I’ve faced a lot of obstacles in school. But the two major obstacles that seem to always stand out to me was not having teachers who really cared about their students and how each school district has different curriculum. Falling behind and not knowing the curriculum wasn’t a good thing and it led up to some serious consequences for me. In order for me to overcome these obstacles I had to set some goals. Which were attend tutorials and play catch up with my academics. Beginning my education in the Houston Independent School District then transferring to the Aldine independent school district showed to be dramatic difference. Elementary school in the Houston Independent School District set me up to learn the basics of education and with completion of elementary schooling , the transition into the Aldine Independent school district began for the remaining portion of my education. My mother noticed that I was behind in the curriculum due to my struggling grades and felt it would be best to hold me back in order for me to play catch up within the curriculum so it would not affect me in the long run. What we came to realize was that I was far behind than we had expected, it took me some to catch up, but definitely paid off in the end, and I saw a drastic improvement within my grades. When I began my final stretch in High School I took notice of how teachers seemed to not really care about the student and the district set the requirement plan expectations low. It seemed as if it
I have been going to school since I was four years old and, that means that I have been attending school twenty to twenty two years, including kindergarten, middle school, high school and now college. As every student, I had my ups and downs in school; I had some failures and some successes. One of the failures that affected me the most and that I will always remember was the time that I was in high school during my junior year. I failed almost all my classes and, I only passed two classes and with a C. In the other hand I had some really good success. The most recent one and the one that I am still happy about is getting my Family Development Credential. We learn from our mistakes and also from our successes, these two times in my life
On February 11th, 2016 I attended the Houston Independent School District’s (HISD) school board meeting. I received a first-hand experience of how educational decisions are made and I also witnessed all the intricacies of the process. An article entitled Understanding Your School Board states that “school boards are entrusted by the public to translate the needs of students into policies, plans, and goals that will be supported by the community” (www.tasb.org). In other words, the board and its members are responsible for making and enforcing essential decisions for the school district. They are ultimately a strong determining factor for their students’ academic success.
The career I have chosen to pursue is a Secondary School Teacher. It is a challenging and creative career to have and is a career that helps “prepare students for life after graduation. They teach academic lessons and various skills that students will need to attend college and to enter the job market” (“Bureau of Labor Statistics”). To me preparing students for the future is a huge responsibility, that I would be willing to take on. Not only is it a high school teacher’s job to help a student learn and understand important high school subjects, like math, science, english, or whatever else, but it is their job to help shape the minds of the the world’s next generation of passionate and promising young adults.

Hello everyone! My name's Ally Ward and I'm a senior at South Stanly High School. Currently I'm taking CCP courses with SCC, so that I'll have two years under my belt when I start college.

Mr. Riff, esteemed teachers and staffs, dearest parents and grandparents, guests, fellow graduates, relatives, friends, ladies, and gentlemen, good morning!
“Say cheese!” the photographer shouted. I have always dreaded those words because in “saying cheese” it would mean to show my twisted teethe. I am Olga Monic Gamboa a senior at United South High School, vice president of National Honor Society, vice president of LULAC, and officer for many other clubs. I am very active in my community and my school, which lead me to be embarrassed to show my teeth. Every time I speak at a meeting or a presentation I am afraid they are just staring at my teeth or falling asleep with the non facial expression I put on. I can’t smile while knowing that a tooth is to forward and a tooth is hidden in the back. In a year I will be going to college and I need to look professional and be confident in my smile. A smile
Hello, I am Sean Hart, I am a 12th grade student here on behalf of Legacy High School.

Welcome all to the graduation of the Hadley 8th grade class this year. I want to begin by saying a big congrats to the graduating students of 2017 for making it through all the bumps and swerves in this winding road we have had in these past three years. As I begin, the thoughts run through my head of how our time here had one terrifying beginning, memorable end, and a middle consisting of lots of late nights, rushed mornings,different kinds of distractions, and tests many forgot to study for. Every year I spent here I gained a little more independence, and became all that much closer to who I am today. So today we are celebrating us, and all the milestones we have achieved in our adventure here at Hadley Jr. High.
Tri-County School Corporation, centered in Wolcott, IN, is exactly what one would expect from a small, rural school. Class sizes are small, students know the names of everyone in their grade level, and it’s not uncommon for teachers to also teach the nieces, nephews, and even children of their former students. And, like most small schools in Indiana, Tri-County is entrenched in the crisis that is the Hoosier education system.
Who here has attended Vaughn since elementary school? Do you remember how every morning on student would lead the pledge of allegiance to the entire school. Well, I was that kid once - I didn 't want to do it, but my class nominated me so I have no choice. That day, I came late to school that day, and I didn 't even eat breakfast; I just ran through the cafeteria and went into a full-on Sprint toward the stage. There were already the other two kids holding the flag of the United States when I got on the stage and Mr. Palma hands me the mic and says, “ Don 't be nervous.” (As if that is really going to calm me down.) I walk up to the center of the stage and say, “ Put your right hand over your heart,” and everyone proceeds to do so. My
