Genre Reflection #1



The Bell Rings
How do we instill into the young minds
In such a short span of time?
Inspiration, motivation, dedication.
Understand the meaning of the syntax and inflections.
Going in the upward direction
Of higher learning, always concerning ourselves
With the meaning, constructing, creating, debating
The varieties of texts we are translating.
Why do we love what we do
How did the love of learning become within you?
Its not for the gratitude
A treat or a grade.
The answers lies in the progress we made.
Confidence in the words that you speak,
Literary analysis in the book we critique.
A never ending maze
Of well written essays.
The joy of a child when learning clicks
The ability to identify, analyze, and predict.
The future of tomorrow lies in the prize
Of a spark of excitement in a student’s eyes
When the concepts come together anew
And they push on to pursue
A better tomorrow for me and you
All that began with the seed of a gift
The key to learning is to always persist.
So when you ask me what I do
With only forty five minutes time of pushing through
Lessons, reading, and writing
Putting a spin on the lessons to make it exciting
And you ask me why I love to teach
It’s the accomplishment of taking a student where they dare to reach.
