Burgess Elementary Observation Essay

Decent Essays
I decided to do a little research on Burgess Elementary. It was named after superintendent, Joseph Burgess, in 1963, because he was a hardworking man, and was rewarded for it.
Why I chose Burgess elementary was because it was a piece of my childhood and during pre-school, which was a time rare time of me being stress free, not worrying about adult responsibilities, just to learn, and have fun. I was able to see the contrast to how I perceived the building to what the name of the place stood for, by how impactful it was towards me and how Joseph Burgess impacted the building.

    Throughout my time in English 101, my writing has undergone drastic improvements. The first writing assignment I chose to revise was Project 1, the Advertisement Analysis. My first draft of Project 1 had no clear thesis and no specific claim, ideally, an easy problem to solve. However, this was a common issue in my writing in most of my projects this semester, so it only made sense to tackle this project and revise it first. To begin revising Project 1, I first established my thesis statement which was that: the “Best Buds” advertisement was effective because of the incorporated rhetorical strategies and the overall theme of loyalty.…

    The reason that I chose to attend Marywood had more to do with simple education. There were many things about the school that I found attractive, not least of which was its strong adherence to a set of values. I have always been a very driven person, especially when it comes to my goals and interests. While not every one of the core values applies to me and my goals, the ones that do align strongly with both the interests that I have, and the places that I see myself going later in life. The most important goal to me is excellence.…

An incident that impacted me significantly occurred when I was in the fifth grade. I was always a high achiever and an “A” student.

    Having gone to two different high schools I got to experience, firsthand, just how different two schools in the same county can be. Marvin ridge and Weddington High School are completely different in their appearance, their students and their academics. Marvin was the first high school that I attended. Its nickname was " Marvin Rich". The Ridge had a certain feeling to it when you stepped foot in its doors, almost as if the air was filled with exhaust from pricey cars and cologne from name brand stores.…

    In order to have a thriving colony, you need to have resources. Winthrop and his followers did not bring enough food to feed all 1,000 settlers, so they had to farm, fish, and hunt (Morgan 50). The land was ideal for farming and raising cattle, and they were on a peninsula, so they could easily fish and catch lobsters. In England, hunting was mainly a recreational activity but in New England, it was necessary for life. Winthrop was skilled at shooting, and now that it was not an indulgence but a way of living, he was happy to do it (Morgan 51).…

    The top three colleges I chose are Hinds Community College, Mississippi State University, and Alcorn State University . Hinds is my first choice because I visited Hinds’ Nursing Allied Health Center on one of my various CDC field trips and I was amazed. I was shown how to be prepared for CPR, how to read the blood pressure machine, and just learn about all the programs they have to offer. I actually did plenty of .research on nursing and I think Hinds is just the place for me .…

    One cold and dreary day in January, I got home from an uneventful day at school. I never would have guessed what was about to happen or thought that this would ever happen to me. I was just a quiet freshman in high school. My father sat down with my family and told us that we were about to move to Texas. I was both shocked and a little excited to move because I’ve always wanted to go south.…

    Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 1010 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…

    To Kill a Mockingbird - “Atticus said to Jem one day, “I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." This passage was a major part of the story because of the symbolism that has now been revealed. The Mockingbird is a harmless and pure hearted animal, which in this story symbolizes Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. I chose this passage because of the strong meaning behind it.…

    In 1821, Boston English High School opened it’s doors and became the first public high school ever. When it first opened it had an enrollment of 101 boys and no female students. It was placed on the corner of Derne Street and Temple Street, in Boston Massachusetts. It was a school opened for boys who did not plan to attend Harvard or could not afford it. I think that this school opening played a key role in educational history because public schools today give all kinds of students the opportunity to learn just as this one did.…

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

    At a first glance, it was viewed as an abandoned elementary school that was deteriorating physically, a place that was losing hope and a place that no one would ever want to go to. I am talking about Cathedral High School on 310 Main St, Wilbraham, also known as my second home. Waking up at 6:45 and going to the bus stop was a daily routine for myself. Standing there the first day, I was circled up with 3 friends whom I had known from middle school. Shortly however as the days progressed, that radius doubled and continued to grow.…

    When people realize they have to leave everything they have known, loved and cared for twelve thousand miles away from them the impact is so great. Some people think it was easy for me to move from Australia to America, but really it is difficult to forget about. When someone moves from one house to another they don’t usually leave the country where their family, friends and memories are. As for me, in 2011 my family and I traveled to the United States to look for a house to live in. My dad was offered a new job but the catch was that we had to move.…
