director. I was 17 years old, but I, my parents and my friends remember that day till now.

I remember when I was in the fifth grade my teacher moved me to the different desk. I had to sit next to the girl which I did not like. I was very upset. So I started talking loudly. I interrupted other students and the teacher. So the teacher kicked me out of class. Then I had to go to the principle. There I had the stressful conversation with him which I remember up to now.

My fondest memory in school when I was in Belarus is when I was a hall monitor. I had a lot of power and was respected by teacher for my hard work. My worst memory memory would have to be when I lost my brand new watch while playing in the school yard. I was good at reading, I didn't like "Russian Language" because we had to write a lot. The best about my school was that I had second shift and my classes started at 2:00 pm. I like to sleep in.

My best memories about the school are related to my friends, teachers, and native place. I love very much to learn in school. I remember when I was 6 years my future teacher came to my parents and asked them permission to let me go to school, because there were less students in the class. My parents agreed and I started the school one year earlier it supposed to be. My favorite subjects were history, geography and biology. I remember one day I was supposed to act as the main character in one play for Russian literature, but I was very sick, so my friends put me on a sled and brought me to the class and I played my role. Everybody told me I was very brave. There are many others good memories about school I don’t remember any bad ones. I think being student in the school is the greatest thing in people’s life.

Some people want to change something in their life, what would it be? I thought a lot about it, but I do not know what exactly.
