My Passion In Education

My passion out of hundreds of careers in the U.S is to pursue a career in Nursing. I choose this career because l believes in the change that Nurse brings to help make the world a better place. To fully comprehend the changes Nurses are creating in our society today and why I ‘am passionate about been part of the revolution, one has to look at the role they play in enhancing healthcare service. Nurses play an essential role as the first line of defense for health wellness and information. In addition steeping into someone’s life at their lowest moment and making a difference to their overall experience is an incredible privilege. Mahatma Gandi once said, "the best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others. Hopeless

Since I can remember, math has always been easy and exciting to me. In high school, the only classes I looked forward to involved math – other than sports. Upon entering college at Eastern Oklahoma State College on an academic and cheerleading scholarship, I chose mathematics as my major. When I came to Oklahoma State University in 2011, I was extremely unsure of what I wanted to study. I started out in architectural engineering because I knew that I loved math and numbers, as well as drawing and designing things. After a semester or so, I realized that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would and didn’t think I could build a career with it. I pursued another direction and changed my major to applied mathematics. I still wasn’t happy with my decision but was unsure on what to do next. During my second year at Oklahoma State, I joined the Cowboy Baseball Diamond Dolls. After getting to know some of the girls, I learned that some of them were in the sports management program. They all

There are an abundant amount of subjects that peak my interests, but mathematics will always be the one subject that intellectually excites me. At times, it is able to both challenge me to the point of frustration, but it later gives me excessive excitement and happiness for overcoming the challenge. Similarly, it is like a wave flooding in shore because it is at first harsh and difficult, but it gradually smoothes and simplifies. It is a subject that I can fully interact and manipulate it to the best possible way of understanding it, which I fondly love because I learn better hands-on. However, it was truly benevolent instructors, who increased my love in math and enlighten a new way of

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

Math is a subject that I have struggled with for a very long time; it is something that I always set aside. Math is something that I never saw myself using in my future and I thought if I put it off it would just disappear. When I came to the University I had to take Math 100 and Math SAX, which, unfortunately set me back on finishing math quite a bit because I did not put in the effort as much as I should have, and the amount of work they gave, was quite an overload. I took those courses twice and was still not put into a Math course at the University. That is when I started to push math away, but I have realized I cannot put it off and math is definitely important and we do need to know the subject no matter where we go in life or regardless

As for me, education is not only teaching knowledge, but also inspire students to better develop themselves and cultivate their potential. Therefore, I would like to choose the General Stream in my future study. What attract me most in General Steam is that students are allowed to study various kinds of courses in different educational fields, which means I can fully study education in a more systematical way. I believe that with extensive learning, I can acquire solid knowledge about education theories and then analyze education issues from different perspectives.

It was only last year, my math teacher opened my eyes about the importance of math and how we need it to survive. On the first day of school, sophomore year, my math teacher started the class off with why does math matter? Mr. Howard, my teacher, recognized my vintage New York Giants shirt at the time, so he used that as his example. With a background in construction, he was familiar with architecture. He explained the mathematics involved in cutting the metal, making the field, setting up the bleachers, the goalposts, the field distance, constructing the actual shirt. After that class, I realized math is all around me, I just need to look for it. My experience in math class changed that year. In the previous years, I actually didn’t care about what I was learning, I just wanted to receive a good grade. Math, in my mind, went from a bleak, strange nightmare, to a fun, engaging environment, full of ideas that could potentially change the

As I proceeded to take the course of my own experience throughout school, my interest in mathematics developed when I turned twelve. I was fascinated by how math connects with life since then my objective has been to comprehend and be able to use these concepts throughout my life. Afterwards, when I got into high school the idea of majoring towards mathematics was concrete, and there was no doubt in my mind that this was what I wanted to achieve. Although I couldn't decide if I wanted to be an accountant, an actuary, a data analyst or a software engineer; they all needed different skills, and they were all skills I was interested in acquiring. So, when I met my freshman math teacher in high school, I was speechless because he demonstrated

Over the years I have developed a passion for counseling. During my childhood and adolescent years, I witnessed my father and brother suffer from substance abuse. There were constant battles they both encountered with substance abuse, and they lacked the knowledge and resources to prevent or reduce their harmful behaviors. After witnessing substance abuse in my own family, eventually it led to my decision to choose repetitive degrees in both psychology and social work, which led to my involvement in Grand Valley State University’s Bachelor of Social Work Student Organization (BSWSO), Grand Valley’s Psi Chi Psychology Honor Society, Grand Valley’s Summer Scholars, and multiple internships related to outpatient and inpatient counseling. With my experience in GVSU’s Summer Scholar’s research program, I had an increase in knowledge about independent research and developed my own study involving the influences different yoga styles have on participants’ perceived stress. This experience led me to a greater understanding of different effective interventions that impact clients and the importance of using research to understand a

I have always had a strong interest for education. This started more than thirty years ago while I was in high school in the late eighties. I taught basic literacy and math to kids from poor neighborhoods. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to try high school tutoring in my catholic school Saturday community service. Math, Physics and general science have always been on my list of favorite subjects. After I graduated from college in 1996, I renewed with the teaching tradition by picking up a few courses of Social studies at a secondary school own by a friend. By the time, I entered my Master of Urban Planning program, I had already accumulated many years of high school teaching mainly in Math, Physics and Social studies. However, this was a short term wave as I had to drop out the program and migrate to Northern America. For almost nine years, I

My passion is world history, I could sit for hours learning about things that have happened in the past life, the cultures, the epic battles; I want to learn all of it because it still amazes me till this day. I wonder all the different techniques that they used to build, craft and other inventions. I wonder of all the geographical studies, and other things. There have been many scientist and only a few a day discover so much, they discover new animals, species, and DNA of everything. One day I am going to be a geologist, and I know I am going to discover so much. It is going to be very hard to become this but with a little hard work I know that I can do

My hope for college is to gain knowledge of different styles of dance and the science of how the body moves. Along with my passion for dance I have a strong fascination for how the body moves and works. My goal is to study both kinesiology and dance in college so that I can eventually get a job in both dance and physical therapy.

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.

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.

Throughout my 14 years of life, I have always been a musical child. At a very early age, I was exposed to all different genres and artists, from Gwen Stefani to AC/DC. I easily fell in love with music, enjoying it and learning it. Although I have always adored music and have been shy to express that to other people, in the past few years I have been more open to sharing my talent and my passion for it, with other people.
