community of 450 people. Growing up in a small town I made me who I am. I have always had a kind heart and an ear to listen. I was really involved in my high school. I was literally in just about everything. I had a lot of great friends I met though the things I was involved. Growing up, I loved to do anything outside especially if it was help my dad work on the farm. I was taught from an early age you work until you get the job done. You do not just put in your 8 hours and leave. If something…
My lifetime goal is very different from my dream. Dream can be taken away for goals cannot. There are some physical element that can interrupt with achieving my dream whereas there my goal cannot be interrupted. For example, my dream is to become a great computer science engineer to change the world, but one day through an accident, something that I cannot control, I may loss my eye and never keep my hands in the engineering field this is why my lifetime goal is different. My life time goal is…
because they are motivated to work. My grade is not that bad as an honors students, I still need to be working on it more. In the sophomore year, I have less time to study because marching band occupies most of my time, and I do not have good time management skill to study after any activities. That causes my grade drop down slowly. To communicate with my teacher is scary for me, and that has made me have more and more questions. All of the struggles made my grades of test and quizzes decrease.…
to do, as it is my passion. Since high school, I have dreamed of becoming an Elementary School teacher, which is why I quickly made the decision to work at Crystal Lake Elementary School’s Extended Day Program.

I knew that working with children was something that I wanted to make a life-long career; I just was not sure which path was right for me. I absolutely loved my job at…
in the past? My high school story reflects exactly that topic. “I have a dream”...I want to become a heart surgeon. I want to become the best heart surgeon possible. I realize that this path is not straight and I even try to make it challenging to reach my full potential. However, in 9th grade I acquired many hopes to taking a variety of classes to ensure a strong academic experience. My opinion of a strong experience was impossible , so as said. At the beginning of freshman year my thoughts…
Over a century ago the United States kept slaves and discriminated the minorities, now America has made great progress towards freedom and racial equality. In the past, American owned slaves and believed harsh views about people of color. Today however, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Dedication on National Mall in Washington D.C., President Barack Obama claims,”Look at the faces here around you, and you see an America that is more fair and more free and more just than the one Dr. King…
and my younger sibling before I would even get the chance to get out of the town and move on with my life. Moving in with my father was a struggle because his focus was primarily on my brother and my brother’s success in getting a full-ride to UALR. I always felt pushed aside when it came to priorities. I had wished to be able to be like my brother and not have to worry about how I’d pay for college, but sadly that wasn’t the…
saying that if you want your teenage daughter or son to succeed, we have to help them evolve the traits that they aren’t learning in school. She uses determination, self-control, and grit as examples to prove her point. It is important for them to become determined so they can challenge themselves. They need to know when they have to study for the exam or if they need something harder. It’s also important for them to have self-control because they need to learn how to separate their personal…
Research In kindergarten, my teacher asked the class to draw what we wanted to be when we was grown ups. Crayons danced across sheets of paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night, when looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze of fire, and astronauts leaping across the moon. To all of us these careers were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds. Later…
three of my children and the twins live with me. I decided to go back to college in my mid 40’s, thus starting a whole new career. I love my job now but I have always dreamed of being a teacher. What really gave me the push to start on this new journey was my grandbabies. I did not want my daughter to have to worry about daycare during school breaks and summer. By getting my degree in teaching I am fulfilling my lifelong dream and will have the opportunity to spend more time with my kids…
