My philosophy on writing is fairly simple, always write about what you love. Any writing that isn’t driven by some sense of passion is incomplete. As difficult as it was for me to chose four essays from this semester to put in my portfolio, I feel as though I have chosen the right four papers that reflect my values and who I am as a person. The first essay I chose was my narrative essay. This essay means a lot to me in particular because it is about me and friend’s adventures around Italy. Since
The connotation of the term “fun”, isn't necessarily linked to writing. If anything, writing would be considered an antonym. Writing seems more of a chore than a leisure activity for many students. Personally, I blame our grade school teachers who instilled the idea (and forced students) to interchangeably think of writing in relation to school work. Rarely was I encouraged, as a child, to write on my free time; instead, I would strictly write whenever an assignment was due. I've always struggled
My Writing Philosophy To succeed as an elementary school teacher, I need each one of my students to succeed. When I first decided to become an educator, I had it in my mind that reading was the backbone of the classroom. However, after this semester, I have learned writing is every bit as important as reading. “Classroom teachers as well as writing researchers have discovered that even young children communicate through writing, and that hey begin writing as they’re learning to read or even before
1. When I joined the Coast Guard 21 years ago, I would never have guessed I would be writing a memo based on my leadership philosophy. My first two years and ten days in the Coast Guard was the most miserable I have ever been. I was one of two females at a Small Boat Station in Rockland, Maine. My roommate and I were treated differently, to say the least. We were the only two mess cooks out of 20 non-rated personnel. Her and I would switch every other month for more than one year. It took us
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” This is in my top five favorite quotes. My high school English teacher introduced me to this quote from Ernest Hemingway during one of her lectures. Mrs. Rothe and I were really close and this was also one of her favorite quotes. She had us read the Old Man in the Sea; one of Hemingway’s famous writings. Mrs. Rothe was my English teacher for three years and she taught me how to write well and love it at the same time
My Education Philosophy Developing a personal education philosophy is a process that may never end, but I believe that I am in the midst of creating one based on my own experiences and the lessons I am receiving in college. After examining the various education philosophies outlined in the “Teachers, Schools & Society” textbook by Myra Pollack Sadker and David Miller Sadker, I have decided that my present philosophy is an eclectic combination of Essentialism and
Renaissance Revisited An investigation into the aesthetics and philosophy reflected in Italian Renaissance architecture Introduction “The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.” – Frank Lloyd Wright The architectural legacy of the past is one full of astonishing, miraculously constructed buildings and urban spaces. Great books on architectural history and its dissemination can be found everywhere, and history of architecture
earlier identifications of genre, conventions, and occasions for writing made in my assignment two. Second, students must produce writing that draws considerably on concepts from primary or secondary sources. For this objective I cited my assignment two which includes primary source material and argues a rationalization for change within a journal. Thirdly, students should show a flexible writing process that adapts to the different writing situations and tasks. I cite again assignment two, where I examined
student center at Rio Salado College and spoke with an advisor who told me I needed to take philosophy class to finish my degree. I had two questions pop into my head at that moment. One was why do I need this class to help me with my career path. Secondly what is philosophy and I hope it does not contain much writing. He told me philosophy is just like your first question, he further explained philosophy is when you dig deeper into the reasoning behind why we do what we do. I sat there for a minute
My family moved to a rural small town in the Central Valley in California from the San Francisco East Bay when I was seven. The town was called Tracy. You may have passed through it on the way to somewhere else, as so many other people did. I left as soon as was possible and began attending the University of California Santa Cruz. When I left, the town had about twenty thousand residents. It now contains about ten times as many. At UC Santa Cruz, I studies physics. I had wanted to be an astronomer
