1. What factors influenced your decision to pursue a teaching career? My choice to pursue teaching began with my interest and enjoyment in working with children. Over the years, I have held a few positions working with kids, whether it was with infants or middle school age children, at a daycare or in a school. Seeing children discover new things and take pleasure in doing so has been a very rewarding experience. As a student, I have performed well academically, but I have had to overcome…

As a person seeking a post-secondary level of education, you have the choice of degree paths for a higher level of education that best suits your individual lifestyle. However, would you select, the less costly, less time-consuming option or the one, in my opinion, which seems to withhold more life-lasting benefits? When comparing your options when considering achieving some form of a college degree your options are to attend a two-year or community college to obtain an associate’s degree or…
when choosing an occupation; experts refer to this as sexual occupational segregation. Women often choose jobs such as a midwife, nurse, cosmetologist, or teacher. On the other hand, men choose to work in science, technology, business, or law.

After four days and five nights, we arrived to Ku Ku…

capable and competent as males at any task. However, women and men are not paid the same wages although they carry out the same work or work of equal value.

This may be the result of so-called ‘direct discrimination’ where women are simply preserved…
