Being the second youngest in my family out of five children, you would think that reading would be easy for me growing up. But learning how to read was a challenge. It was something that I never thought I would be able to do without a lot of help from my father. Being brought up with my father, a single parent we had our ups and downs. My father was a very hard working man. He tried his hardest to take of five children. Besides having a job that required him to work long hours he made sure we

My passion for reading is an aspect of me that has never failed to go unnoticed – it is hardly a surprise for those around me to see a book in my hand wherever I go, absorbed by a world that was not invented by me. As a result of this, I was recognised within school as my picture was placed on the wall in the English Department praising how much I read. As a child I wanted to become an author so the ability to enter somebody's thoughts through words on a page has always filled me with a genuine excitement

me who I am today are my wonderful parents. English was my second language and they knew how much I struggled with writing. Being bilingual wasn't easy. Words would slip out of my mouth, coming out as Spanglish. My parents saw the importance of education and guided me toward improving my speech skills by giving me extra help. My struggles made me despise writing. English was a hard language because it’s in the opposite order as Spanish. For my young mind it made no sense. I had a lot of help at school

Rather, I was a mediocre student in school. I grew up with average results throughout primary school. My parents were worried that that I would not be able to get into secondary school based on my results, so they encouraged me to try the Direct School Admission (DSA) route using Badminton, which was successful. When I entered secondary

School Cliques The sounds of laughter and excitement ring throughout the playground on a bright, sunny, typical day for elementary school students-classes, recess, and hurt feelings from the “popular” girls in the class, because they called another fellow student’s clothes ugly. What gives these girls the privilege to destroy another person’s feelings and self esteem belongs to one word: cliques. This word can bring fun, joy, and happiness, or sadness, low self esteem, and depression in

The numerousness of child obesity in the US is at an unequaled high with about 33% of all kids and teenagers now viewed as overweight or fat (Ogden et al 2008). Impressive consideration has been centered on schools trying to distinguish approach levers that will switch the weight pestilence. Specifically, the accessibility of "aggressive foods", characterized as nourishments and refreshments accessible or being able to buy in schools, outside of the school lunch and breakfast, has been a highly talked

It’s crazy to think my science education began over 15 years ago. Science has played a role in my life for as long as I can remember. My first memories of science began with me playing in the dirt, picking flowers for my mom and chasing butterflies. I remember picking raspberries in the backyard, keeping a ladybug as a pet, and the long days at camp spent fishing and hunting with my dad. On the contrary, the start of my science education also included some negative experiences. I got stung by a bumble
