A day in the life of Ms. Barrett

by Isaiah P.

Ms.Barrett is an Airport High school teacher and she teaches entrepreneurship and business law. She's a very good and fun teacher to be around and I will be telling you how it would be to be in the life of Ms. Barrett.

When Ms.Barrett wakes up she stretches for about 30 minutes. Then she makes sure her kids are ready in the morning before they drive off to school. After her kids leave the house she starts her morning routine by brushing her teeth, washing her face, and then taking a shower. After she does her morning routine she eats a mix of fruits for her breakfast and then proceeds to get ready to go to her morning physical therapy for her torn acl in her right leg. After she leaves physical therapy she heads her way to the school to start her school day.

When she arrives at the school she sets up her laptop and turns on her Promethean board. She then gets her lesson ready for her 1st block class and waits for them to enter the class. Her 1st block is Business law, her 3rd is business law, and her last is Entrepreneurship.

After her 1st block is done she goes into her planning period which is her 2nd block and throughout her planning period she handles grades and responds to emails containing her work. After the 2nd block is done its nest time and depending on what day it is certain classes come back to her class until 1st lunch. When it's time for the 1st lunch she's either on lunch duty or eating her lunch in her classroom preparing her lesson for her 3rd block. When lunch is over her 3rd block comes and she starts her lesson and hands work out like usual.

After her 3rd block it's time for her 4th block which means it's almost the end of the day and she's almost on the way home. After her 4th block is over she stays after school unt 5:30 because she's the leader of the Pretty Eagles dance team and they go over routines and dances for their upcoming dance events.

After her practice is over, she sometimes goes to the store and gets supplies for her to cook. After she leaves the store she goes home.

When she gets home she starts to prepare her meal. “Fried chicken and mash potatoes are one of my favorite meals to cook.” Ms.Barrett prepares her meal while she listens to some old R&B music to get in her “groove.” After she prepares the meal she cooks it then fixes plates for her two children and herself.

When they are done eating they all go separate ways and start their night routines. Ms. Barrett takes a shower, brushes her teeth and washes her face, gets into her night clothes and lays down. She watches a little tv before she goes to bed. Since she was a kid one of her favorite tv shows was Rocky. She liked it because as she says “Rocky never gave up and got through his struggles and showed strength” which kind of motivated her to do better. She also likes BMF and Snowfall because “they are a black-powered show and shows the struggles and things they had to go through growing up. It's also interesting because it's also a drug show.”

Lastly, Ms. Barrett falls asleep and starts it all over again.
