In 2011 as I moved on to high school I was determined that I just wanted to get it all over with and not have to worry about it anymore. Well I was wrong, as school continued to go on I was changing my state of mind. I wanted to finish school and be something more in life and make a difference. I started with eight classes, and they were okay for the most part. My favorite class was Principles of Education and Training, I Developed a thought of mind that no matter what I did I had to work in life, but the point was doing something I liked not just doing anything.

I was once again was able to focus on doing what I was good at. I was also being able to be an intern at Bridgeport Elementary School. The first semester flew quick and successfully thanks to my teacher and my parents that were their for me in the thick and thin. My senor year I was asked to give a speech in front of the upcoming freshman class and my whole school it was nerve wrecking. I said “yes”, I was asked to share about my high school experience to motivate other to be successful because they thought I was a leader for my school. I worked for hours on typing up my speech but it was so worth it. I was always told “If you do all you can now to succeed you will be a wonderful person and the best one in your career”. The big day came and I was standing in front of over 300 people all I could hear is people talking left to right and people even yelling out my name and showing me support I did not know if I should look up or keep staring at the podium. I took a deep breath and looked up and as I was introduced I could hear the crowd clapping and whistling and everyone looked like little ants from my position. I gave my speech and I was told by people “Uriel I really liked it and I see you as a leader and hopefully I can be like you and do good”. I responded to most of them “You can do what ever you want in life

    I was born in 1984 and started school in 1989. Watching the movie The Bottom Line in Education 1980 to the Present, gave me a perspective of the Education system while I was growing up. I didn’t realize what my teachers and educators were subjected to. As a child I was very naive, which is what I was supposed to be. I never thought that my school was overcrowded or operating below any standards.…

    Living in Texas is not what people portray it to be. I have never been to a rodeo, I have never owned a pair of cowgirl boots, and “Howdy” is nowhere in my vocabulary. However, I do have big hair and have a slight Southern accent. I live in a big suburban city called Arlington. I love my state and my city.…

From show and tell in 3rd grade to big projects in high school, I always became flustered. I’ve always been scared of not being good enough, until one day I decided to make some changes.…

    It was the first day of my second year in Tomball ISD. I walked into my second period, Texas History, with a Mrs. Brough. At first glance, Mrs. Brough seemed to be a little too excited and the state of her desk with several coffee mugs seemed suspicious. It was in this unorganized classroom and with this giddy teacher that I found my love of history. Mrs. Brough was a short and stout woman who never stopped smiling.…

    Since starting high school, my interest in classroom learning had dropped quite significantly. I felt like grades were just a game, and that I should be out in the world learning things I deemed "practical life skills." My senior year I was able to mentor in a classroom of fourth graders for one period, ever other day. I took the class thinking it would be an easy and fun way to spend an hour an a half.…

    “It’s a great college, but it's not the best place for me”. This is what I tell my peers when they ask why I am considering transferring to another college. Wheaton College is an extraordinary school with some of the brightest students and most knowledgeable professors in the nation. Deciding where I wanted to attend college and what I wanted out of my college experience was an immense amount of pressure placed on the shoulders of my then eighteen-year-old self. In the end, Wheaton College won out over all of my other options for several reasons.…

    I remember when I was 5, the first time I went to a building daily for 8 hours. I sat down on the cold blue chair. In front of me was a bin of crayons, all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. I remember sitting in the cold room and having the freedom to draw marks on my blank sheet of paper. The dye scratching against the table, colors spreading across the canvas like the sun, rising in the early morning.…

    Exceptions before entering the ninth grade are always painted with horror; the daunting Grade Point Average or GPA, the unmerciful teachers, and of course the idealistic notion of succeeding at everything: from grades to extracurriculars to having a good reputation. When I did enter high school the myths were somewhat true, the GPA became somewhat of a religious sacrifice of sanity, the teachers were okay, and the maintenance was overrated. One of the things that was different from the rest of my years in high school was the geography class. Geography was lead by Ms. Asmahan who’s been in my school since it was established. She gave the best hugs, had hundreds of books about the environment, and was known for saying “keep your mother at the door,” meaning work as if your mother was watching over you.…

I looked at the boarding pass that not only contained my access to the plane but it was the key to a new world, a new life, a new me. My life was never going to be the same again.…

    The Texan “Texas is neither southern nor western. Texas is Texas.” 
William Blakley, U.S. Senator *** When I first arrived in Thailand, I entered the country without a visa, staying for 30 days and then paying immigration to extend my stay for another 15 days. Once the fifteen-day extension expired, I left the country to start the process all over again. The majority of the time, I took a bus to the border, crossed into Cambodia, and then turned right back around and re-entered Thailand.…

    I completed my ten-hour class observation at the private school Georgia Military Prep. The Georgia Military Prep School is located on Georgia Military College’s main campus in Milledgeville. At GMC prep I observed Ms. Jennifer Spencer's advanced eighth grade math class. Ms. Spencer has a decidedly pleasant air about her, a quick smile, and a brisk step that belies her ‘let us get the job done’ type attitude. On my first day observing her class, I soon gathered that Ms. Spencer always has a goal in mind when she sets foot in the classroom.…
