My Life Of A Fine Education

My education started not long after I was born in 1989. I attended Ruth Washburn Nursery School, for 3 years, but I don’t have a lot of memories of what I learned. 3 things stand out to me. This was a place of great fun!! I learned how to love running. I could run for ages. Secondly the plecostomus’s were the coolest fish in the fish tank! Lastly I remember the song that goes, “Love is something if you give it away, give it away, give it away.”

When we were growing up my mother made sure my siblings and I were always taken care of. She would sacrifice her own happiness for ours.

In life, choosing is never easy. Choosing what to wear, eat, where to go, and how to live. Choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life, is as easy as walking to the moon and back. There is no brochure that gives you a sure set of bullet points as to what you would like to do, instead, we are meant to simply discover what we would enjoy doing most. There are over a million different careers, yet I’ve chosen a profession in Dental Hygiene. Believe it or not, my first words were not in fact, “I want to become a dental hygienist”.

After you start a family and have a stable career to support your family with, you can begin to look for the next level of the hierarchy.

My first step includes doing research on the profession I want to pursue. In my research, I’ve learned that this profession has rapidly been growing for the past few years. You can get your degree in a year or two depending on the type of degree you want. It is also a cross-trained profession, which means that you are trained in more than one skill. That means that there are more job options that you can get. It can also look very good on your resume. I have also researched the pay for the profession. The average pay rate is $14.5, which is decent to me. Now that I’ve researched the profession I can move on to the next step in reaching my goal.

During the 1980’s, many Americans were incredibly materialistic; they were only concerned with the “things” in life, not with life as it was. In the musical world, Madonna was becoming popular. One of her greatest hits, Material Girl,

In today's century it is essential to have an education to enhance your job and provide a comfortable future for your family. After having children we realize that education is significant in order to succeed. While working takes a lot of time away from family, adding school to your schedule makes it difficult to spend quality time with your children. The problem most people face with balancing school, work, and family is being an excellent student, an outstanding employee, and a caring parent all in the same day.

Growing up, my mom was a big impact on my life. Two days of the week she was a dental assistant. The other days she was just my mom. When she came home on the days after work she would smell minty and fresh from working in her dental office. I feel blessed to have been able to have my mother as a constant influence in my life. She showed me that I could be as mother as well as have a good job; I did not need to pick one or the other. My mother taught me how to stand up for myself and how not to be a pushover. One of the most important things I think that my mother taught me was how to be compassionate. Even as a young child when I heard about some of the terrible things that had happened in the world, my heart broke for those

When you graduate high school most of us look forward to going to college and starting a new chapter in our lives. There are many choices of fields to choose from when we enter college. Some of us know right from the start what we want to do and some of us don’t. I have had many ideas of what I might want to pick as my career for the rest of my life. It first started out with wanting to be a teacher, and then it changed to a veterinary technician, and finally with lots of thought and research I have decided I want to be a Respiratory Therapist.

My great-grandma, Jeanette, babysat my siblings and me until we were around the age of four. She worked as a midwife. As a midwife she was on constantly on call in case anyone went into labor in the middle of the night. We moved out of the house from my grandfather until he had a wagon accident where he broke both his ribs and his arms and came back to stay with us, until he passed away at the age of eighty-one.

My grandma had survived a hard life, and yet managed to raise four responsible, well-educated, and successful children. All this she did while working as a respected psychiatric nurse and a state mental health board member. Although she had had and was still overcoming trials in life, I always knew she would be there and cared about me and my life. As my brother and I grew older and were unable to visit my grandparents as often as we

After a fight with breast cancer, Madonna’s mother passed away on December 1, 1963; Madonna was only five years old. With no maternal guidance to help her through adolescence, Madonna became a free spirit and began to rebel against the conventions of everyday society. One of her chief oppressors (in her eyes) was her father’s new wife, Joan Gustafson. Madonna contested her stepmother’s authority at every level and did everything in her power to avoid becoming a slave to chores and housework; Madonna even went so far as to call herself “the quintessential Cinderella.” She felt that in order to distinguish herself from the ordinary world around her, she needed to transcend tradition. Madonna took this time in her childhood to begin wearing scandalous clothing, regularly attending urban nightclubs, and rejecting her conservative upbringing. However, Madonna’s drive for perfection kept her from becoming a degenerate; she remained a straight-A student, cheerleader, and talented dancer. She excelled so greatly in her studies that she graduated high school one semester early. Her achievements even earned her a full scholarship to the University of Michigan dance program (“Madonna Biography” 1).

When I was a kid, school for me was waking up early in the morning. I also have to study a lot in school, then after school I have to do homework. I remember my first day at school. My mom and dad, both were so happy and prepared but I was so nervous and cheerless. I didn’t like to wake up early in the morning for school , but as time flew by I started loving school which made me wake up with energy instead of tiredness. I began to enjoy the school as I made new friends and I got to know how it is like when you meet people out of your neighborhood. With my friends I had lunch together and study together. I started to understand what the purpose of the education system. Based on what I understood I think the purpose of education is really aimed at helping students get to the point where they can learn to be on their own. In this journey of education I had a lot of positive and few negative experiences,but the negative experiences also helped me growing. Positive experiences are my teachers helping me improve, and I improved more when I moved to the United States.

My grandmother has a very softhearted voice that I still hear telling me goodnight when we were little. She would wait with us until we fell deep asleep. And even as we got older she would gather us around the kitchen table and let us watch the old fashioned ice cream maker churn the best vanilla ice cream and then she would load it up with chocolate chips, and our parents would always say, "That's too many.", and grandmother just let us keep piling them on. My grandmother is the kind, gentle, loving, caring grandmother that I wish my children could experience today.

Of course you always hear people talking about how great their grandmother or grandfather are, I too feel the same way about my grandmother. I see her as more than my grandmother, she’s a role mole, my best friend and also like a sister when I need her. She’s always been a loving and caring person. Not for only her friends and family, but also strangers. People she has never met a day in her life she would be willing to go give her last too. You don’t find to many people like her too often.
