My First Year As A Program

Benefiting from being selected into a program like this could help me achieve the best possible SAT score that I could get. Receiving weekly help from this program, I hope can help me receive an excellent score. Sometimes trying to study for a big test like the SAT by yourself could be hard, and receiving free and professional

The twenty-five stories that are contained in the book, My First Year As A Teacher, are about real teachers and their experiences during the first year of teaching. Each story is different. Some are about memorable students while other stories are about some of the hardships that are encountered as a novice teacher. The diverse sampling of stories in this book gives insight of what kind of problems one might encounter as a teacher, yet they also describe how rewarding the profession can be. I found it rather difficult to choose only ten stories as my favorite but after much consideration and rereading I decided on the following stories because in many ways I could relate to the students as well as the teachers that are given life in these stories.

Being that I am a first-generation college student, finding guidance as I matriculate through college has been tough. I do not have any family members that have went to college, therefore I solely depend on my university for guidance in my college endeavors and my career path. Due to this, I want to be a part of the TRiO Scholars Program so that I can gain valuable advice, counseling services, and guidance to graduation. The experience that I am seeking in this program is the ability to meet and connect with other students like myself. I believe that to be able to identify with students who have come from various hardships like myself, allows for personal growth and a sense of community. I hope to gain this sense of community by participating

Adults and peers have described me as dependable, fair, honest, trustworthy, intelligent, empathetic, respectful, and friendly and I do my best to live by these characteristics. One of my main mottos is to treat others the way you want to be treated. I am by no means a perfect person and I try to accept help and criticism whenever it is offered in an effort to keep improving upon my character. I am a reliable student, sister, daughter, and friend. I believe I would learn a lot from being a member of this program because being surrounded by peers with similar moral and academic character would allow me to do even more to make my community a better place. This would be a perfect opportunity to benefit from any experiences this program has to offer me and make a positive impact on my school and

As a sociology major student, I am interested in contributing to the improvement of low-income communities and being a teacher. With this great opportunity, I would be able to learn how to teach and help out low-income communities by providing qualified courses and being a caring teacher. I hope that I can ignite their interest in studying, prepare them for University, and eventually, for society.

To me this program thought me many lesson above and beyond, challenges my knowledge skills, and developed my thinking globally. My experience in the program will be a life learn lesson because I never gave up no matter how tough it was sometimes. Because I always remember life is a journey that I walk through every day. Not so many people get such

A mentoring program has been coordinated by Millie DiStefano and high school students to mentor elementary school students each day for 30

I will be administering the McNair High School’s mentoring program under the direct supervision of Mr. Ware. The program will consist

This year I have taken the initiative and joined the Freshman mentor program. Every Thursday, I stand in front of my freshman class and try to guide them through their first year of high school successfully. I put myself out for them, telling them about my experiences, my mistakes. Not only do I tell them of my experiences, I show them others as well. This allows them realize they can exceed and become successful as well. Weekly, I engage them by asking for their opinions on certain topics , problems, and situations in school and encourage them to find ways to solve or improve those situations and problems. By allowing them to talk, express themselves, voice their opinions, I encourage them to start thinking, to develop problem solving

I think the most important take-away that Young Owls can take away from the program is the fact that it is possible for a first-generation, low-income student to go to a top-tier college or university. I feel that often students from these communities are not given the attention that they deserve when they are in high school, causing them to sometimes think that they are not capable of breaking the norm and being different from past generations. The program would give them a glimpse of what it is like to live in a college campus and would allow them to learn more about the whole college process in general. While workshops are extremely helpful, I do think that a student's ability to think that they are able to be different from what society

Luther College’s TRIO Program has helped me in tremendous amounts of ways. By being apart of their program I have had access to materials that have helped me throughout my first semester and that will be useful to me in the future. The biggest benefit the TRIO Program gave to me was access to a one on one tutor for Physiology. This was a class that I was struggling with the first half of the semester and most of my classmates who were struggling had to be in a group for their tutoring session. Therefore, I am very thankful that the TRIO Program was able to give me access to a tutor that helped me bring up my grade, which resulted into me getting into the nursing program. Other ways the TRIO Program has helped me is by providing me with some

The SSS Program will help me transition into college. College will be one of the greatest obstacle that I will overcome. I have done all that I can to get myself this far and my greatest fear is that the inexperience of college will affect me. I know few people who have been to college and most tend to have trouble themselves. I will have certain difficulties that SSS may be able to help with. I want to be part of the program because I am a person who will need additional assistance regarding all types of problems; from the transition of being away from my family to financial assistance. High school is one thing I was prepared for. I use every resource that I have without being wasteful. I know my major will be difficult to achieve, with all

How to Apply: Students may apply either through a recommendation from their home school or they may seek out this unique learning environment on their own. Each student participates in a formal interview in order to learn more about the program and give input into how this alternate approach may benefit them. With a continuous intake system, students can enter the program at different times of the year and those who have been out of school are welcome to use the program as an entry point to renew their engagement in learning. Students typically range in age from 16 to

I am interested in the soars program, because I love helping people; especially the young ones. The young ones are the future! It is the adults’ job to show them something that will help them in life. If not home then elsewhere. I never had a good influence to further or let alone someone encouraging me along the way. Therefore, I want to offer something I never had, whether it’s from encouragement to inspirational. Day by day many of us struggle to live, especially the youth. They go from peer pressure to trying to “fit in” any bad move can be life threating and then right before you know it, it’s over. I want to show the young ones that the college path is the right path no matter how they look at it. Futhermore, being part of the Soars program

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.
