Importance Of Passions In Education

I hope that you are doing well and thank you for agreeing to be my mentor. I am writing in regards to a project I’m doing for my English 2 Honors class. This project is called the Passion Project. For this project, we spent a year learning about a topic that interests us or something that we are passionate about. At the end of the year, we demonstrate the outcome of our project by presenting it to our peers.

In the passed four years I have realized my passion for learning. Though like every other high school student I love summer vacation, at end of August I am excited and ready to go back to school. I have realized the power of learning and understood that knowledge can take you where you want to go. Not only that but I understand, being a middle-class girl, how lucky I am to have the opportunity of school and the option of college. Nevertheless, it is not that easy. College is expensive where ever you go and no one has thousands of dollars lying around to pay for it all. I have been blessed to have parents who saved some money to help me get through college, yet I will still have debt. Having a passion for learning and going into a science or

While my dedication to teaching at some capacity has been a lifelong passion, I would like to explain why I want to join Teach for America by starting at the beginning of my own academic journey:

Every human has a passion in life. This passion is apart of the structure of our individuality. It leads our decisions in life and helps us overcome the largest of obstacles. In Hidden Figures, we see the theme of passion and its effect in our lives. In addition to Hidden Figures, Callings shows the same theme of passion. Ultimately, Hidden Figures and Callings show us passion is a force that drives our lives, effects our choices, and allows us to overcome the challenges we face.

A course I would like to take part in would be Asian American Communities. As an Asian American, I have grown up watching society constantly degrade my people into stereotypes and I have also learned how white American society has treated people of Asian origin throughout history. It is definitely a class that will teach me about the importance of my identity and how Asian American communities have thrived in this melting pot called America.

The camp I went to gave me experience in group work that was a bit different and not just sitting around talking. We would talk at the end of the day and de-brief, definitely when I went with my youth group but we were also surprised the feelings and emotions that came up from our experiences from the day. From my experience with the other classes, I have been in and the experience of meeting my group members and jumping into an example I am confident that this class with continue to challenge and build my skills. I hope that my confidence will help me and not inhibit me in any

Cecilia Gaposchkin wrote an article over the movement of students who pick major that interest them more, rather than a practical job. Gaposchkin believes this opens their creativity and leads them to be a more critical thinker. I agree with her agreement, on more of a personal level since it relates to me. I chose to be a art major, for the fact of my interest and strengths. My parents on the other hand, think it’s not the best idea but i have no desire to change my major to please anyone. I’m not strong in other courses, and they do not interest me one bit so i feel the motivation is already lost. MY weakness will become my straights through my major though since i won’t be forced to improve my study skill through courses i don’t want to

As a non-traditional student, I have experienced so many interests in my life, but as stated by Eleanor Roosevelt being interested in one thing will lead to new interests. I found this to be very interesting because although I had never really thought about it I found it to be true because being interested in my education has brought many new interests to me and will continue to bring many more. Some of the interests that I have gained during my academic career include things such as the masters of accountancy program, supply chain management, volunteer work, teamwork, and leadership skills to name a few of the most important that will carry on with me after graduation.

Throughout high school, I was never too sure about what I wanted my future to look like. I knew that I wanted to go to college and that I had always hoped to have the opportunity to study at West Virginia University, but I had no idea what I was going to major in. This year I was chosen to take a class called Eagle’s Nest at my school. In this class we learn about the importance of service and, a large portion of the class involves going to interact with grade school children. In the class room I am assigned to, there are five out of the nine-teen students who have speech impediments; some being more severe than others. In working with these children, I saw that I have a strong desire to work with children and people needing speech therapy.

My passion in Liberal Arts began when I was in high school when I discovered a lively interest in Art, history and literature. From there my curiosity for Art, History and literature quickly grew from an interest to a true love and passion. I found myself with a newfound eagerness to learn the hand of drawing, to study cultures and history as well as becoming a reader. My newly found passion led me to enroll at Louisiana State University to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Secondary Art Education. During one of my semesters at LSUS I enrolled in my first Art History course. Having recently obtained such a vibrant appreciation for the subject, I immediately fell in love with the Art, history and cultures we explored, particularly

Parents should be not forbid their children to read any books by Paul Langan because his books are based on real world conflicts in everyday lives. Passion and Ambition are a key factor in these books are well written for intellectual kids because it show that if you put your mind to anything you can achieve just like “The bully” and “Schooled”. So my purpose would be seeing if you want something to happen you got to make changes.

During the first summer I took Cultural Anthropology and Public Speaking. Cultural Anthropology exposed me to the diversity of human cultures around the world; Public Speaking allowed me to overcome my Achilles’ heel of speaking in front of large crowds

This course is designed to develop students’ public speaking skills. Students will be exposed to principles and practices of effective public speaking which are done through lectures, discussions, and class exercises. Most importantly, they will learn how to prepare and present effective speeches both individually, in pairs as well as in group.

     The three passions that have dictated the direction of my life have been sports, friends and family. My first passion, sports, has guided me through temptations such as drugs and dropping out of school and has kept me on the right track. My second passion, much the same as my first has helped to deflect the many temptations of life. It is my friends who have stuck with me through the ups and downs and it is to them that I owe much of what I am today. My third and strongest passion is my family, and more specifically my father. He brought me up as a single father when my mother wanted nothing to do with me; he fought to give me what he could and it is to him that I owe everything.

Almost all little girls start their primary schooling years wanting to play school and wanting to learn. At home they act like they are teaching their own classroom and leading their group of students in front of them (most likely a stuffed animal), but their imagination, creativity, and eagerness to learn is at the peak when they begin their first day of school. Ever since that day I still want to be an educator and to make a difference in this field for the better. I have always found that the most intriguing thing for me in life is conveying knowledge and skills onto other people and watching in their eyes when the switch finally clicks that they understand what I have been trying to teach them. Knowing that the impact you made for just that short amount of time in that child’s life may never be forgotten.
