The Classes [Semester 1]

English IV:

English IV is by far amazing!  Every morning I feel relieved that I can walk into school with a smile on my face, knowing that my first class is one I do not resent.  Ms. Cook is an exceptional teacher.  Her skill goes far beyond the fact that she teaches her students well; what makes her such a dynamic teacher is her passion for what she teaches.  She never fails to give her 100% all in what she presents to students.  To me, seeing her job as an "occupation" is inaccurate,  her job seems to be more of a privilege.  It is clear that Ms. Cook takes pride in forming a good relationships with her students and instilling in them her passion of English.  Ms. Cook has definitely helped improve my writing skills and I will miss having her as a teacher when I graduate.


Spanish II:

Mr. Ale is so cool!  He is a perfect example to any young man because he closely resembles the title, "a man of God".  Everything he talks about in worship makes loads of sense.  Mr. Ale is a pretty funny guy, not to mention his amazing Chilean accent.  He gets tripped up on words from time to time which is actually amazing because it brings a lot of personality to class time.  It's bizarre, because no matter how chopped up his English gets, I always get the point he's trying to get across.   If there was anything I would not want to change about Mr. Ale, it would be his accent, and his spiritual example to his students.

As for Spanish class, over the last 2 years of Spanish classes with Mr. Ale, I have learned the most out of all my other previous spanish classes.  Thanks Mr. Ale!


Physics:
Because she is new, I don't know much about Ms. Hinds.  However, I do know that she forces us as seniors to be independent with our work..  She never hands anything to us and forces us to dig deeper into Physics on our own. Ms. Hinds is epitome of peculiarity and abnormality.  If it makes any sense, she acts so youthful but at the same time she demands the respect she deserves.  Ms. Hinds is definitely one of the cool people you'll find at AAA.


Personal Finance:
Mrs. Abbott is one of the toughest teachers.. ughh. She's so.... TEACHY!  In her class freshman year, I thought I was going to DIE!!  I was always scared to take her classes after that. -_-

One way you can track my maturity at AAA is through her classes.  From freshman to senior year, I have transitioned from her Desktop Publishing class being my least favorite to her Personal Finance class being my favorite!  Mrs. Abbott is very descriptive in the way she teaches. She gives lots of examples in class to help us understand concepts better.  Personal Finance is such a practical class that I can certainly use in the future; and because of that, I feel very much relieved to run out of dreadful Physics and run to Personal Finance.

Even though she is a tough teacher at times, I can proudly say that Mrs. Abbott is one of many who has molded my maturation throughout my AAA years.


Choir:
AAA Choir has succeeded through many obstacles during my 3 years in a row commitment.  We've pretty much had a change in direction every year.  This year, our director is Mrs. Gayle Moore.  She has sacrificed so much for us.  She spends money out of her own pocket when she isn't obligated to, takes long trips to work with us, and does so many more "unrequired" things.  She shows a lot of love for each and every one of us individually.  You can definitely tell she enjoys doing what she does! Thanks Mrs. Gayle!
