Common School Research Paper

It is not difficult to figure out what the liberal arts are; all it took was a simple google search and the definition was brought up instantly. Liberal arts are academic subjects such as literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical sciences as distinct from professional and technical subjects. I am not majoring in any of these subjects and I hardly have any classes such as these in my schedule so I decided I needed to look up definitions that actually pertain to me. The definition of a liberal arts college was just as easy to find as the last one. A liberal arts college is a college with an emphasis on undergraduate study in the liberal arts and sciences. A liberal arts college aims to impart a broad general knowledge and

Life comes with swift transitions and I have come finally meet mines. The time has come to my 12th grade year and I have to leave my family alone and start planning for a bigger picture .I’m now excited to say that it's my time to start applying to some of the best colleges around the country.I’ve made great progress from my 9th grade year up to my 12th grade year. I started off making bad decisions now to being focused in all of my classes.I finally realized that I couldn’t get in college doing the the things I was doing ,so I made myself active with sports because that was a big drive to how I could do better.

When I first heard of liberal arts schools, I thought of institutions like Julliard where students who want to study the arts attend. I pictured students painting on canvas, dancers leaping across stage, and musicians composing beautiful music. Since beginning my college visitations, I have come to realize that is far from what you will see at liberal arts colleges such as Loras. A liberal arts education not only touches on the arts but also the areas of history, science, math, language, and several more. Throughout my first thirteen years of schooling, I have taken classes covering many different subjects. Liberal arts schools continue to encourage one to learn about topics in various areas of study in order to obtain a more rounded education.

Hi. I am Diamond Johnson. I’ve been attending HSS-High since seventh grade and now I am currently a junior. I think I am a good role model at Harmony because I’m a very outgoing person and I also play sports, so I show others that you can be an athlete and also be on A/B honor roll. I am the captain of the basketball team because I have good sportsmanship and Leadership skills. I always encourage my other teammates or help them in an area they aren’t good in instead of judging them. I don’t just associate with people in my grade level I am opened to talking to anybody just so that they know that they will always have a friend to talk to. At Harmony we the students tend to create our group of friends based on race but I try to hang out with everybody just to show them that Harmony is a diverse school for a reason, so use that opportunity to learn about each other. I also believe that being a role model is not just temporary because someone is always watching your every move to learn from you. Therefore, they cannot learn from bad examples so you should always do the right things behind closed doors.

Business is a growing major and currently the most common major among college students. Being a business major at a liberal arts college is underappreciated amongst the students because they see courses as unnecessary towards their future careers. The question of “what a college education should provide” arises. Education is important but it is also important to learn how survive in the world and contribute to it. Business majors are growing meaning the requirements in a business are growing as well. It takes more than knowing how to do your job in todays society, you have to be able to stand out. The world is challenging and simply knowing the basis of business no longer cuts it because education is tied together as one. Furthermore, a liberal arts education provides the necessities needed for a successful year.

I am a student who has a passion for helping others. I have been a part of a couple of clubs and organizations in and out of school which focus on helping out the community. There is one in which I have been involved in for four years. I started of as a club member and in the beginning of my third year I was chosen to be the president. Through this club I have had the opportunity to lead a group of students through a pathway of success. I have been able to encourage members to pursue a higher education, and help out their community. We have all been able to work together in several occasions. I have been able to get them to participate in soup kitchens, concession stands during football games, and helping out in the elderly home. Last year our club was able to collaborate with the autism club, and together we helped create a garden.

During the summer between my sophomore and junior years, I was one of four students selected to represent my school and council at the National Josten’s Renaissance conference in Orlando Florida. My fellow students and I learned a great deal about other schools around the country and we wanted to take some ideas back to our school to implement them. One of our key ideas focused on recognizing various students at our high school that constantly achieve remarkable feats, but largely go unnoticed by the school as a whole. Being vice president of my class, I took charge of this initiative and designed a solution to the problem. I advocated that we replace our typical, mundane, class meetings with class rallies, a pep rally type atmosphere for more

Let’s start with what exactly the liberal arts are “The term comes from the medieval concept of the artes liberalis, the seven liberal arts that were appropriate for a free man to pursue, verses artes illiberalis or artes mechanicae which were pursued for economic purposes and involved vocational and practical arts, which prepared young persons to become weavers, blacksmiths, farmers, hunters, navigators, soldiers, or doctors. The seven liberal arts included three basic arts focused on developing a felicity with language: grammar, rhetoric, and dialectic. There were four advanced mathematical-physical arts: geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy, who were known as quadrivim” (Roche, 5).

Is it still cool to be in school? What if, I told you that we are going to figure out how to create a balance of working a job, maintaining an active social life with friends or family, and working towards a bachelor’s degree? To me, it sounds demanding and stressful. However, I believe there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Finding the right structure is an important aspect of achieving your goals without causing unpredictable dilemmas. I’ve managed to work my way through the challenges that everyday life can create for you. I have found a sense of organization with getting school work accomplished successfully, and you will too. With three simple steps this guide will help you prioritize, set up goals for yourself, and maintain

This year in 8th grade, my fellow students and I were taught several skills in Geometry, Language Arts, Science, P.E, and History. Many of these skills I have learned in these classes can benefit me in my high school years. From these skills, the first skill I believe will help immensely in high school is time management. The second skill that I've found beneficial is the ability to think and act quickly. Finally, the third and most important skill is the ability to concentrate on assignments. These three skills will definitely help make high school be less difficult and much more comfortable.

My most vivid memory of intermediate school, was walking on the red carpet on the first day of fifth grade. At the time, I felt so grown up and mature. Come to realize, I was only ten years old. On the first day, I was so nervous to meet all of the new people that were coming from other elementary schools. Looking back, I shouldn't have been so nervous because I’m sure all of the other kids felt the same way. During those years, I met countless friends including Jayden, Makayla, Ali, Ally, Emily and so many others that I would still consider my friends.

When the end of summer approached, I believed I was prepared of what 7th grade was going to throw at me. I was wrong. I had tons of homework. School overall was stressful. The best way to solve this problem was to not procrastinate, it was my main goal this school year. Reducing the amount of time playing on electronics would not only make my school life less stressful, but making my parents happier about me not playing as much as I usually do.

When I think of the word academy, I think of bettering your education on a path that better prepares you for your specific career interests. At an academy that is exactly what I am looking for. My goals for attending an academy, is to take classes that challenge my interests and to come out of the experience, better prepared for the life, I specifically, want to live. I am not looking for your average high school experience. My hope is that the academy system will set me on a path filled with, yes, the average school requirements, but also classes and extracurricular activities that will better my learning in a field that I am actually interested in. When I come out of the academy , my goals are to come out a changed person, to be able to

My 8th-grade year was mediocre. I had some challenges in 8th grade. Not only, I had some pleasant times. My 8th-grade year wasn’t my best year, but it wasn’t the worst. I had some struggles with some teacher and friends. But, through all the drama it was an average year.

My elementary years can be described in one word, melodramatic. I went to a small private school names Victory in the Perryton Texas. My class had a around 15 kids in it and it only got smaller with each year. In preschool and kindergarten, my mom decided to “homeschool” me. In other words i didn't really learn anything, i just had more time to be a kid. I loved and when it came time to starting first grade i was actually very excited to be in school. Unfortunately i was quite a bit behind. I didn't know how to read, spell anything, and i was so much slower than the rest of my class when it came to completing my assignments. The whole i was one of the last kids in the class to complete all of the assignments. Then one day my principal, who was good friends
