“Good morning, please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance and our morning prayer,” the words that echoed through my quaint little grade school every morning- ones that I will not soon forget. From age four to age fourteen, my school day invariably began with these words. From my childhood years up to my early teenage years, I attended Holy Family School, a remarkably small, close-knit private school which seemed appropriate for the town of 4,000 people that it was situated in. The ten years I…

Ever since I began my education back in 2005, I knew I was able to grasp new concepts quickly. I was recognized by most of my teachers as “perfect” student. I maintained A’s throughout the years. I was respectful and interested in school. Since I was a quick learner I would usually tend to do my assignments before anybody else in class. This soon led to boredom and lack of motivation in school. My second grade teacher, Ms. Guerrero, noticed how incredibly bored I was in class and urged me and my…

The only reason college students in the Pioneer Valley take a trip to Holyoke is for the mall, not even located in the downtown core. This is the only economic activity as evident by even a simple stroll through the center square. With few name brand stores, coffee shops, and aesthetically pleasing buildings, Holyoke looks like it is on it’s way to becoming a ghost town since it has not yet recovered from the post-industrial crash. The economy has not diversified and looked attractive to new…

I went into the spring of 2016 semester taking on too much, too many classes, too many hours at work, and too many charity events with my fraternity of sigma tau gamma. I started off thinking that I would be able to take 18 credit hours of school while working anywhere from 20 to 25 hours a week and still find room to attend all of the philanthropy events put on by sigma tau gamma. Simply put, my struggle with the spring of 2016 semester was due to myself taking on too many things at once. My…

But then, when I was 2 years and 5 months old, I started going to school. The school that I attended in India was “Cambridge International School For Girls”. As you can tell by the name, the school was only for girls. I can’t recall how I felt or what events occurred on my very first day of school, as I was very young at that time. But I do remember some facts from my…

I have been accepted into the London School of Economics for the fall quarter and I will also be applying to the Marshall and Gates Cambridge Scholarships so that I can receive my doctorate degree in political science from Cambridge. I want to know as much about the system as I can so that I can become an instrument of change. I want little Black boys and girls in Detroit to have access to a high quality education. I want young gay…

Letter grades existed long before we are born. According to Mark W. Durm, “1883—At Harvard there is a reference to a student making a B. This apparently was the first use of a letter for a grade that can be found” (1). There are many great leaders attended schools and received letter grades; even our grand parents might have received letter grades in their life. Many people attended school and grew up with grades and every one of us is very familiar with grades. We fought for good grades to get…
