Therefore I had minimal difficulties learning a new instrument, in contrast with my peers who never played an instrument before. While I did have minimal difficulties playing the violin, it was still baffling at times, but not as much as it would have been had I not played any instrument beforehand.

    For the past six years I have been taking piano lessons. When I first started, my lessons were a breeze. Some songs I would only practice one or two times before, and I would still get that yellow smiley face sticker on the page. The years went on and the music just kept getting harder and harder. I would come to a lesson, and “forget” to bring one of my books with an assigned song in it.…

    The psychological condition of understanding is not binary. Life is understood by all through different lenses, and that lens is known as perspective. One’s frame of reference creates their outlook, and that outlook generates an individual’s reality. Emotions, intellect, and feelings represent the spectrum of an individual’s kaleidoscopic reality, though all are displayed at one point in time, and at another point in time their arrangement may be entirely different, the colors remain the same. Focus may shift from one portion to another, from sadness to anger, from anger to logic, all while remaining sight on the same picture as a whole.…

    To demonstrate my understanding of the CHYS 2P15 materials and reflections, I will be drawing on both of my CLIOs. Through explaining my CLIOs, I will be reflecting on normalized school experiences and applying them through the three major lenses in the child and youth studies field, which are developmental, exceptionalities, and sociocultural lenses.

    In the American education system, students are judged from an early age whether or not they will ever reach the standards previously placed before them. The expectations for adolescence are ever growing, and after falling behind it is easy for a student to become lost in the world known as “remedial.” Once deemed as such, it becomes nearly impossible to shed said label and become, at best, average. Breaking free from previously set inadequacies and challenging the unknown world of education are goals in which anyone can accomplish. In Mike Rose’s book Lives on the Boundary, he talks about his early years being placed in a vocational course at the secondary school he attended.…

    Teaching controversial issues in the classroom through discussion is the most beneficial method for students to learn about these matters because it teaches them how to be open-minded, think critically about their own beliefs, and forces them to master their public speaking and interpersonal skills. The benefits of using discussions in classrooms to teach contentious topics are endless but the three previously mentioned have proven to be the most valuable by students, teachers, and parents everywhere. Class discussions force students to listen, embrace, and be respectful of opinions and beliefs that are divergent to their own. As mentioned by David Bridges (1979), an author who has formerly analyzed the notion of discussion, the sharing of…

    Many students do not have the opportunity to experience a class that influences their lives, but I was fortunate enough to have such an experience. The subject that has influenced me the most is AP Environmental Science (APES). The class focuses on the world we live in and explains how people’s actions can either harm or benefit the environment. With each chapter, the teacher provided real world examples,along with important analysis, to describe how humans affect their own ecosystems. Such an example is how China continues to deplete the world's resources and how there are many different types of sustainable ways to get energy through which I never knew existed.…
