8. INTASC DESCRIPTION  Growing up in the Detroit Public School systems it wasn’t the greatest. As long as we attended class we and at least attempted to do the work, we would pass the class. Sometimes there are teachers who you can bond with and have the real sincere relationships, and sometimes they just make it impossible. I am a firm believe that every student needs a teacher who they can trust and depend on to in whatever way possible.
