My ideal student is one who is curious, who asks meaningful questions, and is willing to take risks in the classroom. I’m pretty sure that’s what all educators want. When I reflect on what I was like as a student, however, I recognize that I was not always that kid in high school. I know I was curious as an elementary school student, but somewhere in between the boys\u00a0and the general teenage angst, I\u00a0lost a lot of that curiosity. It was only later on\u00a0in life that I learned to ask more questions and to challenge myself to push through the challenging moments that inevitably arise when learning. I was not my ideal students but I developed into one.<\/p>\n
