Mrs. Budisch
Walking through the doors, I am about to enter my sixth grade year, by taking a right and walking down to the third room on the right. Arriving at the room where the first thing I see is Madison memorabilia.
Ever since the first day I stepped into Mrs. Budisch's class, she was on a mission. Her mission was to make me more outgoing. When I was young, I didn't talk to anyone. I was the shy kid in class and just kept to myself.
But Mrs. Budisch was the answer to my problem. She had the kind of personality where she could talk to anyone and have a good time with anyone. Even with a kid who didn't like to talk. She didn't try to make our class more social just for me either. She got everyone involved in her shenanigans by making comments that would make you laugh like "SMARTBoard more like Stupid Board" when she couldn't get her Smart Board to work. Mrs. Budisch acted like she never got out of her own sixth grade class.
Also, almost every assignment we did was a partner assignment. Mrs. Budisch wanted us to learn from each other. She wanted us to talk with one another. When I was in the class, I did not realize why we did so many speeches and presentations. I thought she was just a hard teacher. But looking back, I realize she wanted us to gain confidence when speaking in front of everyone.
When I was in Mrs. Budisch’s class in sixth grade I do not remember any information that was taught to me about actual school but I do remember the most important thing from her class. Speak your mind don’t care if you’re wrong you want people in your life and the only way to do it is to talk to them.
Now I have friends ranging from the popular kids to the nerdy kids and I talk to everyone. I now hang with a different group of friends every weekend. So thank you Mrs. Budisch for giving me the opportunity to make friends!
