The Value Of Education

I thought that having this instructor not only took away time that I could spend playing with my friends, but also clearly marked me as the slow person in the class. During my first session with the mentor, I spoke as little as possible, and spent most of my time staring at the ground. My mentor tried all the tricks in the book. He made jokes, made funny faces, told me that I would become better than all the other students who were laughing at me behind my back, and more. Nothing worked. Feeling despaired, he took out a book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar. That was my favorite book, so I immediately perked up and started telling him what I knew about

I transferred into his class because the class I was taking before was too easy, and I felt like I was not using my potential to the fullest. I regretted that choice, this class added more stress to my schedule because my new math teacher tried to catch me up in the worst possible way, making me learn a unit of probability and another completely different unit of probability at the same time. If you didn’t know, that crap confused me like hell, and I was completely lost. He gave me at least 10 pages of math work and expected me to finish it by the next day in midlo morning, and I was filled with a mix of anger, nervousness, and sadness.

7:25 to 2:15. We spend 180 days a year here. We spend 900 hours here. We spend the majority of our adolescence here. School. We ,the millennial generation, are in our prime time for intellectual development, ready to forment our opinions, beliefs, and our perspectives on life. The information we process flows into our thoughts, then into our actions, then into our habits. These habits become our identity. We can not help but absorb and evaluate the flow of information continuously presented to us in this vast place: Students, teenagers, are like sponges. School grants us constant stimuli, or water, for thought. School is the cultivation center for all our experiences conscious and subconscious. The simple of task of receiving an education has more far reaching effects than we can ever imagine. The quality of our education, the extent to which we utilize our education, and our time dedicated to our education, guides our identity. School leaves imprints on our souls: politically, culturally, and physically. Education is defined as the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction. But it is so much more. As an adolescent who has been afforded a high quality education, I can understand the influence a commendable education has had upon me contrasted with other factors such as familial influences. Also, because I’ve had very diverse friends groups I can clearly identify the effects their quality of education

When I joined this class I wasn’t too sure what to expect especially since I had already been working there. Coming into the center I felt welcomed and appreciated from everyone. I was a little uncomfortable at first since I was there for work and class and I really didn’t know what to expect from the class. My expectations of the class were to do some of the same things I did when I was at work but a little more. When I went to my first week of lab I wasn’t sure what to expect or do since I was a lab student and not a worker. The teachers were welcoming at first and over time one of the teachers seemed to have been rubbed the wrong way is how it felt since we didn’t see eye to eye. I didn’t allow that to be a setback so I continued

My next class was my Freshman Forum and all we did was introduce ourselves, and walked around getting to know our classmates. The main purpose of the class is to help adapt to college and being efficient with spare time. My next class I was dreading as I was walking in. It was English 101 which was my weakest subject so I had no idea how I would perform in this class. The professor came in and introduced herself and proceeded to call roll and then go over the syllabus. She explained how her class works and how she understands some people may struggle with the subject so we shouldn't be afraid to ask questions, which comforted

I enrolled in Expository Writing without prior knowledge that Mr. Litvin was going to teach the course. I went to my counselor early in the morning on the first day to switch me into a different teacher for the class, so I would not have to feel that immense feeling of being hopeless in that class, but unfortunately he was the only one teaching that course. My last class was with him, so the whole day I was in distress and gotten worse when I stepped in. The grading changed a bit -participation was equally the same as the essays. Everyone bombed the first essay, the class got 24.5 out of 40 except one student who got 26. We were so shocked that around two of his expository class got the same grade. Later finding out that he let his college student to help him grade. I was living in fear now. If I could not pass his essays and participation, I’m not going to

In the beginning of our class, you said that this class would be a journey of self discovery and your words have proved to live up to their mark. I entered this class on the first day with many misconceptions about others as well as myself, and it did not take long for our class discussions and readings to clear out those misconceptions. One of the major misconceptions that I had before this class was that I thought I knew a lot about this world. After listening to the responses and approaches of rest of the class to a topic in comparison to mine completely pulled out that misconception from its root.

I went James L Dennis Elementary school and Ms. King was my kindergarten teacher and being a rambunctious 6-year-old I was. I wouldn’t always listen to the directions given. This caused me to be confused and gave me no idea what was happening and this is exactly what happened in class last year. But eventually I started paying more attention and listening to what MS king said and then I learned teachers don’t just want to

On August 18 2017, I had a one on one conversation with my associate teacher regarding what I have done with my first week at the center. I replied honestly “So far so good and I am enjoying it,”. I listened to her as she speaks. I used facial expression and gestures in what my AT was saying. She also told me all the things I have done better and other things which I need to improve on. That was a short and casual discussion. At the end of the conversation, I observed things that I didn’t recognize in my first few weeks.

Education has been a powerful instrument that guides the society in achieving human desires and aspirations. It is in the nature of human beings to have big dreams in life. Everyone desires to be successful and lead a prosperous lifestyle. However, a successful life is a fruit of good education. I believe in the value of education because it has the power to transform one from nothing to something. From a naïve young boy or girl to a future president, banker, pilot, accountant and computer scientist among many more successful careers. Therefore, education is the most important tool that children can inherit from their parents.

With the price of education skyrocketing, it is important to know that education is the number one priority in order to advance future generations regardless of cost. “As a critical behavior for business success, problem solving, or community engagement, developing students’ leadership capacities informs and impacts outcomes across higher education’s divergent purposes (Chunoo, Vivechkanand and Laura Osteen).” Therefore, higher education is worth the price no matter how much it costs. It is important to note that in order to better ourselves and our children we must educate them so that we can improve society as a whole.

Given the rising cost of higher education, the state of higher education is cemented given the value

Walking into the first two weeks of the EDU program I desired to experience what it would be like to be a future educator and have a grasp of how to help the molding of our youth and giving them the possibility to become future leaders. Doctor dresser was able to bring in a Concordia alumni who had just begun to experience his professional education, career and is teaching multiple different grade levels as a young teacher. When he first walked into the classroom my first impressions were that unfortunately he looked very inexperienced and unsure of what was to be expected of the lecture I thought to myself in the position of a younger student in his classroom this is a person I would not take seriously. He then proceeded to communicate

Mr.Tommy was a very respectful teacher. I like how he treats his students. He respects us even though the grade we received in his class is very low. Most of the students who took his class average a very low score. Yet despite the outcome of the grade he is always respectful to all his student. Whenever I had a hard time understanding the lecture and I ask a question to him. He doesn’t give you that look that other teacher does. Some teacher makes students feel like they are stupid as a result student get intimidated to ask questions. Instead of asking important question students rely on other sources which is not very helpful. Mr. Tommy knows that by nature of his class is hard so in a student perspective, he knows all the frustration we feel. In
