Boston High School Education Four Year Plan for High School When applying for the Ivy League schools and other top schools, the applicants are required to submit not only their GPA, class ranking, and SAT scores, but also their extracurricular activities and community service, all in a detailed statement paper to the college’s admissions office. If one is thinking about applying for an Ivy League schools, they must be ready for whatever high school can throw at them, and come out on top of the heavy workload of their four years. Usually, some students and parents consider and start research college applications in junior or senior year. It is definitely too late if he or she did not start preparing as a freshman. Even though GPA, and SAT scores are…
How does race affect the student’s experience of an AP class? Introduction Our high school years are some of the most delicate in our lives and they are also a time in which we develop the most as people. Every day we are surrounded by hundreds of students and teachers wandering the halls of our schools and communities challenging themselves to achieve a better future.…
With the help of Mindy Simons, Cheri Martinez, and Mike Duran (Fox 21 News Chief Photojournalist) we have created 2 videos that consult the reasons behind why HHS believes in Avid, as focus on Advanced Placement and its overall impact on HHS. Impact: Both videos have had a far reach ranging from recruitment nights to being sent across district emails to being profiled to all Avid schools in the Western division. (P) Contributes to the development and growth of others through mentoring, coaching, or providing non-evaluative…
There are many reasons why I should join NHS. I have a weighted GPA of 3.7, two extracurricular activities, and I have done volunteer service. I want to join NHS to show the world that I will be someone one day. I am someone who can collaborate with any person. I have a different culture than most people that go to Central High School.…
AVID I hope that AVID will prepare me for college and help me grow and learn when I'm in high school. First, I can’t imagine not going to college, and I am excited about the opportunities a college education presents. I would like a good job to support me and my family. I want to think more about the world and my place in it. Albert Einstein once said “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of minds to think.”…
Avid Scholarship Essay There's always certain people in life that tell you goals are important. They start asking why people set goals for themselves if they already know it's too hard or impossible to achieve. I always believed the same thing. I never thought goals were important till I started growing up and set some goals for myself.…
Dixie: Jaclyn, I have learned a lot from taking this class. I really wouldn’t want the taxes for the poor people to go up. I think that they struggle already. I like that my tax dollars go for helping the Medicare for the older people and Medicaid for the less fortunate. I am not sure if I would want the taxes to go up for this people.…
The thought of attending college was so vague in my mind that I felt like I will never be a college student. All of these were changed my senior year when I met Ms. Jasmine Rainey, a college advisor at my old high school. Ms. Jasmine changed my life, and she had a direct…
Our initial and final syllabi represent two snapshots into our class-- how we originally expected our class to be formatted, and how the course ended up arranged. While there are several commonalities between our two syllabi, there are also some differences. Many of the similarities stem from the fact that all of the days/activities we had on our original syllabus (discussion days, guest speaker days, etc.) remained present on our final syllabus; the major change came from a new arrangement of those days. The major impetus that led to a change in the arrangement of classes was scheduling our two guest speakers. When we initially reached out to schedule our guest speakers (Sex Jeopardy and CMHS), we did not realize quite how difficult…
Throughout my life, I have always been told that I must go to college no matter what. At first, I did not really think about it that much, but now that I am a college student, I really had to get my stuff in order and take action while I attended to college. And that is exactly what I did. During the fall semester of 2016, at Pasadena City College, I was able to become a part of the Pathways program, join the Lancers for Life program, and was even able to secure a job position within Ralph’s. However, what I felt most accomplished about would be of all the classes that I have taken.…
When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…
This past October, I applied to be a tutor for both The Study and Student Athlete Support Services here at Loyola. As a tutor, I spend about 3-6 hours a week in The Study, located on the 3rd floor of Jenkins Hall, helping fellow students and student-athletes better understand their class material. However, The Study is also used as a workspace, utilized by Loyola students for individual studying, group projects, as well as tutoring sessions. Students that are together in The Study at the same time are part of a gathering, which Goffman defines as “any set of two or more individuals whose members include all and only those who are at the moment in one another’s immediate presence” (Goffman, 18). More specifically, this gathering would be instrumental,…
This class has provided me with a very valuable learning experience. As a psychology major I don’t have the opportunity to take classes in the ALS department very often. At the start of the semester when we discussed what SWAPA was I didn 't think much of it, especially because it involved performing my piece in front of the class which made me nervous. However, listening to my classmates perform their pieces each week was one of my favorite parts about the course. It was great to hear people taking the texts that we were reading and engage with them by relating them to personal things and experiences.…
Introduction The time I spent with my student during our tutoring sessions gave me a first-hand experience of how it is like on a student to teacher level. I learned a lot from my student, Kade, as I hope he also learned from me. During this time, I was able to observe his strengths and his weakness. I had to be flexible to cater my lesson plan to my student, so he could build upon what he learned and advance through more challenging activities.…
I have worked in the health care field for a while now and with taking this class I still was taught new things every chapter I read for this class. It is almost impossible to be at the position where you can say that you know all you need to know in community health. Policies are often changing throughout the state and country, as well the simple policies that change in the hospitals and doctor offices. I know that my knowledge has improved from this class; however, I do know there is more I could learn. I sometimes struggle understanding the HIPPA law.…
