Ideas for Essay #4

Here's a list of various ideas I could work with for essay #4.

- My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Wagner-Hall. She is the teacher that inspired me to become a teacher myself. I can write about what she did to influence my decision to pursue teaching as a career; key moment that impacted me

- Food and how it always brings people together for various occasions or just because; can talk about various moments when I met with friends again and eating out
* meeting Chicago friends at a restaurant in Chinatown
* meeting with Houston friends and eating at Bubba Gump in Times Square
* meeting new California friends and eating at Grimaldi's in Brooklyn
= desserts; courses in a meal; main courses; appetizers; breads; meats; different parts of relationships
= food is the one thing that everyone has in common
= food gives you a certain high (Jenny)
= you are what you eat (Meagan)
= whether or not you shared the food
= sit down restaurant with old friends or fast food with the "usual" people in life

- Journal filled with quotes --> pick out some of my favorite quotes; why did I put it in there? what is its importance?

as a fellow education major i think that i would love to read about your teacher. people always have influences in your lives and seeing how they influenced you and how you changed from their help and words would make a great story to read! i as well had a teacher that influenced me to become a teacher so i would be able to make comparisions to ur essay

Hey Camille, i really like the idea of food for an essay. i also think it would be really cool to segment it like a menu, appetizers, entrees, and then desserts. it would be awesome if it works out for you. either way im sure you will come up with a great essay.

I think the teacher is a great idea but i think the food one is so great! I think that you could work with food alot, it really always brings people together no matter if its a romantic, relaxed family or a business setting. You could work with so many symbols for food and really turn this into a deeper essay than one just about food.
