Educational Autobiography A lot of people think education is just something you get in school, but in reality education comes from different places and people not just school and teachers. For example, way before I started school I was already being educated by my parents, they taught me how to eat, behave, use the bathroom, talk, and a lot of other things that help out in life. I started my educational career in John F. Kennedy Elementary. I don’t really remember my years there because I only went there for Kindergarten and 1st grade. After that, I went to Sepulveda Elementary. That was a learning experience because I had to basically be on my own for a couple of days since I was the new

Sadly to say, I didn’t really have a teacher in middle school that made a big impact in my life but I matured on my own and got my stuff together and put my work first and girls second. When I graduated 8th grade I was so excited because I had accomplished something special but I knew that wasn’t the end but in fact a beginning to an even bigger obstacle, high school. I still remember on the day of graduation my mom went alone because my dad was working and after I told her that this wasn’t the last time she would see me walking down for a diploma because in couple more years I would be doing it again. That was a big deal because she never graduated high school neither did my dad because my mom had me and they had to care for me. Then finally I made it to high school. This was the place where everything I learned up to now would help me. My 9th grade year was really good I met new friends that I still talk to, got good grades but other than that it was a normal year. When I went to 10th grade I was in AOF (Academy of Finance) or Global. At first I was a little optimistic about being in it because I didn’t really know a lot of people but I stayed because I was a little curious about the whole business stuff going on in there. It was a good decision to stay because I really enjoy all the business related work and I am looking forward to even having some sort of a business career later on in life. The teacher that really made an impact on me is the teacher for whom I
Education is defined as, “The act or process of educating or being educated, the knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process, a program of instruction of a specified kind or level, the field of study that is concerned with the pedagogy of teaching and learning, as well as an instructive or enlightening experience” (No author). People begin their education from day one till the day they die. Every day we learn new things in different ways. Whether someone is just telling us some random fact or you are sitting in a classroom being lectured by a professor. The main focus of this classical argument involves the learning that is done in the classroom or lecture hall in the schools of America today. The question arose as to
Over the years I went to a traditional school. I just transfered schools this year. I go to High Marq Environmental Charter School and it is pretty much teaching yourself and shows you hands on work instead of reading from a book. I transfered so I could get away from bullying, and to actually be tought something helpful in life and so far it's going really good.
My head is spinning from all the awesome memories from Lake Elmo Elementary, K-5th grade. I’ve been through so much during my years here. Every day I learn something new. Although times can be tough, I have my teachers and friends to help me get through it. My experience here has been wonderful. Kindergarten and 1st grade have been great, 2nd and 3rd grade were amazing, 4th grade was the best, and 5th grade was extraordinary. I think school is about the little things that change your mind and the way you see the world.
For elementary school to middle school I attended Federico Degetau a public school about twenty minutes from the area I was living at. For ninth and tenth grade I attended the Academia Adventist del Norte, which was a Christian academy. I have great memories from that wonderful academy. One of which I had my first leadership position of being the president of my gradating class (9th grade). Walking into the classroom of that academy I remember as if it were today, feeling a sense
As I look back on my path of education, I strongly believe Einstein Middle School opened my horizon into a wonderful world of a success! At Einstein Middle School I was introduced to a world of amazing teaching staff -- that allowed and encouraged me to look outside of the box! The opportunities to participate in a variety of activities, I enjoyed playing on the basketball and softball team, a contributor for the T.I.M.E.S (school newspaper),helping raise money for the Old Glory Honor Flight was a true honor. Throughout the projects I encountered at Einstein, I developed connections with business firms and learned high levels of education such as creating a research binder that includes valuable techniques such as citing sources and using
Superior Elementary school was the best school. I was so anxious to start the fourth grade. Me and my siblings would lay out our new school outfits and have everything ready for school the next day. We would also have our book bags full of supplies put together all neat in the bags put to the side. The day before schools start me and my two sisters would go get our hair done at the salon. My brothers would get a haircut.
For elementary school I went to Chocachatti Elementary School. I loved that school. That is where I began acting. In kindergarten my teacher’s name was Mrs. Ottoson. My
Public school systems need to be more sensitive to their students. Parents play the major role in determining a child’s academic outcome, but the school system needs to notice children who don’t necessarily acknowledge their gift. These children need guidance -- I believe it is the schools’ responsibility to provide it to them. I have been through a situation that makes me feel strongly about the subject. My example is an indisputable case in point.
Fifth grade was a strenuous year for me because I had to adjust to the environment. At the Key, we have classes that can include only two students, and can reach up to thirteen students. In addition, the teachers here are always there for you when you need them. On my first day, I observed that the Key was extremely friendly, and I ended up making five friends that day; they even offered me a spot on the basketball team! Adapting
What does education really mean? Experts believe that education is “the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.” In other words, this is saying that education is when you receive information only from a fixed plan and this has a higher chance of getting received from a public school or university. I do not believe this is a great way to define the word education. I believe education is not a “fixed plan” because I know family members who did not graduate from high school or even go to elementary school, and they still know many things, such as math, because of the experiences they have gone through. I also believe that education is not brought up in a school
My Junior started at Saint Paul’s High school, it was a semi-small school from what i thought. The hallways were small and always crowded when we switched classes. Everyone knew of everybody, but most probably never even talked to one another. There was so much drama, everyone talked about everybody, you just could not be yourself. The staff was not really understanding, I was constantly feeling stressed and worried. I Eventually decided to go to my sister’s school, Highlander Academy.
The past thirteen years of my school life has definitely been interesting. Within my education life, I have moved five different times and been to five different schools. Those schools were Flathead Christian School, Riverview Elementary, Doris Dickson Elementary, Ulm School, and finally Cascade High School.
I believe that education extends far beyond the classroom walls, and involves many more people than students and teachers. People should be learning wherever they go, and should continue learning long after they’ve graduated from high school or college. Education isn’t something that can be quantified with tests or report cards, but is instead something that people carry with them. It’s a survival pack for life, and some people are better equipped in certain areas than in others. People with a solid education are prepared for nearly anything, as they will be able to provide for their own physical, emotional, and aesthetic needs.
Elementary school started out as a bore but moved on to eventually being fun and enjoyable. I grew to love school and learning during my fourth and fifth grade years at Zia elementary school. My teacher taught me the value of history and American History
My education was based on rules , norms , moral and civil obligations at very young age. These are the mission, philosophy and foundation of Catholic’s education that I grow up with. I can honestly say that been educated under these principles that helped me to adopted an invaluable concept of discipline and responsibility. I can be anything more than grateful to spend twelve years of my life learning from outstanding teachers and Nuns. I enjoyed coming to school every singled day.
