Personal Statement: Schooling The Schools

I was home on leave after serving 15 months in Iraq, spending time with my family and connecting with people I haven’t seen in a while. My mother arranged for me to speak to my brother’s 3rd-grade class since they had written letters to me while I was deployed. It was something I felt that I owed since the letters were cheerful and really helped when I was over there. I was a bit nervous because I have never done something like this before, public speaking was not a strong suit of mine. While visiting with the students and answering questions I fell in love with being in the classroom. After finishing my commitment to the military, I continued my education and got my degree in Elementary Education. I am currently finishing up my 3rd year in teaching 2nd grade and love every minute of it.

When I watched my first Pixar movie and bought my first Nintendo DS, I was amazed by the creativity and entranced by the "new worlds" created by programmers. I want to learn computer programming because I believe that computer programming creates innovation and dreams into realities. Today, technology amazingly connects people through virtual realities, social media, and many more programs which is what I dream of being apart of.

I have a twin sister named Natalie, and twin stepsisters named Rachel and Sophia. I am a senior in high school and have been attending Broken Arrow Public Schools for the past thirteen years. I have a German Shepherd named Jeep Dog, who is also my best friend. My hobbies include spending time with my friends, being outside, and spending the only money I have on smoothies or thai tea. After high school, I plan on attending the University of Central Oklahoma and study science. After college, I plan on getting a well-paying job and eventually move to Germany. I feel very well prepared for Composition II from all the hard work that I have done in Composition I. In the prerequisites for Composition II, it states that we must be able to “Summarize

Goal #2: I will have experience in a classroom by the end of the year.

Students can achieve a stellar education, however, outstanding grades are earned not given. Moreover, students can achieve excellent grades in a plethora of ways. I was able to overcome a few hardships and achieve desired grades in college by employing a variety of techniques similar to Richard Rodriguez, author of A Story Of Schooling. Focusing on studies is one way to become well educated as claimed by Rodriguez (534). Although my roommate and other students pressured me to calm down about my studies, I always chose to prioritize my studies. In my opinion, grades are a religion, thus if I do not receive outstanding grades, I would dishonor my family and not only myself. Moreover, desired grades require more than just devotion to one’s studies, they

What if it was your child? Your child being left behind. Your child not getting the right attention they need in school. Your child falling behind. How would you feel? The No Child Left Behind motto is something I want to implement in schools. Becoming a teacher is essential to my lifelong goal. Knowing that I can help prevent children of all different ages from being left behind is a mission I plan on accomplishing. I know I'll be great at implementing this No Child Left Behind motto in schools because of the skills I possess. I possess skills such as communication, patience, creativity, and the motivational skills to carry this mission out. I want to better the

My life began on a warm September Night in Great Falls, Montana. I was 6 pounds, 12 ounces and as much as everyone knew, I was serene. I was born into a family of mammoth size. My dad was adopted so technically I had three sets of Grandparents. I also had a brother, and several Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. After my birth almost everyone in my family came to see me. Everyone in my family lived a matter of hours from us so it was easy for them to come. My family does have some strains now, but as far as I knew, we were content. Two weeks after I was born, my brother had to go to Spokane to have a surgery on his hip. He had fetal alcohol syndrome and that caused him to myriads of physical and mental disabilities. My parents left with my 15 year old cousin for 5 days while they were in Spokane. For the first year in my life, my parents could rarely see me. They were always back and forth with my brothers doctor appointments.

Currently, I am responsible for managing the science instructional programs and personnel in a chartered middle school. As a supervisor for the department, I develop/source curriculum materials for teachers and collaborate with them to plan and implement instructional lessons daily. I manage the financial resources for the department and constantly monitor the teaching practices that will impact our organizational goal and vision.

Everyone has dreams of what they want to be. I want to be a programmer in my future,

During my time in this Foundation for student Achievement program.I acquired, learned many things that can help me in my future plan after high school and college. The things that I learned in this program were math skills and English skills from the teachers and some of the students.

I have the lifetime goal of earning an advanced college degree in computer engineering and working for a company such as Google, Intel, or Microsoft. I crave the feeling of accomplishment, which creating innovative and cutting edge computer technology will bring to me. I also hope my work efforts will reward me financially.

Ever since I started school I have noticed that I have always been naturally inclined and curious about subjects like math and computer technology. I think one of the major appeals that these subjects have to me is that they always have an answer and a reason for why that is the answer. I think this natural curiosity towards these subjects is what led me to want to become a computer scientist. My dream job would be to be a computer scientists working at a large company like NASA or Space-X, that every day are working on large, groundbreaking research in the STEM fields.

My career goal is to become a computer (hardware) engineer. To go to college and get a bachelors degree in the computer field. I have chosen this career because ever since a young age I have loved to play games and spend time on the computer. I eventually got interested in how computers work from the inside, how each component is important and makes the system work. I believe I will succeed because of the determination I have to work in this field. I overall enjoy computers and making them peaks my interest. Some experiences I have had to influence my career is building computers. I have installed every part of a computer many times over, from upgrading parts to fixing broken ones. It is a great feeling after actually building a system, turning

Becoming a computer programmer would be great because there are many options in this career by having the ability to produce an operating system, or a game for the world. Computer programmers have many opportunities in life to find a job they would love. Programmers can work independently, or in a big company. Programmers have and are creating the future for computers.

Our education system is one of the many things that is a privilege for many people, but is also something that many people don’t get the chance to get a higher education. My position on the education system is how flexible is the education system is for each individual person’s needs. For many people who end up dropping out of school is because they feel like they don’t have enough freedom within the classes they have to take. To start off the essay I want to show you four different points of view on education.
