While reading “Becoming a Learner” by Matthew L. Sanders, I found many interesting points on college education that I have never really focused on. One of my favorite statements that Sanders makes is that “who you are still matters more than what you can do because it speaks to your long term potential for success.” I thought this was very interesting and inspiring because it is encouraging the reader to focus on developing themselves rather than some impractical skills. I also thought it was really cool when Sanders made the point that “it’s not only what you do that counts; it’s also how you do it.” I thought that this quote is relatable on so many different levels, especially in the aspect of college. Sometimes you can take the easy way

Education has played a major role in my life. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have been taught and guided by some truly inspirational teachers, and I appreciate the effect they have had on my life and the choices I made subsequently. My passion for working with students extends from my desire to emulate these role models and inspire others the way I was. This passion for being an educator/mentor has resulted in me having gained a lot of experience in education that will help me in this role as a UW Academy TA.

Going to college to receive a higher education could be one of the biggest obstacles of your life. If it is not the biggest obstacle than it’s certainly the most important. Frank Bruni’s opening question is more appealing to the transition from HighSchool to College. In HighSchool we were all taught to think a certain way when completing any task that dealt with learning. We were taught to remember and understand any work that was taught to students. Even when teachers gave test, they were only testing your ability to remember the material given. High school teachers’ number one objective was for students to remember what is said to pass the exam. However, in college these thinking skills are not acceptable. So approaching Frank Bruni’s opening question “‘What’s the most transformative educational experience you’ve had?’” I had to approach this question with higher thinking or else it would be a High School placement essay. I responded by of course using a little remembering and understanding because I have to understand the words in the question and remember the meaning of them. However, I mostly used theoretical ideas, some logic, understood the value of the question, and finally I combined all of my approaches to see how it would positively increase my diversity in college knowledge.

My interest in education was sparked after reading an article "America's broken bootstraps" by George F. Will. The article and my classes led me to learn more about justice and inequality in the United States and discovering the role education plays in perpetuating the system.

One of the most inspiring, amazing, and smart people that I know of is Liz Murray. Liz’s parents were desperate drug addicts. They were unemployed so any money that they did get, was mostly used for drugs. This caused more hardships in Liz’s and her sister, Lisa’s life. Since most of the money they had went to drugs, Liz and her family were practically very poor. Liz wasn’t motivated to go to school. She felt embarrassed and didn’t want to be seen, because of her dirty appearance. However, there was something special about Liz. She wouldn’t go to school for days on end, and then pass all her tests. Eventually, Liz decided that she wanted to become a real student. She went to high school and passed with flying

In my 2nd semester of my junior year I grew as an academic in college and career readiness. In my U.S. History class, taught by Mr.Jarashow we learned about civil rights and how they were being taken away from different groups of people in the mid 1900’s. We were then assigned to write a thesis paper on a progressive activist leader of our choice. While writing the thesis paper I gained a lot of new skills. This thesis paper helped me attain college level skills; those skills are being able to research, analyze, and properly use citations.Those skills can help me in college because there will be lots of thesis paper assignments given to us in our classes. The person I chose to write my paper about was Malcolm X. Malcolm X was a progressive activist leader who made a

The meaning of discrimination/segregation is a disliking matter African Americans would just want to be seen as some friendly faces instead of a criminals, gang members, and thieves. Rather than being thought as drug lords, human traffickers, and rapists, Latins would prefer to recognized as humble hardworking beings. Everyone that is not white would love to have equal rights, have no harm come their way because of their appearance, to just be seen as whites are. Yet, disgracefully that is not how life is, society has not developed to the point where society doesn't judge based on someone looks or race. If humans don’t put their minds to eliminating racism that means that it will be here to stay.

The one song men can't resist. In the three text “The Odyssey”, “O!Brother Where Art Thou”,and “Siren Song” the authors use the idea of the men being lured in by the song to make their text. These three text have ideas that are emphasized, absent and different.

The article also about what we should or should not do, and people always need to be honest to themselves.

The author of “Race to the Top of What? Education is About More Than Jobs”, Mike Rose, has over 40 years experience teaching and interacting with others in an educational context. Rose insists that education changes lives and helps people to discover themselves and their passions, as well as moves students further up in life. He has had many students with a variety of reasons for going, or going back, to school, and argues that there should be more public recognition and endorsement for the assortment of reasons people value education. I affirm this notion, that there’s more to education than work, and that the many other values of education should be given the same amount of emphasis.

The Following is a drama TV shows written by Kevin Williamson and was run on Fox network. The first season starts with a pilot first episode. Former FBI agent Ryan Hardy is called out of retirement and on board as a consultant when a serial killer he arrested many years before, Joe Carroll, escapes from prison killing several guards in the process.

Having access to a source of communication with his fans, Carroll was able to develop a cult-like following of people that not only worships him, but willing to carry on

What’s the most transformative educational experience you’ve had?’” Frank Bruni presents this opening question in his New York Times “Op-Ed” piece. Bruni reflects on where such an experience fit in the current national conversations about higher education, with its focus on job preparation and the starting salaries. In education the most important reason is the growth. What has been valuable to you in education? This question has many answers to it but growth is the important one. Education has a huge value for a entire development of an individual. The person becomes knowledgeable and knows most things. Education assures that one would be able to earn a living.

Tom was able to positively experience the “here and now” when he and Mary make love for the first time. In that moment he was able to feel the sensual attitude that radiated from that little time. He also had a negative experience with living in the “here and now” when he realizes that he is looking at Freddie Parr’s death body floating in the river. Living in the “here and now” allows for humans to experience both the love and terror that comes along with it. Price, Tom’s rebellious student also questions the need for human to drive themselves to excruciating pain in order to come to terms with the ways of the past in order to conduct their present situations. Tom also describes loving in the “here and now” on many different levels. He states
