Leadership is a very difficult yet gratifying role to play in Garden City high school. Throughout the school day I feel I put in a surplus of effort in everything I do from homework to being kind, but a lot of the time I feel I am not noticed and that is what I think is the biggest challenge of being a leader; not being noticed but still going on in what you do, also whenever things go wrong the leader is the first to be blamed. So if your wanting to be a leader you're gonna have to be tough and confident.

When it comes to the topic of education, most of us will readily agree that as students, we need to be dedicated learners. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of how we should be educated. Some are convinced that we need to stick with what is currently in place. From this perspective, it is completely unnecessary to do something different if the method being used works. However, others maintain that we need to change. According to this view, people need to move away from what we are comfortable and familiar with in order to be better students. In sum, then, the issue is whether we should keep how our education works the same or not.

When attending middle school, it is consider most students’ “awkward stage” of schooling, from their physical appearances and to the idea of becoming a young adult with a variety of choices to choice from such as their classes to the clubs or sports teams that they might want to join. For most middle school students, the idea of changing from a young elementary student, who was not given much variety in school to the idea of entering into middle school where they are learning how to become their own advocate by becoming a leader within and outside of the classroom. Within the middle school setting, all of these events of student’s life don’t happened over night. It takes time and the guidance of the teacher to help the student make connection

I found a passion for swimming at a young age and I've been in the sport for over a decade now. As I grew, I noticed I had a leg length discrepancy. This was due to the cancer treatment I recieved when I was 2 years old. As I grew older I saw only horror as my left leg not only grew longer in length , but also larger in circumference than my right , due to the radiation treatment. There were points on the journey where I wanted to quit as I underwent surgery after surgery. For a while I continued to swim , but I didn't care about it much until something changed , this school year ( junior year). I asked myself, "Is this what I want in life? To continue to be held back while watching others succeed?" From then on I started to overcome many

During the strategic resource exploration conducted within my work site, I have identified few strategies used in a typical school and others used in a strategic school.

Education is no longer associated with brick and mortar, cross town rivalry, school tradition or even that favorite math class. It is simply about business and survival. Education has transitioned from the days of text books and chalkboards to e-learning and energy cuts. The change in the mind-set of administrators and school boards from expanding schools to schools surviving for the next school year is the result of the changes in Indiana educational funding. Micro- analyzing budgets, student counts, capital project funds, referendums, and worry about school vouchers has become the norm for most school administrators. These changes in Indiana educational funding didn’t happen overnight; however, complacency among many school corporations and the lack of innovation and planning have left many scrambling to find a niche to stay afloat in public education and find the funding needed to many of their corporations’ educational needs.

Every teacher has a different method of teaching. The teachers that I have had in my school career have been no exception. In this way, each teacher has set an example for me, as a future teacher, to follow or not to follow as I see fit. With the examples from my teachers and in continuing my education, I am developing my own method of teaching. I plan to use a combination of teaching methods in my own classroom. My method will be an eclectic approach because I will be using components of more than one philosophy. I will be using essentialism, behaviorism, progressivism, and existentialism.
