As the fall semester is quickly winding down, I often catch myself reflecting on the fact that I will be completing my second semester as a graduate student. It certainly still is a surreal feeling for myself. I cannot even fathom the fact that I will be able to say that I have gotten through two semesters of graduate school. The reason I bring this up is because when I first started the graduate program, I would often wonder whether I belonged in graduate school. There was a sense of self-doubt. Therefore, I had trouble believing that I was worthy of being in this program. And, as ignorant as it may sound, I attributed my acceptance into the program to luck and fate. I believe one major reason for feeling that way is due to the fact that I am the first one in my family to attend college, so I felt incapable of achieving something that had never been done in my family. Furthermore, self-reflection allows for me to reflect back on my collegiate journey and reminisce on my own personal obstacles and challenges that I have dealt with. It also allows for me to be a more effective mentor. I see myself as a mentor who is empathic and understanding of those students who are also first-generation college students who may be experiencing similar issues. Not necessarily only being able to be an effective mentor when working with first generations students, rather learning new perspectives and understanding different cultural norms that can further assist me as I continue to develop

In this essay, the articles ‘Listen to the north’ by John Ralston Saul and ‘Which ‘Native’ History? By Whom? For Whom?’ by J.R. Miller will be analyzed, specifically looking at each authors argument and his appeal to ethos, logos and pathos. In the first article, ‘Listen to the North’, author John Ralston Saul argues that current Canadian policy when it comes to our north, and the people that reside there, is out of date and based on southern ideals that hold little bearing on the realities that face northern populations. He suggests instead that the policies and regulations should be shaped by people who know the territory and it’s needs, namely people who live there. In the second
1. Question: Why does Gatto think that school is boring and childish? How does Gatto’s depiction of school compare with your own elementary and secondary school experience?
In Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average”, readers can determine from what he says that teachers play an integral role in the educations of students. When others are teaching you what to do, it becomes easier to understand; when others are not teaching you, it becomes harder to understand. You can tell how essential a teacher is to a student if you were to read Rose’s narrative and see that: students float to expectations, if teachers don’t expect anything of you they won’t help you, and how beneficial it is to have a teacher who challenges you to be better.
One of my favorite quotations is from John Wooden, former coach at UCLA; he states, “The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example.” I am a perfect fit for Marquette University’s Honors Program because I am a natural leader, a strong communicator, and a well-rounded individual.
In Crystal Eastman’s Now We Can Begin, Eastman was successfully able to orchestrate the issues facing women by conveying the significance of social, political, and economical change after women gained the right to vote. Her work was so well written in the 1920’s that it is still applicable today, long after women have gained the right to vote. Additionally, Eastman used ethos, pathos, and logos to motivate and persuade the reader. By the tone and communication of her words, Eastman was able to paint an intricate picture of the issues that women faced in the 1920’s and made the reader feel involved and called to action.
My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)

I am Codell Craddock for the Respondent. My colleague, Fiona O’Brien has effectively demonstrated why the Hybrid Rights is merely dicta on the part of Justice Scalia and I will immediately follow by defining rational basis review. Rational Basis is the standard of review used by courts when reviewing matters pertaining to the fifth and fourteenth amendment. If a law proves to be rationally related to a legitimate government interest, then it passes rational basis review. In addition, it is not the duty of the court to review the intent of the law, but merely to decide if their is a relationship between the law and a government interest.” This rationale was upheld in Swanson Swanson v. Gurthrie Independent school district when the supreme court ruled that the school district’s rule to require all students to attend public school full-time is a general law that tailors to a governmental interest. In our case, the candy ban was instituted to combat childhood obesity which is a governmental interest. Because as we saw in Barsky vs Board of Regents, the public health of a community is a vital part of a state’s police power. It is clear from this, that although the Candy Ban incidentally affects the practice of a religion, there is a clear relationship between the candy ban and public health, a legitimate government interest. Therefore, it passes the rational basis test.
12 years, 2040 days, 16,320 hours, 979,200 minutes, this is the amount of time American students spend on the first step of an education (K-12). After spending this massive amount of time in school you would think that students are leaving with a good education, right? But the sad reality of it is that American high school students graduate with a mostly irrelevant education and it is crippling them in the real world. I am a student at Denver south high school in Colorado, so I have been able to witness this issue first hand. Although Denver south has an impressive level of diversity of different ethnicities, cultures and ideals that adds a lot to the experience of a high school education, our curriculum is still far from what is should be. I 've witnessed students sitting at desks sleeping, playing on there phones or doing something completely different from what the class is doing, not saying that I do the same thing. Being a senior I was required to take a civics class, this class consists of mostly lectures that rarely interact with the class, for me this class is a study hall where I finish homework assignments and where I finished the majority of my college application I was able to do all of this while still maintaining a A, isn 't their a problem with this? The majority of teachers, and parents think that this is the student 's fault for not being motivated to learn and to resist boredom, on the contrary I
Time, said to be eternal, possess neither a beginning nor an end. Yet however there is a fixation on being able to measure it in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Trying to save time with new technology, manage time with multi-tasking activities. All in the hopes of giving meanings to the past, present and future. The past is able to been seen but not changed, today is in the present yet still unpredictable, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. If I Could Tell You by W. H. Auden is a villanelle much like others using rhyme, repetition, and meter, that revolve around the main idea of the continuity time and its unforeseeable nature.

As a young student in high school, I came to have my very first School Counselor. The school was in an urban area and there were approximately five counselors in our guidance department. I remember vividly that some students had a lack of respect of the position, claiming that their “counselor’s did not do anything”. While I cannot speak for others I was always pleased from what I expected of my counselor at the time. I was seen once or twice a semester to discuss what classes I should enroll in, received career advisement, and was given assistance in preparing for college.
