Morshed got the idea from the his high school study abroad trip; the trip was consisted of vacationing and going to school while staying with host families every night. The group also met up with Morshed’s French brother Baptiste. Like Mr. Morshed, the students formed relationships of their own with their host families. Each student stayed in separate host homes. The hosts acted as tour guides for each student showing the way around Lycée Notre Dame school in the mornings and exploring France at night. “I could not have asked for a better person to guide me through these crazy two weeks and I hope to form a lifelong relationship,” said junior Sydney

At first, we thought of it as a sacrifice of our summer to glamorize our college application, but throughout the program we experienced things that exceeded beyond our expectations.…

    A new journey in my life began on August 13th, 2014 as my school principal cut the red ribbon celebrating the opening of a brand new high school. Little did I know, it would become a journey of growth and unique experiences unlike any before it, further refining and adding to my inner sculpture of identity and talent. I was going to Liberty High School, therefore it was necessary that I adapt--quickly, yet strategically. Throughout my life, I had never imagined that my high school experience would reach and exceed my expectations in the way that it did. I had the unique opportunity most people don’t get in life: to be part of a grassroots movement in establishing a culture that would enrich future students with tradition and values for many years to come.…

    As Jean Piaget once said, “[t]he goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge, but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things”. Children have such a wealth of ideas inside of them, and the goal of every teacher, including myself, should be to inspire their students to share them with not only the class, but the world. In the novel Educating Esmé by Esmé Raji Codell, Esmé inspired her students to become lifelong learners through the promotion of goals for her students. One of the main themes of the student goals in the Intro to Education class is to inspire students to become good learners. Good learners typically have a high level of discipline and self…

    In The Colonial Harem, Algerian author Malek Alloula analyzes the French colonial gaze on his native country and particularly its women through the historical record of postcards made from 1900 to 1930. Alloula argues that the postcards were a form of symbolic assault on the veiled and private women of Algeria, who were played in them by paid models, as denizens of the colonial fantasy of the harem, as created by Orientalism. In the first chapter “The Orient as Stereotype and Phantasm,” Alloula outlines his mission to respond to the colonial gaze as an Algerian by analyzing the mechanisms used to create the desired phantasm or phantasy of the exotic, and often sexual, commoditized and presented as indisputable reality in the form of photo postcards.…
