Name Game

     You may be named after a relative, maybe after a show character, a book, someone famous, some historical person, the options are endless. In my case it was as simple as liking the name. As my mom tells it she was having a hard time choosing a name there were so many possibilities. Then one day while she was out shopping she heard a mom call her daughter over "Carolina get over here" she said my mom thought about t and really liked the name. She tried to with my dads last name to see how it would sound "Carolina Limon... hmmm not bad she thought" Later when my dad got home she told him the name and he thought about it a for a little and agreed that they both liked it. They both were both relieved that they had finally agreed to a name.

Superpowers

I have always imagined having superpowers and I have always thought of so many that I would want to have. But seeing as the I'm restrained by the prompt to have a power that I get to use only in the classroom the one I can think that would probably come the most handy would be:

Mind reading       

The reason I would choose such a typical super power is because it's the one that would come in very useful in the classroom. For example, if I do not understand something I'm reading or doing I could just read other classmates minds to see how they're doing it or what they think of it. Also, when the teacher walks around looking at students work they probably think about the answers or the correct way to interpret/ do something and I would be able to hear that and understand how to do it better.

Students and Metaphors

 There are many ways to compare students to other things. Personally, I think they can be like on of my favorite things.

Students are like: Soccer 

The players especially the forwards would be the students they try hard and work together sometimes stepping out of their comfort zone to try and make a goal.

The ball is the objectives you have what you want to achieve you never let go of the ball you always have your eyes on it and if it's taken away you do everything to get it back. With your objectives you have things that try to mae you change your mind but you have to stick with them to make it.

The goalie is any obstacle trying to keep you from being successful

The goal would be your achievement of your  objective.
