My name is Ben Moroz. I usually go by Ben. My hometown is Avon, Ohio. I went to St. Ignatius High School. I would like teach high school Latin, hopefully at St. Ignatius High School. What makes me special is that I have a great sensor of humor and I really love to laugh. My uncle's name is on the football stadium here at John Carroll. I love football, it is by far my sport. I do not really follow the other sports that much. I do not play for an athletic team here, however I work for the football team here, I am a video assistant for the team. I also play intramural soccer here. Football and family are really important to me. This article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/80954-football-and-family-the-two-are-inseparable. This article is a good example of both. It is a good example of how the family has come together and bonded being football fans. The family would always gather together to watch the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals play. They always reminisce on their favorite football memories from the NFL and the NCAA.
What makes me comfortable in a classroom environment is knowing the other people in the class. Knowing their sense of humors and knowing about them. It makes me more comfortable because it does not feel like I am talking to a group of strangers in the classroom. It takes a lot of pressure off of me. Also, knowing that the teacher has a good sense of humor because when I mess up I want him to laugh and not be mad. Finally, being confident in the material that I am learning so in class I can answer questions and participate.
A formative memory that I have in a classroom was when I was a junior in high school. It was my English class. In the class, I actually fell asleep and was out the entire period. After the class ended, the teacher woke me up. I felt really bad because I really respected the teacher that I had. But, he told me to not worry about it and not to feel bad. He understood that outside of school people go through things and at that time my family was going through a difficult time. As a teacher, I would be worried about forming lessons everyday and keeping kids engaged in the class.
A question that I would have is: what made you want to get into education?
