Outreach In Middle School

Educational opportunity program at Cal Poly Pomona and all other twenty three California State University campuses address the access and equity for these minority group of students in higher education to provide support services for low income, first generation students from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. These educational institutions have been successful in increasing both the higher education attendance rates and educational attainment of students from low-income, first-generation college, and underrepresented ethnic minority backgrounds.

In the United States, Veteran’s health care at an economical rate is a continuous debate. It is warranted that the health care should improve at a constant rate to uphold the health needs of veterans, new and old. Government has the veterans association (VA) and with all the help it has available for veterans there are still times when that care is not enough. There are so many individuals that are without health care because of one reason for another and it leaves many injured and hurt veterans without the care they need and deserve. Better access to health for veterans, men and women is important since many new problems such as PTSD have become better understood and need more focus and to be better

In recent days I had the opportunity to go back to North Carolina for a few short days. There, with a heavy heart from a loss in the family, I had nothing else to look towards. I’ve always heard of individuals finding peace, faith, blessings, and love of Christ from attending church. I’ve never been a person who put their faith into a higher power. As I was growing up my parents never wanted to force me into any religion without me knowing everything about it and choosing which route to take on my own. As the years treaded on, I never bothered myself to learn about the many different religions and what each stands for. So I used this opportunity as mine to attend church for the very first time. I attended the Roman Catholic services held

In the past few years I have faced many challenges. The major challenge I faced in the year 2017 was the passing of my Father. He passed in a very stressful and busy part in my life, and it was very hard to focus on my school work, volleyball team, and job. As difficult as that situation was I have learned to persevere through the hardest of times. I now can push through any situation and face any challenge that comes my way, whether that be academic or in life.

I am Connie Alarcon a junior at Valley High School and my growth both personally and academically this school year has been one of the most mentally exhausting years of my life. This year truly made me mentally stronger, as well as changed me as a person and displayed academic growth in me , it taught me valuable things that I know will help me in the future. What this year truly taught me that i will forever value and always try to remember as I go through life is that at the end of the day I will be the only one who cares enough and has to fight for the future I want, nobody else will be able to fight for my future the one I want as much as I can and will.

I am eighteen years old and have had opportunity to live in and travel to, diverse places within the US. Born in California, raised in Texas, grew up in Arizona, and am currently rooted in Pure Michigan. Moving to Michigan I had to adapt to new High School Junior year, establishing new life and friends. Leaving Arizona was trialing for me but I did it with great faith. Prior to leaving Arizona, Sophomore year I had let my grades sink because of the hardships I was facing at the time, including my lack of self-confidence and the fear of moving again. However, relocating allowed me to regain my self confidence back and refocus my life on Christ. With the help of the gospel in my life I was able to pick myself up and dramatically raise my grades junior year. From being a low grade student sophomore year,

When I first became a Christian, my church encouraged me and others to go knocking on doors and passing out tracts on Saturdays. Unfortunately, I was sent out on my own and really was not equipped to have a conversation with someone about Jesus. I did not know the Bible very well and could not provide much in the way of arguments with people that questioned God. On the other end of the scale

Hi Adrienne! Although your post is somewhat different from mine, I find your reminder about pivotal moments in our path on life incredibly encouraging. In my post I discussed the fact that God’s desired result for my life was to become a mother, and I believe that in order to become a mother, God needed me to become a teacher as well. Although I did not begin my pursuit of a degree in the field of education, somewhere deep down I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. It was not until I received a bachelor’s in business administration, and a promised job following graduation, that I understood where God was directing my life. Following the merger of two major companies, the job that I was promised upon graduation was eliminated.

Every hand I shook and every time an administrators congratulated me for my big success, I felt uplifted and more ambitious about what was going to happen after this day. That rewarding moment is what I replay in my head every time I feel like thing aren’t going to go my way. That day lifts me and helps me remember that I can do all thing through Christ and that whatever has me down I have to take it one day at a time just as I did with my high school experience and doing just that is what got me to my high school

Although it was hard, I didn’t hesitate to look to my Heavenly Father for help. I knew He had given me this trial for reason, but I didn’t know why. I was blessed with wonderful friends and family, and I was satisfied with the way my life was, but suddenly I struggled to feel happy. I spent many nights on my knees crying and praying for help. I asked God to help me feel happy again, wondering how He would respond. I waited for an answer, but I felt like I wasn’t receiving one. It took me a few months after the school year had started to realize that He had answered my pleas for help since the first day of school began.

Instrumental ensembles are vital to the liberal arts core in college programs. Both aspects should function collaboratively, teaching students to reach their full potential, think critically, and develop patterns of rich, diverse thought. While producing a high level musical experience, instrumental music programs must train complete musicians, performers, and create environment conducive to higher level thinking.

At the start of the year I was not aware of the purpose for which God created me. This year of Fordham Prep, I have learned God created to be a man for others, to grow up and help others, and to have positive attitude towards everything. Throughout the year there were many people who needed my help, teachers, students and my parents. The freshman retreat opened my heart to the idea of a positive attitude to everything. Sacrifice was a big part of The Walk for Others.

Throughout my educational experience, I have endured countless hardships that made progress difficult at times. Although it was a struggle through my strong dedication to education, I have also earned a list of achievements for my hard work. These experiences from, failing two of my English classes, to excelling tremendously in mathematics, have molded me into the type of student I am today. I am a student with a growth mindset and, an optimistic outlook on education and, the bright future ahead. I now understand the impact that a positive mindset can have on your future. I am definitely proud of the student I have become. I feel like my journey is unique, but is also very relatable.

Since the day I was born my parents took my sister and me to church ever Sunday. I grew up in a loving Christian home and was encouraged at an age where I could fully understand, to purse a relationship with Jesus. I accepted Christ into my heart when I was in the second grade and was baptized in the fourth grade at age 10. Growing up I have always been super involved in Church. I have a heart for people and love serving. Since 3rd grade until now, my senior year of high school I have been on the leadership team with my youth group. I can not imagine my life without Jesus as the center. I have been pushed to step out of my comfort zone and because of that I have grown in several different ways. For example, I am an extrovert and enjoy getting new people, but never liked public speaking as I felt nervous and intimidated. By the many adult leaders, and pastors coming along side of me and encouraging me to step of on my comfort zone I now highly enjoy speaking and spreading the truth about The Lord in big groups of people. I am so thankful for the many God loving people that have come in my life and helped stretch me. Jesus is my entire life and I am nothing without him.
