Riley's Blog

1. I prefer to be called Riley
2. I'm from Kent Ohio

3. I would like to teach high school history or special education.
4. I play football here at John Carroll, and will also be working at the rec. I'm a very big sports fan, in my free time I am almost always playing or watching a different sport.
5. Sports are the physical activities with different names according to the ways of playing them. Sports are generally liked by almost all the children whether girls or boys. Generally the topic of benefits and importance of sports are argues by the people. And yes, any type of sport is deeply connected with the physical, physiological, mental and intellectual health of the person. It helps in maintaining the physical and mental fitness of the person. Playing sports on daily basis help in developing the mental skills. It also improves the psychological skills of the person playing. It brings motivation, courage, discipline and concentration. Playing sports has been made necessary in the schools for the welfare of the students. http://www.indiacelebrating.com/essay/sports/
6. To feel comfortable taking intellectual and creative risks in a college classroom I need to work in small groups, and do other things so I can get to know my classmates better.
7. When I was a freshman in high school, I was struggling to comprehend what was going on in my English class. I made it obvious that I was putting fourth my best effort, but for some reason could not preform at the same level as my classmates. One day after class my teacher offered to give up her lunch to tutor me. I was shocked that someone would make such a generous gesture. Day after day this happened, and for almost a month my teacher sacrificed her lunch to help me. This showed that it wasn't about her paycheck or enjoyment. Her biggest concern was that her students understood what was happening in her class.
8. A concern that I have facing the field of education right now is going into a community or town that generally does not support their schools. If I am going to teach and coach in a school everyday, it would be comforting knowing I had the support of the community around me.
9. One question that I have about this class is will we have more book work, or hands on work?
