A great teacher is someone who makes class exciting, while also being serious about learning. My favorite teacher from last year, Mrs. Lombardo, was one of those teachers. She made jokes throughout the class while also relating to the books we were reading. It made class fun because it wasn't all serious work. We had time to joke around and have fun while also learning a lot. I've found that I learn better when we aren't just taking notes and doing worksheets all the time, and I can already tell that this year in history will be a good one. It'll help me to watch videos, and do projects with my classmates. I'm interested to see all the new projects and learning techniques we are going to be doing this year.
I do agree with John Green that I have a duty to do great things with my education. We are receiving a wonderful free education and we should do something with it. Some of my goals for this year are to keep all of my grades at A level, and learn to study better. To reach these goals I will strive to pay attention in class and ask for help when I need it. I will ask my friends for study techniques that help them learn, and I will spend more time preparing for tests and quizzes.
