My education has been a little bit spread out in the different variety of schools I have attended. I started my adventure in a Bodhi Tree Montessori school. I started attending Bodhi Tree in Pre-school. I continued to stay at Bodhi Tree all the way through 1st grade. I was so young so I do not remember too much about the environment or the "teachings", all I really do remember was that I was in a Montessori school because my brother had a difficult time learning. The idea of a Montessori school is fantastic in the way it helps students who need a little more help and guidance than other students. In 2nd grade my parents let me make the decision to switch to a public school where most of my friends were. I remember this school was a big shift for me from my previous school. My parents got

The summer before senior year we moved to Camden Maine. A little town that no one has ever heard of. To put in perspective my graduating class was about 100 students. Through this school, I attended a vocational school for EMT training. This school changed my view on education just a little bit. Vocational school all around are preparing students to go into real world jobs. Getting student trained for jobs they want to do. I feel as if that is how all schools should be. Taking the EMT course that I did made it so that I was ready for the real world and If I wanted to I could just go on to be an EMT and not go any further in educations. Technically I don 't have to be here today because I already have a potential career for life. In my opinion, my classes should be like that. I have had my fair share of different types of schools. All of the different types of schools have their positives and negatives. I am very thankful for the opportunities that I have been given regarding my educations. I feel that I have been very fortunate to be able to experience all of the schools I have

    High school is a staple of American culture. Popular culture is littered with high school imagery: cheerleaders at the homecoming game, senior prom, and finally, graduation. It is a major time of growth for adolescents and serves as a stepping stone into the adult world, giving students the skills and experiences needed to be successful later in life. However our perception of high school and the ‘high school experience’ is rapidly changing as alternatives to traditional schooling appear. An excellent example of this is an emerging program commonly referred to as ‘early college high school’, a duel enrollment program that allows high school students to receive an associate’s degree while earning their high school diploma.…

    There are various reasons as to why I’m deserving of the Etna-Dixmont School Scholarship. The most prevalent reason is my family history and connection with the town of Dixmont. My father and my grandparents moved to from Massachusetts to Dixmont, Maine when he was in second grade. My grandfather bought a house on Route 9 in Dixmont, and some other land in addition to that. The Dixmont Corner Church was built in 1835, and had an active one room school house next to it that was built in 1808.…

    I returned to Mary Bethune after 6th grade. It was awkward seeing all of my old classmates who I hadn’t seen in three years. I was taken by a surprise when Mrs.Hawley still worked there. I talked about her so much when I was there, that my siblings would just pray that they had her as a teacher. There I was in 7th grade still attached to my 3rd grade teacher.…

    “School”, a word that many young children and adults hate to hear or speak. In elementary and high school, students attend classes seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year. Going to an institution of education is a youth’s full time job. Learning becomes the only thing important in their lives and they are required to devote a large majority of their time to it. Spending almost 12 years of my life in a school, it has had a large influence on my life.…

    I believe that having school unifroms can affect how one is on an individual level in school and later in life. The reasn being that I know what it is like wearing a uniform because I did it for 9 straight years at a charter school. It was uncomfortable, and we always had to wear belts and cacky colored pants. It was the worst clothing that any kid should have to wear when going through elementary to middle school. I disagree that unifroms should be kept in our school beacuase they do not allow comfort, style, and the chance to show people what you are like as a person.…

    When making decisions, you don't always know whether or not you've made the right one immediately. I was deciding on which high school I wanted to attend; I chose to go to public school, even though I had previously gone to private school. Why would a kid choose to go from a class of 24 to a brand new school with 1700 kids without knowing anyone? That sounds crazy to me, but my 14 year-old self thought that it would be just fine.…

    As I stepped foot on 48 acres of unknown land, my heart sank into my stomach. I was about to leave the comfort zone that I have had since the age of fiveto embark on a new journey; one filled with unknowns and no one to fall back on. All I had was myself, and it was then that I knew this new path in my life would transition me into an adult. It was time to start high school, but I would not be attending the high school my friends were; I was embarking on this journey alone.…

    General education classes may be beneficial, but take time out and imagine college without general education classes except for the classes that are beneficially related to your main program classes; school would be so much easier, faster, and more affordable without classes unrelated to our major. There would be less homework creating more study time for main classes, more availability creating a chance to take more of your main class prerequisites to get to your degree faster, and time would be available for internship if needed. If main courses just included the required general education material into their own material there wouldn 't be a need for so many years of school and so many classes in a week. College students would be more successful if general education classes were just optional and not required considering the fact that some students don 't get to reach the success of their major degree all because they didn 't pass some of their general education requirements or their work schedule didn 't meet the study time needed for their general education classes. Some students could be highly potential with their major but suffer difficulties within some general education classes causing them to fail meeting…

    My grandfather was born in Gilroy, California, in 1939. At the age of eight, my grandfather moved to a ranch near the outskirts of Gilroy, where he lived in a one room shack with his mother, brother, and step-father. For seven years, my grandfather lived in that poor shack, where he had to cover the holes in the walls with newspaper or cardboard just to keep warm during the cold winters. Years later, my grandfather decided to make something out of his life, and enrolled at San Jose City college in 1972, and graduated in 1975 with an Associate degree. While enrolled in San Jose City college, my grandfather was offered an internship to work for the Santa Clara county in the investigation program unit.…

    Through my experience, my freshman and sophomore years as a musician were terrifying. On top of the shock of the new atmosphere at school, I had to play my instrument with and in front of others, which was quite a stretch for me at the time. I would always beat myself up about minute mistakes I had glorified during rehearsals, playing tests, and especially auditions. However, after I did not make an Illinois Allstate ensemble my junior year, my approach to these nerve-wracking situations completely changed. Instead of thinking failing negatively, those uncomfortable experiences actually made me improve as I had taken more auditions.…

    My Junior year of high school was my challenging year, the reason to that is because we had to study for our Act also we had our grad MCAs to take. I must say it was really difficult knowing that we had those two big major tests in the same week. The amount of studying was ridiculous but in my head for a whole two months I was reminding myself that it will benefit me in the future that I need this to graduate. One part I didn 't have to worry was a portion of the MCA like the Algebra part. But the part that was extremely hard for me was geometry.…
