How would I use my unique talents or abilities to address a school or community issue? I as of now am the class president of my 7th grade, Hastings Middle School class. In ways to make my school better, I always attend school officer meetings, and listen to my peer’s wishes and hopes. However, one thing I have learned is the fact that you can only do so much for your school realistically. For example, as of writing this, my school has banned water bottle flipping. Water bottle flipping is something with enough work and dedication, I can change. An example to what I can’t change are school lunches. The school already has a certain food supplier, certain food-related staff, and certain menus. To try to change this would be to disrupt many parts
Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) has an established community living agreement, which directs all its members on how to carry themselves within the institution’s environment, as well as in the community. The institution’s mission is to offer higher education within a Christian community where character is modeled and transformed to express Christian faith. Students who join the institution are expected to maintain good conducts, which are guided by the Holy Spirit.
What is something I could do to impact the school in a positive way and how could I accomplish that? That is a really good question, what I would do is help tutor kids in band, preferably percussionists. Basically I would come in early or stay after school and help them learn notes and where the notes are. This could totally help band kids by boosting their grade up or even becoming first chair. They could then learn that then get so much better and be great musicians. This is a good idea that could totally work in the band room and for the positive impact.

Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university. Fast-forward to one year later, and seven Kingsland students will be graduating high school with both their High School Diploma and AA Degree thanks to the collaboration of Riverland Community College and Kingsland High School for allowing high school students to take college-level courses in high school and receive college credit for them. Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might
Consistency and dedication. Two qualities that saved me from a significant drop in my academics in my sophomore year. I was doing just fine at Cajon High School, my grades were not as good as I wanted them to be, but they were still acceptable. Overall I was very delighted to be there. However, this all changed when my parents told me that we were moving from San Bernardino to Hesperia, California and I would be transferring high schools.
I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many years ago. I cannot imagine what it must have felt like for African American kids to go school for the very first time with a bunch of white Americans who did not accept them at the time. Nine simple ordinary African American kids worked so hard to allow a chance for them to receive an education in a school that was not segregated. To think about how much bullying they went through and how much verbal and physical abuse they must have endured
I strongly believe that every failure is a learning experience that should be taken as a lesson to grow from. I previously attended a 4 year university that became too much for me; attending school full-time, working 35 hours per week while trying to figure out what it is that I really wanted out of this university experience. I ended up failing most of my classes, putting my health at risk drowned by the tremendous amount of stress and just wanted to completely give up. Looking for a fresh start I decided to leave my university, and attend Norwalk Community College. Though this decision created self-doubt in the beginning, it soon came to my realization that it was the best decision I ever made. Immersed in an environment full of positive people, I was able to grow from the experience.
What is the main thing that students look at before attending a school? Tuition fees. Everyone have a tendency of looking at the tuition fee and setting there life goal if they should spend that much just to attend school. On a Tulsa Community College site, the publisher of “Cost of Attendance” asserts that TCC offers the cheapest fee’s. As the publisher of the site, they state That the “Tuitions fees are $2,800” the “Book and Supplies are $1,560” the “Rooms are $8,694” the “Boards are $2,367” and “Transportation is $1,178”. These are by far the lowest prices to be observed for a high school senior. Tulsa Community College is really doing it’s best to help and support their students. You save a lot of money with these kinds of prices. Now turning
George W. Hewlett High School (HHS) is a comprehensive school with programs designed to meet the needs of each student. It is located in Hewlett, NY a small section of Long Island. In 1898, the New York State Legislature created Union Free School District No. 14, the Hewlett-Woodmere School District, to serve the educational needs of children residing in Hewlett, a large part of Woodmere. I moved to this district after eighth grade, where I completed high school. Transitioning from a small Catholic school in Queens to this very prestigious public school in Long Island was a seamless shift for me academically; however, not so much socially. Hewlett’s large student population, demographics, and environment were some factors that made my relocation
I’m writing for a request of a reconsideration of my final grade (EDU 600 Professor Dresser). The last couple of months have been extremely difficult on my personal life. On April 20th my husband passed away and the week before graduation my farther fell ill. He suffered with violent seizures; I slept in the hospital (in a chair next to his bed) the week prior to graduation, only to leave to attend the ceremony. Four months to the day of my husbands passing my father passed but not without complications (Two intubation, tracheostomy and peg feeding tube). As his health care proxy I was left to make extremely hard decisions for his life.
In my time here at Sublette Middle School, I have never perceived more about myself or my peers. I have gained massive amounts of intelligence, and stress, through my experience. But, I believe that all of the stress and anxiety was worth it, because it has contributed to my perspective on education. Education gives you a motive to get a good job, and not to rely on your parents or loved ones for support.
Towson University is committed to academic excellence by providing an environment that fosters appreciation for diversity and where creativity and critical thinking are honed for success. These attributes are fundamental to who I am and I believe that my communication and leadership skills will allow me to grow and contribute to the overall experience at Towson University. To support this view I am sharing a story of experiences underpinning important aspects of me that align with the values of Towson University.
The three colleges I have chosen to apply to are Hinds Community College Vicksburg-Warren Campus, Alcorn State University, and Copiah-Lincoln Community College. The reasons I have selected these three colleges are based on location, financially feasible and great reviews I have heard from others about their own personal experience or had a family member who attended one of these colleges. I have a handicap Uncle that I help take care of so I need to be close home in order to help my mother. I have talked with mother and a few friends about my interest and goals and I have their complete support in my endeavors. Also I received great reviews on these colleges from other people and this is how I chose the three schools that will meet my
On February 22, 2016, I was assigned this case for follow up. I was assigned a second case on February 24, 2016. The person involved in both investigations is Ms. Kassidy Pullara a fourteen year old T.C. Williams High School student. I contacted Doris L. Stanley (Guardian) and was granted access at school to interview Kassidy Pullara in school.
As a student at my school I have been able create a positive impact in my school and community, by being the president of my class, a freshman mentor, a member of Peer Jury, I’m also a part of Students Organised Against Racism (SOAR), and serve as a student representative for my district's Curriculum Standards for School Improvement (CSSI) Committee.
