STEM Vs Other Classes

No one likes being defined by the things in which they don’t excel at. These are the things that challenge our character and really force us to evaluate who we really are. My extensive time of struggle in science put me on an intensive pathway towards the excellence I knew I could acquire. After finding an effective learning style, I not only aced the class, but I also won “The Most Likely to Pursue a Science Major.” This accentuated how far knowledge could get you. I was able to conclude that knowledge was truly power. But, its power is limited unless the knowledge is allocated to others. After witnessing countless injustice over a long period of time, I decided to learn about the law. How beneficial would it be if I were to keep this knowledge

STEM gave the tools and skills necessary to apply to amazing internship and encourage me to be an outgoing student. While in high school I participated in clubs such as civil engineering and animal rescue club where I helped collect $500 in donations for dogs in the BARCS Animal Shelter by selling chocolate bars. I have also participated as a member in the National Honors Society where we commit to scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Taking advantage of all these experiences helped make me develop and mature as a person.

Since the 1990’s however, there has been a 33% increase in the number of Hispanic Students enrolling in STEM programs. This does not mean that they necessary complete their degree, as Hispanics more likely to drop out of the program or university than their white counterparts. It used to be that one required a formal collegiate education in order to enter the STEM field, but more and more STEM students are entering the field through the completion of IT technical programs, or certificate programs. Hispanics have been taking advantage of this easier pathway into STEM careers, as 24 % of all STEM technical certificates were earned by Hispanics in the 2009-2010 school year. Unfortunately, the percentage of STEM degrees earned by Hispanics experienced

One of the major struggles of my life was changing my outlook on school and consequently life. A large part of human thinking revolves around the fact that the appreciation of something one has does not nearly come close to the appreciation of something one used to have. I did the same with my mom’s advice to me, the classic put-it-away-for-later technique that almost everybody learned how to do when it comes time for parental suggestion. My mom used to try and tell me about how chasing interests would always be better than following anything else, and that applied to high school as well. She emphasized that she’d rather I take a class that piqued my curiosity than one that was just for the prestige. This advice at the time neither seemed relevant,

In the article, “Why we undervalue a liberal arts education”, written by Adam Chapnick posted March 6, 2013 explains people to understand the importance of liberal arts degrees. He wants people to how the importance is the same as STEM degrees. Most people believe STEM degrees are not successful life choices. He believes people don’t know what they learned so they need to teach liberal arts better and different so the people who graduate actually know what they learned. This article is not a credible source it is just his claims. Adam Chapnick’s article “Why we undervalue a liberal arts education,” needs more facts and reasons to back up his claims because his article is not factual mostly opinionated and to be credible facts must back up

Why is it important for schools to have a wide variety of elective classes? For one example of a variety of electives classes, there are 8,200 Agriculture programs in middle school and high school a crossed the United States of America (FFA). Elective classes are classes that students can choose to take (Google). There are many different kinds of elective classes. There are arts, science, Agriculture, FACS, and many other classes. Each of those classes helps students to explore different career opportunities. The elective classes that I have been in have benefited my future because they have taught me skills that you cannot learn from a textbook, and I had experiences through these classes that I

In my favorite classes, math, and science, I assimilate and get enthralled by what is taught and finish the papers right after they are given. I don't take the path with no effort, but I take the one with the most information. I often get intrigued by what from and start asking random questions to clear all the doubts I get on the topic. In science, I am able to learn how certain things connect to our lives and other subjects such as math and really how useful

In high school, I took several high level STEM classes that have not only prepared me for college, but have encouraged me to pursue a STEM career in the future. This includes Advanced Placement (A.P.) Calculus, A.P. Physics, A.P. Statistics, A.P. Environmental Science, Chemistry, and Biology. Although these classes were initially very challenging, as the course progressed my interests for these subjects grew and slowly my confidence as well. For me I enjoyed my biology and physics class the most. From learning about the parts of the cell in humans to learning how STEM cells could potentially replace tissue and regrow limbs, I was amazed at how scientists from around the world were able to make all these scientific discoveries and the possibilities

I have an opinion on STEM classes. I do think stem classes could be important to many people, maybe very few people like stem classes. I DO NOT like stem classes. but stem classes are good for you so you can prepare for college or anything you do.

I have always enjoyed STEM, and it has always been fun, interesting, and exciting to me. I have done many things that relate to STEM, and enjoyed all of them. I have done many projects that have to do with science, technology, engineering, and math in Ms. Moore’s class and at home. STEM has influenced my imagination and thoughts, I really enjoy working in groups, and STEM and arts and crafts makes me want to do something, and gets me very excited.

I enrolled in the STEM Academy in my freshman year The main reason I decided to be in the STEM Academy freshman year was to be able to take another step forward in my goal to be spearheading technological advancement, and I am very glad I did so. I believe the significance of me joining the STEM Academy is the friends and people I have met and the knowledge I have attained. If it were not for the STEM Academy I would not have been so motivated in my academic life because the people in the STEM Academy are all in the top 25 people in my class. Having people as such around me at all times has motivated me and has made me have greater standards for myself. The STEM Academy has also allowed me to do many different things such as programming, advance biochemistry, and robotics. It has also sparked my interest in competing in the Texas Science and Engineering Fair (TXSEF) this upcoming 2018 competition. From wanting to participate in the STEM Academy to learn more about what lays in the near future to

Discussing the topic College Degree which for years has been seen as a path to personal, intellectual and financial success at the time of economic instability, these three authors’ A College Degree Is a Worthy Achievement by Maria Dimera, Not All College Majors Are Created Equal by Michelle Singletary, Turning In to Dropping Out by Alex Tabarrok, shares their views in this essay.

Although creating art is a very big hobby of mine, I have come to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to be successful in that kind of field, so I have decided that using my interests in the human body and biology would be a much better career path. I love learning about the way the human body works, it’s extremely fascinating to me, but I have not always been the best in STEM subjects. If I’m being completely honest, STEM classes are the ones I struggle with the most. Majority of the time I get so frustrated with a certain subject, like math, that I feel like giving up. The reason I have still not given up and want to pursue a career in STEM is because I enjoy challenging myself and my skills.

Being in a school that focuses on nothing but STEM work has allowed me to do things that I love such as: doing research on interesting science, technology, engineering, and math topics. Projects during my senior year of high school and during finals of my junior year of high school has allowed me to become a stronger person.

America is more racially and ethnically diverse than ever before. Today, more than half of all newborns are of color and some demographers predict that more than half all youth under the age of 18 will be of color before the end of this decade (Frey, 2011). According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2050, America will be a country without any clear racial or ethnic majority. Yet, our institutions of higher education do not reflect this rising demographic tide. America’s global leadership depends on gaining a competitive edge in an ever-expanding, diverse world economy that depends on the expertise of professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields. Yet universities continue to struggle to admit
