Braeden Bruning, there are a lot of Braeden in the world but this one in particular, which is myself, is a Caucasian male 17 year old attends a small high school about 30 miles north of Pierre, South Dakota the state capital. I have not finished high school yet but, when I do I plan to become a power lineman. I currently however make 12 dollars and hour part time during school and full time after school is out for the summer for Shepherd Seed and harvest. I believe having the job I do influences me to be determined and hard working. For instance, my boss can be very demanding by always pushing you to be quicker and better at what your doing wether it be from working on a planter to a running a grain cart. It is good though to be pushed it helps shape you into a good hard worker that wants to work up through the ladders to the top so you can have a nice life. …show more content…
So when I am doing a trashy job like washing the sprayer I remember why I do it and it fuels me to keep going. As far as my education goes which doesn't even consist of a high school degree it doesn't really get me that far but I do have common sense which seems harder and harder to come by and a lot of hands on skills. I grew up basically in a machine shop working in engines, car, snowmobile, four wheelers, tractor, and what ever else came though which really helps me with the job I have now. I have noticed it influences not me directly but people around me for example when we are in shop class and the teacher is busy with someone else they come to me for advice and in turn it makes me feel good to help others and so it encourages me to help

    Ever wonder how Eminem never even finished the ninth grade but was still so lyrically talented. That’s because all jobs require some use of intelligence and can enhance skills that people rarely notice they are using. Mathematics, literature, interacting, etc. are all used in everyday work. These require skills that even people in blue collar job systems have. Both Mike Rose’s article “Blue-Collar Brilliance” and the film “8 Mile” agree that even in blue collar jobs work is an educational place, physical work enhances social and interactive skills, and literally occurs in this workspace more than people really know.…

    SARATOGA, NEW YORK October 17, 1777 - A British army of nearly 7,000 surrendered today to a combined force of American militia and Continental regulars. "The fortunes of war have made me your prisoner," said British General John Burgoyne as he handed over his sword to his American counterpart, Horatio Gates. "I shall always be ready to testify that it was through no fault of your excellency," Gates replied. News of the huge British defeat spread quickly through the colonies and fueled speculation that the French government would now seriously consider entering the conflict on the American side. The end for Burgoyne and his army came on the heels of a long and arduous campaign that began with a stunning British victory at Ticonderoga.…

In “Blue Collar Brilliance”, the author, Mike Rose, uses anecdotes from his family’s experiences to prove how although his family members might not have had much formal education, they all were “intelligent” due to the lessons they learned at work. Given my family’s own experience, I can attest to that. Throughout all of the generations of my family, half have attended a traditional university, while the others went to work or had a different experience, some even had both.…

    Within this essay, I will be considering and comparing some key ideas from theories proposed by Jerome Bruner and Jean Piaget. I will explore how these can apply to the learning and teaching of mathematics in schools and how I can relate them to my future career as a primary school teacher. Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner are theorists that devised ideas that have had an influential effect on the teaching and learning in primary schools and can each be linked to that of Primary Mathematics. Bruner discussed the importance of social interaction as well as three Stages of Representation (Turner S. and Turner L. 2013 pp.104-105). Instructor and Hurst, M. (2003) describes these: the first, Enactive, is when children learn through physical actions…
