No one quote stood out at me, but reading what those students really shocked me. They were so honest and said exactly what they thought. I liked how Elaine said she liked to paint, but the brushes and paint were too much money. These students come from a poor household but they say it how it is and the author writes it so bluntly, explaining the whole truth right there.
I thought the whole time I read this chapter that this is exactly what teachers need to read. Students expose themselves and say how they really feel, but reading even this first chapter that I already know how not to do on the first couple days. I know that I will be kind, polite, and treat the students like equals; that’s what they want, not a friend, but someone on the same level as them.

Good reflection. There are a few mechanics of writing errors:
--"but reading what those students really shocked me" is missing a verb
--"Students expose themselves and say how they really feel, but reading even this first chapter that I already know how not to do on the first couple days." In this sentence you have too many subjects. It's rather a run-on sentence.
--"I know that I will be kind, polite, and treat the students like equals" is not parallel in its structure
