out for the school team and the sport becomes more serious, because not everybody makes the team so you had to of earned the spot on the team which took time and effort to get there. I was excited because…

but I money is the root of all people.” In Jean Anyon’s 1980 article, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work,” Jean realized that there was a very odd trend happening in the schools. She found that money ruled the system. I think that this is a very problemed system that needs a lot of fixing. Making school an equal place would not only better all the education given to students it would create a more equal education given to the students, the educational system should be more balanced…

MEMOIR My first day of school began more than 10 years ago and by that time I was in my native country named Honduras. The school were very poor that it could only afford two teachers by that time. I was a quitted kid in the classroom and I used to get distracted all the time by the girls in my classroom, I used to share my snack with the girls and with the teacher. Having starting my schooling at small age were one of my big dream because I was born with what I wanted to do in the planet since…

beings. The areas of high gender inequality and stereotypes are in the work field, parenthood, and in education. The work field has many gendered aspects. In the past, it was very rare to see women in the work field, now women have flourished in all kinds jobs. Studies from College Time have proven…

“School can bind as effectively as it can liberate; it can enforce conformity and limit life chances as well as foster individual talent” (Colombo, 107). I attended DuBois Area High School, which is a public high school in a middle class town. There was about 1200 students in my school so I knew a lot of people but I would see new faces almost every day. I believe there are good things and bad things about public high schools because they have good and bad programs, they push you to go to…

introduction to programming came in elementary school when my sixth grade teacher set aside time each week to teach the class basic programming concepts using JavaScript. I am grateful for this early exposure because individuals from other schools, such as my cousins, did not have this opportunity. I attribute these lessons to my current interest in technology because they inspired me to continue coding during my spare time. By the time I reached high school I became very eager for my…

Xavier is not just your typical high school or private school. It is a very unique school. I went to public school for 9 years until I came to Xavier. I was very aware of Xavier since two of my cousins graduated from here, Shamara and Israel Valdez. Shamara actually introduced me to Xavier and encouraged me to go. She would always talk about her school and the environment. I was curious about it. If it wasn’t for my cousin I would of probably gone to La Quinta High School, since all my friends…

While in a high school level and under mildly coddling was somewhat necessary in the classroom environment. Many schools cracked down on bullying, starting the “zero tolerance” policies, after the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado. In a variety of ways, children born after 1980 got a consistent message from adults that life is dangerous, but adults will do…

During my high school years I learned that there are programs that focus on these exact subjects and prepare you for a career in these fields of study. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) classes are becoming more and more present in the classrooms of high schools, even traveling as far as middle school. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and VEX robotics are two programs that help in the administering of these extra classes in the school system. All of these classes and after school…

doubts on somethings, but I knew there had to be some good in it. As I made my schedule to start the fall of 2015, I noticed that I had English as my first class to take. In high school, I hated my English classes. It wasn’t that it was hard or anything. I just wasn’t able to see my potential being presented as a high school student. While in this class as a college freshmen, I have been able to see my work fulfill before my own eyes. The projects that I have produced this semester have made me…
