When thinking back to where I went to school, a few things arise to mind.  I remember the students rushing through crowded hallways, friends calling out to one another, and the warning of the bell. Like any other person, I can complain about a ton of things about my former schools. I rather focus on the good aspects though.  From grade school to High school I was taught in NYC schools. You would think the schools I went to were rather large, but all of mine were rather small. In high school one thing my school boasts of is the small class size, which I appreciated. I met a lot of wonderful teachers with one or two who still makes me cringe at the remembrance of their name. Being that I had quite a few outstanding teachers, I was inspired to pursue Education as a major. I always had a particular bond with my English teachers for the most part. Our shared love of literature provided a strong bond. I always knew I would major in English, but I did not plan to pursue Education until I met some very influential teachers. They inspired me and so here I am.
