Reflective Essay: Our Lady Of The Greenwood School

It was a pleasantly sunny day in Westernfield. The residents didn't think anything of it since the town had such a steady weather pattern that, in June, days like this were simply taken for granted. But to Marie, the sun's warmth, balanced by the light breeze brushing across her smooth skin made her feel alive. It was certainly something that took her thoughts away from her red SUV being refueled by a money-hungry pump a few yards behind her.

I currently attend a class at Northwest Vista College, which is two days of the week and is and seventy-five minutes long. This class is more difficult than any other class I have, yet I have higher success in this class than my others. I am more successful because I have more time to study for such class, and because I am exposed to more interaction with my teacher. Not only is there more study time, my teacher equally has time to prepare more effective lessons, and activities. As opposed to my normal high school schedule consisting of seven classes, around forty-five minutes each, five days a week. In which I struggle more with those classes as each day there is a new lesson taught,

Reflecting on this course over this semester, there have been many lessons learned that will be valuable, as we enter the business world. Our first lesson was to learn to work together, as a team, to prepare a short memo, long memo, letter, and email for use in the business world. This is a lesson that will experience many times as we do our daily work. Punctuation and grammar are so important to present to the client and other organizations that we are professionals.

My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction. The days were long and I wasn’t sure I still had the self-discipline and determination that would be needed to finish. Over the last eight weeks, this class gave me numerous opportunities to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. This class has given me the necessary skills to continue toward completing my degree.

Working in schools for over 20 years, Ms. Morris has gathered a great deal of experience working with students. She has taught in parts of Tennessee, Florida, and Waterloo, Iowa, and has worked with hundreds of students there. What brought Ms. Morris to East High School was the enormous amount of school spirit students had.

Participation in sports has steadily increased throughout the decades. As more and more major professional sports franchises continue to eclipse the one billion mark in value, the fame and wealth that can be obtained by reaching the profession ranks becomes irresistible to many students who have a passion for athletics. For some of these students, reaching the professional ranks is way to pull their family out of the lower class, and into the higher echelon of the upper class. For others, simply competing against the best in the world is a dream come true. The National Federation of State High School Association (NFHS), as reported a twenty-six year increase in the participation of high school athletics (NFHA, 2015). As the general popularity of athletics increases, so does the level of participation in high school athletics. The odds of making the professional ranks, however, are slim to none, as only 6% of high school student-athletes go on to play at the collegiate level (NCAA, 2015). Therefore, states, communities, educators, and parents continue to stress academics before athletics. In fact, when we address athletes in school, we address them as student-athletes.

Before I started Oakland Unity High School, I thought that I was going to be very nervous and I thought that I won't be able to make new friends. I also thought that I was going to hate this school and I also thought that getting good grades in this school would be easy. I also thought I would be lonely because I was the only Asian student here. I now feel that, I was able to make some very good friends and acquaintances that I am able to talk to with no hesitation. I now believe that this school is not that bad and I am somewhat comfortable with going to everyday. I now know that I am not alone since there are a few staff on this campus who are also Asian. I feel that achieving grades here at Oakland Unity is somewhat easy but yet pretty difficult

I have observed in numerous schools and classrooms throughout the district during my undergraduate career. I have had the opportunity to work with many professionals in Hartford Public Schools, which gives me a strong understanding of the mission and vision statements of the various schools.

From the day I was born, I had the gift of gab. I could become friends with anyone and there was hardly a moment I was not smiling. In fifth grade, my brother switched to a charter school, which focuses primarily on math and science. To make it easier on the family, my sister and I also enrolled. I was apprehensive about transferring to this school because I was not acquainted with anyone, but I was confident I could bond with anyone in my new class.

Even though much of my time was spent trying to advance to the same level as the other students, I made an effort to form friendships with my classmates. Then I experienced the way the school disciplines their students for misbehaving, by
