Our tutoring program is a big success as it pairs NHS members with students who are struggling in certain subject areas. As scholarship is another pillar of NHS, our members take their schoolwork very seriously and they are some of the brightest students in their classes. This tutoring program allows them to give back to our Holmdel High School community by imparting some of their knowledge to struggling students. Their service and time does not go unnoticed as they often have to give up their free time during study hall, lunch, or even after school. One of my fondest memories while being a tutor was when I had to help a younger student study for an Algebra test. I was a bit nervous before our session that I wouldn’t be able to help her understand the subject matter, but we went through her review packet question by question and to my relief I was able to explain the material to her with ease and give her advice on how to solve them, as well as testing tips and strategies that she could use. After our session was over I was glad I was able to help her, but really didn’t think anything of it. I had kind of forgot about our tutoring session when two weeks later, the girl I tutored came up to me with a huge smile on her face telling me she got a 100 on her test and told me she couldn’t have done it without

Being a first generation college student is something that I hold very close to my heart, growing up watching my parents struggle is what drives me to work hard and do better everyday. When I envision my future, I see a strong independent woman who works hard to give back to the community and the people that helped shape the person she is.

I want to join the FIU Honors College because it offers its students the opportunity to obtain a greater involvement in FIU and the community as well as being able to pursue their academic interests with a diverse group of individuals. This is something I would love to be a part of and contribute to during my upcoming years at FIU.

I strongly believe that every failure is a learning experience that should be taken as a lesson to grow from. I previously attended a 4 year university that became too much for me; attending school full-time, working 35 hours per week while trying to figure out what it is that I really wanted out of this university experience. I ended up failing most of my classes, putting my health at risk drowned by the tremendous amount of stress and just wanted to completely give up. Looking for a fresh start I decided to leave my university, and attend Norwalk Community College. Though this decision created self-doubt in the beginning, it soon came to my realization that it was the best decision I ever made. Immersed in an environment full of positive people, I was able to grow from the experience.

I’m writing for a request of a reconsideration of my final grade (EDU 600 Professor Dresser). The last couple of months have been extremely difficult on my personal life. On April 20th my husband passed away and the week before graduation my farther fell ill. He suffered with violent seizures; I slept in the hospital (in a chair next to his bed) the week prior to graduation, only to leave to attend the ceremony. Four months to the day of my husbands passing my father passed but not without complications (Two intubation, tracheostomy and peg feeding tube). As his health care proxy I was left to make extremely hard decisions for his life.

Hi Hong Phuc Nguyen, I suggest that Learning Resource Center is very useful for Cypress college students. I often go to there once or twice a week. In the first semester, I had an orientation in here. I am taken around here by the office assistants. Then, I know a lot of things in here. After that, I often go to there to study or need to help. I share room with another family who have 2 babies . So that, it is too noisy for me to study. It is essential to me to study in slient place. When I go there, I am free to use computers with wifi connection. Besides that, I can meet tutors to ask them what English lesson I can not understand in classes. And then , I can count time to get credit fot my EsL classes. I highly recommend other students

I believe each and every student is capable of learning and achieving academic success, however some children require individualized support to ensure their success. A strength I posses that supports high academic expectations for all Houston ISD students is my ability to motivate and empower young children of all types to want to be successful. I am committed to creating a classroom culture where high expectations are set and most importantly constantly communicated to students. I have the ability to lead and differentiate engaging lessons where the diverse learning needs of all students are supported. I am a teacher that believes high academic expectations will be met when lessons are presented in a way that suits all learning styles. I use classroom management strategies to set students up for success.

Last year, I joined Relay Tutor Corps not really knowing what to expect. Little did I know, it would change my life forever. Prior to attending Tulane, I had never considered teaching as a future career path. After taking a class with Dean Cross I became enthralled with public education in New Orleans. She was so passionate about education and the need to help change and fix certain components. Just a few short weeks into tutoring, I knew my vision for my future had changed. Every week I was eager to get in the classroom. With my 5th grade students, I immediately built a relationship. They learned to trust me and work with me. Together we were able to turn frustration into positive energy that went into their work. However, my 8th graders were

Last semester in spring 2015, I took a Chaffey College class called “MATH-25”. The professor in this class made it difficult academically for students. Many students face academic challenges in school, but they can overcome these challenges if they are dedicated. Ways that they could overcome them is if they finish their homework early, read about what they are going to learn about before they do learn about it, and come to class every day. On the first day of class our 5’2 math professor went over a 6 page stapled syllabus and made lots of mistakes on it including typographical errors on some of the dates. It turned out our final exam was one week later than it stated in the syllabus. There were also mistakes on the homework. Around day 5

As a former Breakthrough Student, I, too was a high potential, underserved middle school student. It was great having someone, such as a mentor, or my Breakthrough teachers there to guide me on the path to success. It was amazing having someone tell me that I can do all things as long as I put my mind to it. It motivated me to be the best that I can be. I knew in my heart that it was my responsibility to allow myself to be successful because no one could do it for me. While having amazing leadership directing me in the successful path is a amazing, being high potential, but underserved comes with many challenges, unfortunately.

The first year I started tutoring with an official organization, I had the delight of tutoring Nicole. She was a sweet and quiet girl, only two years my junior, just about to enter middle school. Her mother forced her to go to MATHeasy almost every summer, but being an intelligent hardworking student, this was first year she had struggled to learn a new concept, algebraic equations. We were both open to learning from and teaching someone close to our own age. Having the opportunity to meet Nicole and learn who she was as a person shaped the way I tutored years later, as I learned tutees deserved to be treated with respect—they were not simply children who needed disciplining. This was when I began to desire to become a role model to those younger

In High school I was a C plus B minus student, which was a substandard grade point average. Due to academic and financial reasons, I was confined to a Junior college. Nevertheless, making that the best decision that was ever made for me.

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Earning a degree in college will allow one to further his/her education and make a difference in our world. Although college come with a price tag, it is more than worth it in the end. Home of the Red Raiders, Texas Tech University is a school best known for their distinguished medical program which will allow me to pursue a career in human sciences.
