First Day of Class Essay

On a hot summer’s day, I received a letter in the mail saying that I got into a college named The Mariah Paulk College of the Arts. I was not familiar with that college; although, I have a feeling my mom did the application process for me. I decided to do my research on the school and found out that it was ranked the number one Ivy League school in the world; I was astonished. This time mom, doing something without my permission actually worked out. However, three months later I was off to…

we want to be or where we want to end up. I choose a Maze as my visual metaphor because the fashion program is like a maze to me. I as a student in the program feel confusing, lost, understanding that the progress, that how you should feel in the first week of call but it’s been 7 week now I still have that feel of confusing, it’s like disorienting trail that that I follow in which every decision could mean life (right)or death(failure). I don’t know if I make the right decision to be in the…

It’s the first day of school, the students get to their first period class and the first thing they get is a class syllabus. The teacher goes over the usual stuff; who they are, what they’re going to teach, what they expect from their students, and then the grading outline; homework’s worth 10%, classwork’s worth 30%, and the tests? The tests are worth 60%, more than half of the overall grade. It isn’t going to matter if someone gets 100% on the homework’s and finishes all of the classwork, if…

walked into this class, my first reaction to small groups was I needed to keep my emotions out as much as possible and learn to keep up boundaries. Emotions can get tricky when talking to other people about their problems. My focus on this program is to be a trauma therapist for kids. I believed that taking small groups would help me become a better professional in the field and now more than ever I can say I learned more in this class that I ever thought I would from a one semester class.…

athlete to have to miss a practice or game because they could get to their locker and class quick enough? Students should be able to carry a backpack around to prevent things like athletes missing practice or just even getting a tardy really effects a student. The students of Otto Eldred should be able to have backpacks with them throughout the school day. Carrying backpacks in school would help kids not to be late.

Backward Design is with two scenarios. In the first scenario, it shows a group of friends organizing a day out, but by the end of the day they have not achieved their goal. In the second scenario, they approach their day differently by talking about what they would like to do and decide for a common outcome for the day which each person gets ready and the group will work together to make sure the day is a big success. At the end, it informed the class that the second scenario is what backward…

the attacks. But, what about the story of the Point Lookout, MO? What was it like to be at College of the Ozarks on September 11 2001 and why are the events of that day worth remembering? In early Sept. of this year, several long-term members of the College’s faculty and administration reflected on 9/11 and how the events of that day changed the lives of those on campus as well as those beyond the gates of opportunity. David Dalton, professor of history, said he remembers…

getting my STNA. I was only a young pup when I wanted to help people. I started working at a nursing home when I turned 15, and I loved it but I couldn’t do hands on care just yet. I had to take a four week class and take a state test to get certified. My class started the Monday after my last day of Junior year. The teacher was a friend of my family, so I’m glad I knew somebody. I marched down to the basement to begin my learning. I knew some of the things that we were being taught, but I…

To be in an honorary class is an honor in itself, but to be in Dr. Anderson's class was a privilege. For she was the most sought out History Professor in Hudson Community College, and for this, she played no favoritism. In order to be in her class, one had to register and as soon as registration begin, to ensure a seat. I was lucky to be one of the ones who made it and I felt extremely lucky to grace her presence. On the first day of class, Dr. Anderson wore her famous HCCC Honors hoodie,…

“Schools that operate on a four-day schedule typically shorten the school week by eliminating either Monday or Friday and add more time to each day to provide the same number of instructional hours as a traditional five-day week” (“Four-Day School Week–Evidence Blast,” 2013, par. 2). My first thought on a four-day school week is that it cannot happen in urban areas as most families are dual income and so parents are unable to take off one day per week to care for their children.
