of a high school student. Being a Latino Student, the odds were not in my favor that I was enrolled at a four-year institution. Furthermore, I differed greatly from tradition Latino students as I was 4th generation college student. I came from a college educated Latino family. Although most of my family was educated in Peru, many have since immigrated to the United States acquiring jobs that utilize their foreign college degrees. I attended a private Christian school from kindergarten through high school. This allowed me to be exposed to many things that traditionally other Latino would not have access to in public education. My private school taught and used methods of teaching that were fundamentally different than public schools. The knowledge offered by my educated family, as well as my primary and secondary education, influenced my ability to enroll at a 4-year university. I came from a long line of medical health professionals on my mother side and business professionals on my father’s side of the family. My parents immigrated to the Texas from Peru in 1986. My father came to the United States under a scholarship so long as he received adequate grades in first semester English courses at Southwestern…
pastoralists, so we are still in less than a $1 a day. I can say far below from a dollar per day. I don’t know how to say it, it is far below a dollar per day because when a farmer harvest, for example, in Mara, the majority of them cultivate maize, Millet, sorghum, beans, cassava, some of them tobacco and cotton a little bit when you go to Bunda and so forth. But when you look at all these crops, farmers predict the climatic condition of their area is a semi-desert like-So they cultivate…
Italy. Italians eat different foods, listen to different music, and have a different education system. Living in America, I can tell that our lives are contrasting from those who are living in Europe. In Italy, there day to day life is significantly diverse than America. It all starts when you wake up in the morning. When you first awake and want breakfast,…
High school athletics have long been touted as a necessity in the United States. They have been a staple of secondary school education for over 100 years and are deeply rooted in the American culture. Advocates point, primarily, towards high school athletes’ better grades and character as proof that secondary school athletics are beneficial (Sage & Eitzen, 2016). However, both points are not necessarily correct or proven. In reference to athlete’s academics, Sage and Eitzen stated that it is…
My philosophy of education in a nutshell is that every child deserves to have a great education regardless of any circumstances. I have come to this conclusion about teaching since my first teaching experience when I was twenty as a camp counselor. It was a camp for junior high school students and I got to teach them in groups and one on one with each student. I was in locum parentis for one week with each group of junior high school students. I took the students to each meal of the day and…
The first time I felt the spark of desire to teach was when I was ten years old, and my class had to give a presentation on what we wanted to be when we grew up. I remember my teacher asking me after my presentation why I wanted to be an educator, and I simply shrugged and said I had a feeling it was something I should do. There was no rhyme or reason to why I had felt this need, only a simple thought towards my future that most children have. This thought stayed in the back of my mind for years…
Analysis of A day in my Life in College Personal Sociological Perspective College life comes with some different challenges as opposed to high college life especially based on the daily schedules in one way or the other. You 've most likely as of now pondered what college will resemble. Will it resemble home? Will it resemble your secondary college experience? Will you have the capacity to handle it? Will it be fun and energizing? Will it be terrifying and nerve wracking? Indeed, ideally a look…
Every country around the world is different; by education, language, and its culture, no two countries are the exact same. England a country in Europe only requires students to attend school until they’re 16, as in the United States most students attend school until they’re 18, and then pursue education. Education is a huge part of society, the higher level of education you have, the higher level in society you are because education allows you to get better jobs than no education or little…
When it comes to the reasons as to why my ancestors came here from Canada, I am absolutely unsure. There were various military conflicts throughout the 1800s in Canada, and perhaps that is one reason that my family came to the United States (“Remembrance Timeline,” 2016). From the South African War to World War One, Canada experienced events that could have precipitated emigration. This is of course but a theory as to why my family once left Canada to come to the United States, but I find it…
My career development had begun in 1980’s even before I was born. My father was working in a government telecom company. In those days (80’s and 90’s), in India when women were not supposed do job, however my mother got one in one of the state government departments of Maharashtra state in India and started working when she was pregnant with me. She began her job only because she wanted me to be highly educated and hence by earning money she could pay the fees for my education in future. I was…
