Arts High School Experience
The experience I had visiting Arts High School in Newark was definitely a positive one. All the professionals seemed to really love working there, and as a future educator myself I can only wish to be as happy as they are in my future place of work.I also enjoyed visiting this school because it deals hands on with my own personal concentration in the arts. To see that places like this really do exist and that my dream of teaching dance isn't limited to a dance studio was very reassuring and exciting. The children who attend Arts High School are the type of children that I really admire and would feel privileged to work with. They are focused, dedicated and truly think outside the box. They have creative minds and as an artist myself I feel like I understand and could relate to these children because I think the way that they think. Visiting this high school has made me very eager to get right out into the field and start working with children. I can really see now more then ever, that as a future educator I would have a hand in shaping the minds of children and helping them discover who it is they are going to become. I loved Arts High School and can't wait to go back to do my observations.

One of the things that you focused on was the fact that all the professionals seemed to really love working there. This was one thing I noticed as well. One teacher told me that he wouldn't trade his job for any other. The students also seemed to really enjoy their school and there was a sense of pride that I gathered from the students.
I enjoyed my visit at Arts High School because of the atmosphere. Both the students and staff seemed happy to be there. The teachers respectful to me when I spoke to them. Even though I'm a physical education major, I can relate to these students because I have a musical background. This has made me more determined, in conjunction of a couple of other things that happened over this semester, to become a teacher. I think that teachers, regardless of what subject they teach, have a huge impact on students.
