My Story Of Marcy's Educational History

Improved Essays
Marcy’s Educational History My story of education starts with information that I cannot remember. Therefore I will be briefing you on only my memory. In my toddler years, or what I remember of them, Friends were my favorite part of school. They still are today, but the knowledge I gain is a lot more important now, so they have moved down on the priorities list a little. I will talk about four sections of my educational history: Elementary school, middle school, and high school, and college. Elementary School is the hardest for me to remember, although it is the time period that was most confusing. I was homeschooled for first grade, but placed in a public school for second grade named Sundown elementary. My teacher thought that I was not …show more content…
My family and I were there for a couple years before we got involved with another school. At Learning for Life I gradually learned more about doing things in and with a group, which progressed even more as I was there. A close friend of my parents suggested a different Charter School named Gorman Learning Center. To keep a long story short, the school’s leadership was not very good, so my parents became a crucial part in remodeling and restoring it. Gorman Learning Center is the school that I eventually graduated from. I absolutely love this charter school, and I am so thankful to the Lord for bringing this school into my life. The best part about this school is that class is only held a few days a week. I found that very helpful. This same pattern continued throughout my high school …show more content…
I am not the most competent in math because of my younger years in elementary school. The same goes for all of the other subjects in my life. Grammar and spelling is not my strong suit. Through the classes that I have been in, and the loving teachers that I have had, I am here today. It is because of all those things that I was able to graduate high school a year early. Not only did I graduate early, I graduated from Lancaster Beauty School certified with my cosmetology license about a month after I graduated high school. My parents were so gracious with helping me in any way they could with my dream job, and hobbies. They are my backbone and only sometimes the little voice inside my head. College was a whole new ballgame. My freshman year I jumped in feet first, and then tumbled a few times. It was a lot more work in the way of being a wise steward of my time. I am still learning to use my time wisely for the Lord, have a joyful spirit, and a servant’s heart for His ministry. I firmly stand by the belief that you learn spiritually as much as mentally and physically. In conclusion, this is my life story through education. I have been extremely blessed to be in the family that I am in, and have the friends I have to encourage me to do all things through Him who gives me

    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…

    No, I did not find high school more interesting and I did not love going but I did find a passion for education at a lower level. I have spent almost every day in a kindergarten classroom for the past two years and I have learned more about the importance of education than I did actually in school. There is a reason we sit through school for thirteen years and it is to find our purpose in life that God intended. For me it was to become a kindergarten teacher and now that I know that I do not think school is pointless. However, I do find calculus to be pointless since I will probably never have to explain that to a five-year-old.…

    During the first grade at Troy Heritage Trail Elementary school, my 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Scarcelli noticed that I had some difficulties- I had a hard time learning in her class. So, she called my parents, and gave us some suggestions, and contacts to get extra help in order for me to do well at school. Then, my parents followed up and my road to overcoming my learning disability began. When I was in the 5th grade at William B. Orenic Intermediate School, I started taking Special Education classes since my school didn’t offer those kind of classes at the time, and the school only had one teacher classes or co-taught. My 5th grade teacher, Ms. Geggenheimer was great.…

    Day by day I wanted to leave the school but she bargained with me to try it out for a year at least, I agreed and tried it out. Down the road a few years later I realized that I have made the right decision to stay there. The school was a new way of learning for me, it proved to be very challenging since the beginning. My mother recognized this and she was one of the first people to grant me help. She made sure I knew that she was there for me if I needed assistance.…

    I was primarily interested in the arts and not much else. My mom wasn’t at home a lot because she went back to school for early childhood education. I now look back at that as important, because it shows me that as a non-traditional student, it is possible to make a life changing educational decision, even when it is hard. My first three semesters of college out of high school went disastrously, as I was severely unprepared and undermotivated. I decided to leave college, pay down the student loan debt I had acquired, and work until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life.…

    I barely passed 8th grade and it took every teacher I had to help me through that year. They all believed I could do great things but I didn’t. I passed that year with average grades and moved on to my freshman year in high school. Freshman year I really expressed myself more than I ever did in middle school. I was clinically depressed and anxious but I was doing okay for a kid who panicked about walking the halls.…

    It became arduous to get some school work done as I could only depend upon my sister who was four years older, and of course this took a toll on my writing. I also remember the time when the teacher would ask “who needs a Spanish copy” and I would raise my hand. This was normal at least until I got old enough to be able to read the school notices myself and translate what they said to my parents. Although my parents were never afforded a formal education I have always felt a sense of responsibility to fulfill that learning gap, and to take advantage of the fact that…

    The first place that I transferred to was an online program. It was quite fun for the first few months if I’m being completely honest, but then again what teenager doesn’t want to stay at home all day? After a year, I got fed up with the teaching style. It wasn’t keeping me into the course and classes became more like chores, so I made a switch to the high school program at Mott Community College in downtown Flint. For a person going into ninth grade, switching schools and knowing absolutely no one may be extremely terrifying.…

    I was unsure of what I wanted and had lost confidence in myself as a student. However, once my friends were beginning to finish college and go out into the real world, I realized I needed to also do what I had alway planned and get my education. Watching my parents struggle financially and eventually lose their home has made me work hard to provide for myself and to save for my future so that I do not have to struggle that way. After a few years of just working I knew that I needed to make a change. By this time I had already gotten myself a new job with the company I am currently with, and after a few years of hard work and promotions they encouraged me to go back to school.…

    She told me “if you don’t get a degree in a S.T.E.M program you will end up with no job and a load of college debt.” Maybe it was just because I was still a naïve high school student, but I always thought that by becoming a teacher I was part of every program since I taught students the basics needed to learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I am not sure what my guidance counselor was trying to accomplish during that meeting, but as I left her office, I was only more determined to become a teacher. Obviously there were a few ideas I knew that apparently my…
