Job Shadow Project: My First Junior Semester

Improved Essays
In my first semester as a Junior, I grew as an academic student in many ways. The one main project that can help me prove my progress as an academic student is the job shadow project. During the job shadow I discovered a lot of things that maybe I won’t discover in the future. This job shadow gave me the opportunity to be able to do something that really fascinates me, being a dentist. The dental industry would be really cool and fun and it was really fun being able to work with a dentist. This helped me be an academic student because it gave me more knowledge on how to be a dentist and what to do when there is a lot of people. When there is a lot of people you have to be really patient and it takes a lot of patience and strategy because you …show more content…
Not so long ago we went to the movie theaters and watched, “He Named Me Malala.” This movie was mainly about how Malala fights for education equality. I recognized the issue of equal rights and that it is still happening around the world. I thought all of that had finished, but I guess not and that is disappointing because people aren’t getting an education and that’s not good due to their race or gender and that is not good. Watching the movie changed my way of thinking that life isn’t perfect in education purposes After watching the movie, it is clear to see that some people want to have an education but are unable to get it. Even if they are excluded from getting an education, people like Malala are speaking out for the rest of the people because they want an education. I think that the right to learn should be given to everyone and no one should discriminate against anyone by their color or ethnicity. Most girls and boys have an education all around the world so why can’t other little places have that too. Why should people be kept from learning when everyone should have the right to an education. Like Malala said, “One child, one book, one pen, can change the world.” This is why the movie “He named me Malala” has changed my perspective on how I see the world around me based on educational

    She strongly believes that education is one of the “blessings of life—and one of its necessities” (Malala, 2). “I am here to stand up for [children’s] rights, to raise their voice,” she says (Malala, 2). She wants to see people doing something about the problem, not just talking about it—“It is time to take action so it becomes the last time…so it becomes the last time that we see a child deprived of education” (Malala, 2); “It is not time to tell world leaders to realize how important education is—they already know it—their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action for the rest of the world’s children” (Malala, 4). As one of the many influential voices of women’s rights, Malala desires to see this generation that “decides to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods, and wasted potential” (Malala, 5).…

    Malala brings women’s rights up a lot in her book, which is unbelievably great but besides that she brings up the importance of education up as well.

    When imagining my future, I picture a long road of education before I have the opportunity to work in my desired career. In college, I will complete activities that will allow me to stand out to dental school admissions. I plan on majoring in biology, minoring in one or two additional subjects, and participating in various volunteering activities throughout college. I believe I have a head start on other pre-dental students because I will have completed at least nineteen college credit hours before my high school graduation. These credit hours demonstrate dedication to education and prove I have the mental toughness necessary to complete herculean college courses.…
