My experience at Balfour Collegiate in Regina, Saskatchewan began much like others. In grade nine I wanted nothing more but to be accepted. I was sincerely lucky in the case that Balfour was one of the smaller schools in Regina, so within time I found my place. How I found my place was involving myself. At the grade nine open house almost every other student stressed, “Get involved! It’s the best way meet people and find your place!” This statement was so true. I never particularly new who I was…

I can say that the experience failure that I had was not a major failure. It was a simple one, but to me it was hard to get over with because I always had a fear of failure. My first experience of failure was when I had my first driving test and coming from a country where women are not allowed to drive made it even harder. So driving was a first time experience to me and all my family said that if I didn’t make it the first time, then it is not a problem because I can always try again. After a…

I tell people that culture and the hospitality wheel is their own responsibility. However, what ideas or thoughts do you have that we and our…

Edward Hoppers paintings always tell a story. ‘Office at night’ is no different. In the painting created in 1940, Edward Hopper leaves the viewer wondering what truly is going on in the somewhat mysterious situation. While some might only see two people having a regular night in the office, the many clues given in the painting leaves one’s mind wondering – is there something immoral going on? The open window, mysterious lighting, and the facial expressions of both individuals suggest a deeper…

Throughout my adolescence, it was not easy finding a place to belong. I remember my first day in middle school, I had no idea how others will perceive me, how others will treat me, and how others will approach me. In the first few days in middle school, I was all alone. My friends either went to different schools, or they had different classes, so I had a choice between making new friends or secluding myself. I know that I will be a “loner” for the first few days or weeks of school, and I know…

In Dweck 's article, “Transforming student’s motivation to learn” she describes how different people have different types of mindsets.
