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

    My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have. It was they who pushed me to keep trying and striding to succeed and without them, I would not have accomplished what I have today. One of the things that I am most proud of doing is helping to bring new clubs and activities to Barnegat High School. This year, with the help of other students and advisors, a new club made it into the ranks of the diverse sea of clubs and groups that already exist.…

    In my American government class, we use the term political socialization to describe the influence one’s family has on their own political identity. Although the political aspect of political socialization remains exclusive to the term, the concept that families have a profound influence on the social development of children is wide-ranging, even helping explain people's perceived value of a college education. In my own life, the expected influence of my family's experience with higher education on my own outlook never took. My family's own experience has presented me with both opportunities and challenges in pursuing my educational goals as well as testing the integrity of the goals.…

    Education has always been a part of my life. Long before my first day of kindergarten, my family’s love of learning has heavily influenced me. My maternal grandfather told me stories of people in places long ago with the same excitement and joy when I was five as he did when I was fifteen. I savor every moment I spend in my Uncle’s living room, their cozy furniture and reading lamps a mere practicality, while the books lining every shelf stole the spotlight. At nearly every stage in my elementary schooling, my mom inspired me to persevere and fought alongside me.…

    For the first five years of elementary school, I attended the small school located at the back of our church’s property. Enrollment ranged from about 10-15 students in 1st through 8th grade. The last three years of my grade school experience were spent attending Lodi Seventh-day Adventist Elementary. This school went from kindergarten to 8th grade and fed into Lodi Academy, so in all, kindergarten through 12th grade! I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…

From these, we grow and become the person we are today. We learn to shape us into the person we are and motivate the things we do and believe. I believe heavily in three core things I’ve learned in my life through experience. These core principles are Trust is something earned, sometimes you must think outside the box, and don’t let the bad moments outshine the good.…
