Abstract
January 7, 1991, was the day I began student teaching. Rising at a
time of day (6:00 a.m.), I thought only fishermen awoke was not as difficult
as I had anticipated. My excitement level sent the blood rushing through
my veins allowing me to be alert and awake before the shower water hit me.
I was anxious to begin teaching because it is something I have been waiting
to do since the third grade. Driving to Carmel High School increased my
excitement as well as my fear: fear of failing, fear of the teachers looking
down upon me, and fear of getting a run in my stockings! Those fears were
quickly diminished as I walked into the school and learned about the
school.
A north side suburb of Indianapolis, Carmel draws the upper middle
class to its community. Carmel, a city with approximately one hundred
thousand citizens, supports ten quality educational facilities (seven
elementary schools, two junior highs, and one high school). The high
school, both junior highs and two elementaries have been awarded national
recognition for "Excellence in Education" designations. Located relatively
in the center of town, Carmel High School (CHS) educates approximately
eighteen hundred students.
