Education reflection

An intersectional reflection of my dichotomous relationship with higher education is what fuels my desire to pursue a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis. As a first-generation college student, earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees profoundly altered the trajectory of my family out of years of generational poverty. As a result of embracing higher education, I possess the ability to think critically and creatively, with a passion and hunger for lifelong learning. Contrarily, the

pertaining to education and human development, I have made a sincere effort to reflect on my own experiences as an education professional. Our readings about student development and our analyses and discussions surrounding the challenges that current education systems pose have not only opened my eyes to deep-rooted, systemic flaws in ideology and practice, but they have also allowed me to seek out deeper meaning with regard to my current role as a professional of higher education. For my reflective

1. The parent’s reaction to their child’s disabilities I thought that the mother of Chante made this presentation very beneficial. She was unique and helpful because she was honest. I grew up not having much experience with disabilities as well. So, I could imagine how uneasy it must have felt to learn that your child has a disability. I really enjoyed how honest she was, she admitted that at first, she was very angry about it. She did not pretend that everything was okay as a lot of parents probably

Education is a vital tool in developing the leaders of the future. It helps to build opinions and views on many things in life. Also, education provides us with the knowledge of the world around us and allows us to make the necessary changes to better that world. First, my educational experience began with the Greater Johnstown School District. Here, I attended classes from Kindergarten through twelfth grade.

I have been part of the education system since the age of four. From Preschool to twelfth grade, a lot has changed throughout my education. I can assert that education has altered my of way of thinking, especially from elementary to now. Because of education my life has improved in all aspects. In elementary I noticed that my attitude towards education started to shift. In kindergarten I started to develop this competitive mentality. This competitiveness roots from the countless awards awarded to

that education is the process of ongoing growth within an individual. This process begins at a young age, almost at birth. This individual is born with certain interests and powers that shape them. Through education these individual powers or interests are continuously shaped, forming new habits, ideas, feelings, and emotions.

I. My parents did not have a good education and to them, education was everything here in California. They went through numerous hardships and worked numerous jobs that were terrible, unsanitary, and unfair. To them, education was everything for my siblings and I and the way they viewed education was similar to how a functionalist would too. They see only the positive in education and “view education in terms of the benefits and functions” (Major, Education and Religion). I understand where

In the beginning of the semester, my feelings towards special education were those of apathy and insensitivity. I now understand that my feelings were due to my lack of knowledge and my judgment based on stereotypes. I always knew that making fun of students

The high school education I have received so far has shaped me into the person I am and has steered me into the direction I want to go in. Every choice I have made, about my education, has been much considered and has made changes to the course I am following to better fit the future I am aiming for. Over time, much has changed in my life; my interest, point of views, and the way I approach situations. My transcript is a reflection of these changes. A lot can be told about my education and how it has

“Education,” is one of many words that in my opinion cannot be accurately defined rather it varies person to person through culture, community, experience, and social background. For me, education through high school and later to be continued in college or at a university was a number one priority in my house growing up. While it was not a direct part of my culture to be successful in school or even in my community, (in fact you will learn it is quite the opposite of my community standards) it was
