Katerina's Response To Academics

In addition to tutoring and mentoring the children in the community, Jacelyn also holds the position as Volunteer and Outreach Coordination, requiring her recruit, organize, and oversee student volunteers in the project. In addition, due to financial constraints in her family, Jacelyn also has an off-campus job that requires her to work many late nights and weekends. This ability to manage two jobs, a research assistant position, and consistent participation in community service while maintaining her exceptional GPA at an academically rigorous institution like UCLA demonstrates her admirable character, work ethic, and time management, valuable skills found in few students.

Katherina may be a shrew, but Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew does not truly show a study of how a selfish, spoilt individual is made to conform to society’s expectations, or be tamed into a ‘proper’ woman. At the end of the play, Katherina is not, necessarily, tamed - she just realizes what she must to do in order to get the things she wants. Two main examples of her submitting to Petruchio in order to achieve her desires are in Act 4, scene 5, (the sun versus moon scene) as well as Act 5, scene 2 (the kiss me kate scene and her final monologue).

Ms. Bandsma is a type of student one notices from the start. She is quick to participate and I could count on her to respond whenever I needed class feedback. She also did not hesitate to offer help to students on her table, and reiterate the merits of completing their work if they fell behind. Her work was always timely and complete, and she promptly asked questions to make sure she understood concepts.

As solely a student, I will tell you that Lauren is an amazing student. In a classroom environment, Lauren is knowledgeable about many subjects, participates often, and always seeks to learn more. Specifically in social studies, Lauren has an extensive knowledge of international, historical, dates; events; and people. With every book that we read in English, Lauren is able to find metaphors that I never would have noticed.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Natalie. She is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, Natalie is an intellectually impressive and ambitious student who is always ready to further herself in any program. Along with her undeniable talent, Natalie has always been an absolute joy to work with.

After observing Katy for an hour, I came to appreciate how much children enjoy almost everything that they do. I admire how Katy always had a smile on her face and how much energy she had. It now makes sense to me why children make so many people happy. She seems to be in the normal phases for learning based on what I’ve

Katie Hendrickson 's “Student Resistance to Schooling: Disconnections With Education in Rural Appalachia” is a scholarly article within The High School Journal, a publication for those employed in a secondary educational facility. Being founded in 1918, it is one of the oldest peer-reviewed academic journals in education. The journal is managed by students and faculty in the School of Education at Chapel Hill and is published quarterly by the University of North Carolina Press – it 's both a current and scholarly resource. Hendrickson has quite a storied history in the teaching field as well, giving credence to her article. She has been published in another peer-reviewed academic journal, Education in a Democracy, as well as presented her finding on co-teaching at the Ohio Confederation of Teacher Education Organizations conferences. But the list of accolades doesn 't end there: she was awarded the Mabel Olson Bell Award for Outstanding Mentor Teachers from the Patton College of Education at Ohio University, in addition to awards for STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Engineering) teaching. Hendrickson, along with two of her colleagues, accepted the Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education in 2013, and in 2012, she received a Global Teacher Fellowship from the Rural School and Community Trust. This gave her the opportunity to travel and create place-based lessons for classrooms drawing from her experience,

Madeline is everything I strive to be in so many ways. My senior year of high school I had an online class at the same time as Madeline and every day she got her work done in a very timely and efficient manner, which is very difficult to do in an online class since you typically do not meet with your teacher face to face. She is an extremely smart young woman and I have seen her succeed in every subject without fail.

Academically, Ms. Wilson has stood out as a student that values her education. Her hard work and dedication to assist others in need

One of the most inspiring, amazing, and smart people that I know of is Liz Murray. Liz’s parents were desperate drug addicts. They were unemployed so any money that they did get, was mostly used for drugs. This caused more hardships in Liz’s and her sister, Lisa’s life. Since most of the money they had went to drugs, Liz and her family were practically very poor. Liz wasn’t motivated to go to school. She felt embarrassed and didn’t want to be seen, because of her dirty appearance. However, there was something special about Liz. She wouldn’t go to school for days on end, and then pass all her tests. Eventually, Liz decided that she wanted to become a real student. She went to high school and passed with flying

Fabiola was a student in my sixth grade class during the 2013-14 school year at Roosevelt Elementary School. She has a great attitude and a positive spirit. Fabiola maintained good grades, worked very hard each day, and enjoyed contributing to classroom discussions. Fabiola would ask for help when needed and always seemed to have a pleasant outlook on things. She is not afraid to “speak up” or to share in front of a group of peers. I think these are positive traits that will help her in the future.

Donnisa Edmonds is one of those students who you want to work for you …period. She is not a risk, she is not a student take a chance on, she is a student who will bring character to your university. I first met in my Honors Biology class during her sophomore year and her ability to adapt to the challenge of her first honors science class was nothing to question. She is dedicated, diligent and has the know how to reach her goals. Donnisa is a student who takes charge not only in labs, but group study sessions and extra curricular activities. She know how to lead and when to follow. Her constant attention to detail is what I remember most about her efforts in Honors Biology. When creating study guides for review they were not only detailed

She is a born leader, and works excellently in groups and frequently pushes her groups to reach their goals. Furthermore, I have rarely seen a student more respectful to both teachers and her peers than Georgia. She is a very social person, and is both outgoing and funny. Georgia is also exceptionally creative. She is always pushing herself to look at challenges and assignments in a different way and it always pays off, especially when writing essays and in other written assignments, as she is an amazing writer. The characteristics that Georgia has demonstrated throughout her entire high school career have prepared her for the upcoming challenge of collegiate academics. I am certain she will approach these new opportunities with the same persistency and drive for excellence that she applies to all of her endeavors, especially as she challenges herself with the new learning experiences and community that are available in the college setting. To conclude, Georgia is an extraordinary student and person, and I recommend her to this school with my highest regards. Sincerely, Georgia Beckmann Head of College Counselling Prospect Hill Academy Charter School Collegiate

Kawauna Lerna used perseverance, passion, and strength to achieve success in challenging classes through collage. Firstly, Kawauna used perseverance to muster difficult biology words. For example, Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed, points out that when she did not understand challenging words she put a red star beside them and spoke with her professor after class for help. As you can see, by getting extra help and not quitting, Kawauna persevered. Secondly, Kawauna was very passionate about her studies, she was the only person in her family that attended college. For instance, Tough shares that in biology all of the African Americans wanted to sit in the back of the classroom, but Kawauna wanted to sit at the front of the class.
