Daily Journal: a Day in My Life

I kept a five-day journal and it was not interesting at all. I never really had any stressful days. I usually don’t have very many stressful days. I always say it is because I am a very calm person and go with the flow. I worked three of those days and everything was smoothly. A couple weeks ago this would have been a great assignment because I was so overwhelmed with work, school and take care of my three year- old grandson. I noticed that if anybody bothered me my stress level went higher and higher. What I ended up doing the last couple days of that week before my assignments where do each day I set my schedule to just work on school work for four hours and no more and I chose not to work on those days. By doing that the stress level went

As a young boy, I never truly put much into school. I put as little thought about college as well, but it took one moment that made me want the desire to succeed in my life and make something of it. Working for 12 straight hours in the middle of the hot sun, making minimum wage wasn't how I wanted to live. Going to multiple jobs and having to work all weekend, even during school occasionally was extremely difficult. This just gave me that extra drive to be more superior than anyone else. Yet, I never gave up and still pushed to be the best student I could be. Staying up late nights just to finish homework so I was able to make the best grade in class. The simplest moments in life made we want to be the best

School is a institution to teach and educate children. It is one of the most important parts of your lives for many reasons. Also, it leads to your future career, lifestyle, home, money, and much more. Although school might not be interesting to all, it is definitely helpful to people for many reasons. School can make you learn new things, experience new opportunities, and achieve goals. Without school, the world would not be a efficient as it is, there would not be new inventions, or ideas. This is why, schools should be more than its average days, 180. Which is why, school should be year round, still having breaks in between due to the fact that it can cause many amazing things.

School was a place where I could leave the dysfunctional atmosphere I live in and nothing took my mind off of my hardships like sports, music, and community service. To avoid the life I lived when school was over, I would learn new instruments and play different sports. I even began to participate in restoring Seattle parks every Saturday with a group called Earth Corps through a non-profit organization called Global Visionaries. I learned leadership skills and met people that changed my life for the better. I realized that there were many things I could do that would allow me to learn and give back to the community and at the same time allow me to escape from my

Schools are the places where the children shape their personalities and behavior.A School is also a special place where small kids and even teenagers meet people from all different situations, backgrounds and all walks of life.A school is a place where kids get to determine their future and what they want to do in life.Kids will be thrown into a mix of people they don't know and have to work together.This is good for them because it sets them up for the future when they have to deal with people from the real world.

Time and time again I've found myself declaring education as the central pillar of my growth and development, that of which has been consistent throughout my life and educational career. From the age of 8 I've attributed school and learning as a way to escape the outside world, both willingly, and as an involuntary coping mechanism; school was a refuge, a safe place where I could build healthy relationships and escape my worries. I felt valued by my teachers, and I was given opportunities to contribute to a community, and for the first time felt autonomous- and that I could control my future.

An average person spends about 9% of his or her life in school. That’s roughly 14,000 hours in school from the time you enter kindergarten, until the time you graduate high school. Growing up we almost always swear that going to school is the worst possible thing our parents could ever make us do. We thought of it as a punishment rather than a privilege. I had these same emotions majority of my school career, until I met the one teacher who made me excited to come to school every day.

When I was growing up, my parents expected me to do great in school and they taught me that getting a good education was your ticket to living a nice and successful life and career, and in order to do well in school I would have to study and get good grades. I actually enjoyed school for the most part. I was that kind of person that actually studied and did homework to the best of my ability. Getting a good education is very important to get a successful career and life.

Reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s essay, My Two Live, I got that the author, as an Indian-American, tried to define herself throughout her whole life. The changing of her feeling for her identity and the death of her parents and her bicultural experience changed her feeling for her identity from humiliating to confusing to accepting to cherishing. Lahiri wanted convey us that the bicultural things can be seen as a shifting equation and she used “one plus one” for instances. Basically, I agree with her notion. However, in my opinion, the result of the equation is not just zero or two. It should be equal three or even bigger, when you really understand your great nation, United State of America.

I still maintain to this day that school is a place to learn languages, learn maths, learn history, and, most importantly, learn how to learn. It is not a place to learn conformity or regulations that have no bearing on society, or becoming a drone who automatically accepts everything an authority figure tells them.

In my opinion, it was a giant daycare. I viewed school as an extended time period to play with my friends. Now that all of my friends were gone, school had lost its purpose. But like a knight in shining pink armor, Ms. Furry came to my rescue. She taught me that the real reason why I should go to school was so I could be equipped with the skills I needed to be successful in life. Education is the fundamental step in developing knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power is the ability to do something and influence others. Therefore, the power of education enables me to be an influential leader of my peers. Because of this sudden realization, I was more eager to learn and began to be more involved in extracurricular

After our family has stop growing, we moved three times until finally we found our perfect home. Growing up with a mother who works in school, my sisters and I had a taste what would school be like at a very young age. I remember going to my school running around and going into teacher class rooms and playing with their toys. I also remember once I was able to actually attend pre-k at the age of three! After that experience I was so ready for school! As a child I wasn’t say much my mom tells me

Students may not like going to school but, it is for the best. By going to school students can get an education and get a job or go to college and

When I was a kid, school for me was waking up early in the morning. I also have to study a lot in school, then after school I have to do homework. I remember my first day at school. My mom and dad, both were so happy and prepared but I was so nervous and cheerless. I didn’t like to wake up early in the morning for school , but as time flew by I started loving school which made me wake up with energy instead of tiredness. I began to enjoy the school as I made new friends and I got to know how it is like when you meet people out of your neighborhood. With my friends I had lunch together and study together. I started to understand what the purpose of the education system. Based on what I understood I think the purpose of education is really aimed at helping students get to the point where they can learn to be on their own. In this journey of education I had a lot of positive and few negative experiences,but the negative experiences also helped me growing. Positive experiences are my teachers helping me improve, and I improved more when I moved to the United States.

School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one-third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now.
