This coming year will be my first year of high school and like almost everyone else, I am extremely excited. But, I also have certain expectations for my classes and school life to live up to. However, whether these expectations are achievable or unrealistic is a fact that has yet to be determined.
There are certain qualities that good teachers, students, and classes should possess. A good teachers listens to the students and promote an open thought environment, within reason of course. They also encourage students to push themselves to improve in areas that a student may be uncomfortable with. They are also passionate about what they teach and excited during class. Teachers like that inspire the students to care also, and often have better chances of keeping them engaged and awake. Good students do their best to pay attention and achieve good grades. They respect the teacher by not texting or talking during class, and are inclusive of all the students (class should be a small community of sorts). Good classes are made up of both of the above mentioned students and teachers.
What I most expect to get out of English this year is improvement in my writing skills, my annotating skills, and to learn as much as I can from the books we will be reading.
