Not so positive about Appositives

 Alright,  here goes nothing on revise the paper, I've taken different piece of my paper from English 324.

While my experience and Mr. Russell may be my inspiration of why I chose teaching, it is not precisely the core of why I want to teach English. As I mentioned earlier, even when I was younger I knew that no matter what I did in my life I wanted to make a difference, and I had thought medicine was the only way I could. But I was wrong. Looking deeper at high school, I realized how much some of my teachers and ,experiences impacted my life ,and the way I think about myself and my worldview [ Participles].  From those experiences, I want to take what I have learned and return that favor as a teacher to future generations. I want to move from ‘being inspired’ to ‘being inspiring.’ I want to push students to do their best, and believe in them when nobody else will.  With this desire and mindset, I have chosen English as my subject to teach.


Yet, there was one man in particular that I found really inspired me in wanting to be in the education field; that man would be my principal Mr. Ken Russell. Mr. Russell was not like most high school principals, he was the type of man who would get up in the morning eager to set out on another adventurous day in high school with teenagers [Appositive]. Which, most can say, not a lot of adults would be enthusiastic enough to want to spend eight hours with teenagers! When he would arrive at school he was ready to do anything; converse with students, dance in an assembly in front of the school, sing a song on the loud speaker, or the best of all, memorize every student’s name [Appositive].


During my sophomore year I began my chemistry series at Washington State University, and discovered that chemistry was not my friend. As the months passed, and the classes got harder, my love for medicine began to abate from a wild boil to a mild simmer. Chemistry, agony and bore took over my joy [Adjective Out of Order], and I decided I wasn’t going to make it into medicine with this mindset. 


With my reasons and inspirations in line of why I wanted to be a teacher, I quickly jumped into classes relating to teaching, and even signed up for several hands on volunteer opportunities [Noun Absolutes].While my nerves and fears of not being prepared to teach others are still within me, I feel confident that the classes I am enrolled in this semester (especially writing classes) will help me feel ready to take responsibility for students’ education in the future.


I'm hoping most of these are right, the only part of the brush strokes I feel most confident in is the appositives, the hardest one for me is the absolutes. Are there actual definitions of the brush strokes that we can find, rather than just examples?
