Examples Of What Are The Strengths Of My Generation

In December 2011 Suleyman Avci conducted a study on 508 first grade students to learn the relationship between self-regulation and the delay of gratification in doing well in academics. Most people are aware the more time they put into something the better the results will turn out and the bigger the reward will be. This theory applies to almost anything including academics. The more one studies the better they will do on a test however, not all students understand this, which explains why some students are more stressed than others. In order to perform well in school students need to set goals for the future and not get distracted by things in the present, like watching television or playing video games, instead of studying for a test. I am completely aware of this; nevertheless, it is still hard to do because my “hot system” wants the instant gratification of doing something fun rather than homework. Future success is hindered by the need for instant gratification. Students who achieve higher levels of academic success are those who realize academic rewards are more important than temporary satisfaction. Those

While studying five middle schools in South Central United States, Waxman, Huang, & Padron, (1997) determined that motivation was a key factor. About 78% of the resilient students indicated that they would graduate from high school while only 43% of the non-resilient students planned on graduating. The resilient students also were less likely to be late or skip class (Waxman, Huang, & Padron, 1997). Resilient students also indicated that they spent significantly more time doing homework each week than non-resilient students, these students also spend more time on additional readings (Waxman, Huang, & Padron, 1997). These resilient

What does my generation define on what it means to be an American? It all depends on where you were born, where you live currently, if you stand up for the pledge, and more. The U.S is where Americans thrive. Many Immigrants come from their countries to the U.S. for freedom, it’s been happening for centuries. Everyone in America is different, but three things I think my generation defines on what it means to be an American are if you are born in the U.S, if you live in the U.S currently, and if you stand up for the pledge.

I will be the first generation in my family to attend college. a post-secondary education is something that my family and I cannot afford even with the salary that we are gaining now. I'm a person that believes in education since I was little in Haiti where I had to pay for k-12 education and that brought me to really appreciate education and to not take it for granted. I want to become a civil engineer and architect to build houses and bridges around the world, one day I want to open my own firm and to help build houses for the unfortunate. This scholarship would help me a lot because I don't want to be a student that takes loans and become in so much debt that I cannot pay back when I finish college. Through this scholarship, I would be

As the generation of babies born after World War II are known as the baby boomers, my generation will likely still be referred to as the millennials. This is due to many of us being born around the turn of the millennium. However, my generation was also the first to have modern technology interrogated into our academics, vehicles, and all other aspects of our personal lives.

One of the most important things that we need to remember as middle level teachers, is that every young adolescent is different, and because of those differences, we need to make sure that our lessons and activities reflect this aspect of young adolescents. The middle school age student is extremely complex. On one hand, they don’t fit into the elementary age of little kids, yet aren’t quite as mature as high school aged students. At this age, it is imperative to create lessons that are unique and captivating. Often the biggest problem about teaching middle school aged children is that they need motivation to do their work. In high school, students are worried about not doing well enough to get into college, while in elementary school their

In Lee Greenwood’s words,”Im proud to be American where at least I know I'm free.”It is an honor being an American knowing I am protected by my brother and a lot of other military troops.I know I am free because we fought to take slavery away and now there are now slaves so everybody is free from slavery.There are still so many reasons why it is a gift to be an American in my generation.

Most of the homework adolescents tend to receive from their teachers is busy work, and children and family agree this is not fair to them. This issue is affecting adolescents, parents, and families. When students are overloaded with responsibilities from schoolwork, their participation in extracurricular and social activities decreases. An argument over homework might seem trivial, but there are many negative effects on children who are attending school and go through this pressure.

My view of the key challenges that my generation faces are: climate change, food security and health care. The rising temperatures and changing patterns of rain are forcing plants around the world to move toward polar regions and up mountain slopes. The animals that depend on them will be forced to move, and human development and other obstacles may block the migration of both. Global warming causes droughts to become more severe, with potentially devastating consequences for agriculture, water supply and human health. Extreme heat waves caused many deaths all around the world. Diseases and pests that were once limited to the tropics, may find hospitable conditions in new areas that were once too cold for them. Moving on to food security, which

School was a challenge for me when I was younger. Not having the right mindset for school at that time was a major problem as it could affect the way I felt about school for the rest of my life. To me, school was all about who looked the best and who was more popular. I was new to middle school and it was totally different from elementary. It felt as if focusing on school wasn’t as important at that time, needless to say I was on the bandwagon train too. Hanging around and trying to keep up with the cool kids took a toll on my grades tremendously. My schoolwork had escaped my mind in a way. I didn’t see it as a priority anymore.

Thank you for sharing your reactions to your genogram. It seems like you have been actively seeking to change the dynamics you experienced with your mother and grandfather so that, those dynamics are not passed down to your children. I think awareness of the dynamics is the first step to overcoming generational dysfunctions. Having the ability to humble oneself and ask for forgiveness from we wrong when we might lose our tempers is an amazing step. In my own life, I have gain more respect and validated when my parents have come to me and apologized for how they reacted to a situation. Even though they are human and not perfect, it is helpful to address issues instead of never talking about them as a family. It is encouraging to hear that you

We all start high school with certain expectations for ourselves. Mine? Simple-do not procrastinate. But somehow I still found myself awake at 4 A.M. trying to cram in a chapter's worth of biology notes while simultaneously writing a paper on Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven.” Fast forward to junior year, both my parents’ expectations and my procrastination levels are still extremely high. “Why can’t they just understand that I’m not the same, straight-A student I was in middle school? High school is so much harder.” I thought to myself as I sat and stared at a blank screen. Here I was, doing anything but my assignment. I didn’t even know why I couldn’t finish anything. It’s not that I didn't have motivation, I wanted to do well in school, I just

Technology is deemed a strength but it is also a weakness because the tools used are outdated or the system does allow teachers to have more control of the students chrome books outside of school, so even though they are sent home, some students are still fallen behind academically.

Generation X also known as the baby bust generation is categorized for individual who were born from 1961-1979 (Dwyer, 2009). According to Foot and Stoffman (1998, p. 26), generation X is not a separate generation, but rather the concluding stages of the baby boom generation (as cited by Dwyer, 2009). Generation X was pushed toward adulthood at an age earlier than any other recent generation as they suffered the backlash from the world’s focus on Baby Boomers and their worldview was negatively shaped as a result (Teaching Across Generations, 2004). The Generation Xers also are the first generation who grew up with both parents working outside the home. Due to this they are often called the ‘Latchkey kids’ as are more self-reliant
