I will be active on the forums, I will be on it when ever I can. This will help the community as that they will be able to get a answer to there post

As an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico I have become increasingly aware of the complex network problems that I face as a citizen of the world. I have also realized the progress and success that I enjoy in the same capacity as the frontiers of medicine, technology and communication continue to expand. My desire to participate in the resolution of those problems and in the further expansion of those frontiers had inspired me to seek a degree in biology and entrance into a School of Dentistry. I intend to successfully complete program of dentistry and further my specialization in the area of endodontics. Upon completion of my

According to the “How Do I Learn Best” page, my learning style is visual. This is accurate as well, seeing as when I am studying I will usually write down whatever I am learning multiple times. I also take a lot of extra notes in class and use flash cards, charts and pictures when studying. Classes I do better in because of this are English, history, religion, and any class with a lot of note-taking. Careers I could pursue that would incorporate my learning style might be being a journalist, a composer, a videographer or a

My interest in the EIU English Studies Camp stems from a lifelong love of literature and the desire to learn more about the process of creating literary media. As an aspiring editor, this camp would give me the opportunity to learn more about the craft of writing. It would also allow me to become more skillful in one of my favorite pastimes. The courses I am applying to participate in cover novel writing and writing dialogue: two things that are very important to a future editor. Being able to participate in the EIU English Studies Camp would give me a boost in my college career and perhaps even in my career as an editor.

Congratulations, You are amazing, you complete two courses. In a way, I feel like I did also, as I had to reviewed everything from English 101 in order to survive. Definitely, there was a lot of work, being able to keep us shows we have time management skills and critical thinking skills even though we pushed them to the max.

English has never been my strong suit. I always hated English simply, because I never concerned myself as a writer. I always stuck to the bare minimum and was pleased to know that I passed. I honestly never tried hard in English because I never felt good enough. I did not see myself as a confident writer and I am not sure I ever will. Since, being enrolled in English 201, it supplied some challenges that I was not ready for and felt unsuited for. Along the way, I learn some valuable lessons that I will utilize in my college career.

I am not a professional writer, but I am a writer with sufficient imagination and positive attitudes. Through last two-semester-writing training, I understand the basic requirements of academic writing, such as the format, the citation and so forth. However, there is still an extensive space for me to improve my skills in both reading and writing. As a reader, I enjoy appreciating masterpieces and I am good at thinking through reading, but sometimes either cultural shock or linguistic barriers limit my reading speed and reduce my interests.

I consider I improved my writing in English this semester, in this sense, practice was essential. Firstly, I had an important contact with the language, which allowed me to make progress in writing and reading. The tools that professor provided us were very useful. Chapters were helpful in teaching me writing strategies and giving techniques that make it less complicated. For instance, transitional words, outline and brainstorm have already become a habit, even in Portuguese. Moreover, sites such as Corpora, Linguee and Paper Rater helped me a lot with the language in use and grammar corrections. Of all the things we learned, planning was the most relevant for me. In my opinion, it is the most important part of a text, because after I have

Teachers have the power to change the world and to make a difference in the student's life. Teacher is a facilitator of knowledge, motivator, advisor and a positive person that can improve the student's education. I decided to pursue the career of education because I have the desire to help others. I also have the ambition to provide encouragement and support to the people that need it. Becoming a teacher means more than sharing my knowledge to the students. It is a commitment with society to shape the performance and learning of future generations.

When I was four I only knew how to speak Spanish, nothing else. But like the way my awesome parents are, they wanted me to go to school. So I, at the age four had to learn to speak English within a year. Considering the fact that I was just in the middle of learning Spanish, it was pretty hard to shift gears. I could speak in Spanish you know, the basics or baby words like; Eat, bathroom, No!, why?, play, beans, rice, please, and thank you. (And yes, I did have manners.) When I would talk Spanish, I would say stuff like, “Quiero ir parke” “Want go park,” And my parents, they understood me because they were the ones who taught me. Then suddenly to me they started to speak gibberish or something. My dad doesn't speak great English but I could tell he wasn’t speaking Spanish either.

I am elated to have the opportunity to apply to California State University of Fullerton's Master of Literacy and Reading program. I graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, in 2013. There, I received my Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies, with an emphasis in Spanish, as well as my Multiple Subject Credential. After graduation, I taught Kindergarten for two years in Greenfield, California. It was there that I learned my passion for teaching reading skills to English Language Learners. I soon realized the joy and cohesiveness literacy can bring into a classroom. For the past three years I have taught first grade at a small rural school in Shandon, California. I was extremely honored to be chosen to travel to Kansas City in July 2017, to

Becoming a second English language learner is something I along with many Hispanics had to face. Learning was something that I was always interested in, but in order to start it was necessary to overcome my ignorance and learn English. My first memories of learning English include watching morning cartoons. It almost became instinct for me to mimic the words that I heard. To be honest Dora the Explorer, Barney, and the Sesame Street bunch were my first teachers. It is funny sometimes to ask my mom about my first day of school. Even in the face of an unknown and my lack of English I still ran with excitement into the classroom. My mom stood at the doorway with tears in her eyes as I when up to some students without ever turning back to look

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.

Want to travel to China, Korea, Japan, or Thailand and get paid to do it? Native English speakers are in great demand in Asia and if you have a college degree and English is your first language, you have all the skills you need to land a job. Keep in mind the seriousness though of what you 're considering doing. You are considering moving to another country, where they will speak a language that you probably don 't know and have very different customs from the West. But if you think you can handle that, then it can be an immensely rewarding experience. The first thing to do is to browse the job posting on Dave 's ESL Cafe (www.eslcafe.com). It is the most complete list of ESL jobs on the internet. You 'll find jobs all over the world, but most are located in Asia and the Middle East. Look for postings from the schools themselves. Avoid recruiters. There is no need to pay someone to find a job for you. Be sure to check the requirements for each posting. These can vary a great deal from country to country. Generally you will notice that Japan and Korea pay the most (but the cost of living is higher), China (except Hong Kong) and Thailand pay less, and that housing and airfare are included (provided you finish your contract, usually one year). In general the best places in Asia to work are 1. Universities or colleges 2. Public elementary or high schools. 3. Private schools 4. Language institutes. This is not a strict order, but your schedule, pay, and job security decrease as
