For a high-school student, the best time is the three-month summer vacation. It is so awaited that once it comes, children completely forget the word “school” and enjoy the free time as much as they can. Unfortunately, the consequences after this three month vacation strongly affects the student test achievements in a negative way.

Below average literacy levels in secondary school are a major problem that must be solved in any learning environment. The Prestgate School report contains quantitative NAPLAN data that identifies poor literacy levels as a serious problem within the secondary school (year 7 in particular). As stated by Butterworth (2013), it is important that schools recognise issues revolving literacy levels early, as this can lead to greater problems later on. Such problems can include financial welfare,…

September 6th, 2016. The first day of my freshman year of college. Not only was that my first day, it was many others first day as well. We all decided to spend thousands of dollars to further our education with one main goal in mind, to graduate with a degree that will lead us to our dream job. Many of us share common interests, experiences, and methods of communication. This is, I’ve learned, all part of being in a discourse community. Although the discourse reading was somewhat confusing,…

Penelope was a freshman honor student at a state university and having a hard time transitioning into college life. High school had been an easy task for her; she never needed to study and always made the best grades. When she had failed her first college test, her parents began breathing down her neck. However, she still wanted to use her new found freedom to have some fun before all the adult responsibilities became her everyday life. Penelope was growing frustrated. She believed the required…

A Reflection On My Geometrical Design Project My project was given to me on the January 8, 2018; a week into the start of school. I was not expecting a big project like this to be given so early in the year, so I pushed it away for a week until I began practicing drawing the shapes from examples on the booklet, and I could get a firm grasp on what I was doing, and not make as many mistakes when beginning on the final project. The main goal of this project was to make a geometric…

Speech Introduce myself: Introduction: I have to tell you I am challenged and excited. My excitement is; I get a chance to give something back. My challenge is; the shortest workshop I usually do is 20 hours. [Laughter] I’m not overstating. In any case, I do weekends, and many more and likewise coach people. The bottom line of why I’m here, is that I'm not here to persuade you. Obviously you don’t need that. What's more, that is the farthest thing from it. Since individuals normally come up…

Experience Being a teacher was not my dream nor one of my dreams when I was young. It did not occur to me that one day I would have the noblest profession in the society. When I was still deciding what to pursue in college, my mother was hoping that I would choose education as my college course. She did not interfere, so I decided to follow what I desired that time. She did not ask for any explanation, but I still gave her my side. I told her that being an educator is not included in my…

When I was 13 years old I loved wrestling. I grew up with it with my family all my life. Determined to join the eighth grade wrestling team in middle school, I made the team with no hesitation in October. I arrived to every single practice and did my work and then left to go home. Concentrated on the first match of my wrestling career all I was wanting was to achieve my first victory. As weeks have passed and in November I was told of my first couple of matches. Training extra just to prepare…

Back to school season had knocked on every door of Tirana to deliver a message: September has arrived and so has school. Although I was enthusiastic to reunite with my classmates, the idea of innumerable assignments and tests ready to conquer my spare time was inevitable. This dreadful forecast sent a cold shiver down my spine, paralyzing me for a couple of minutes, struck by the realization that I would not be able to participate in any sports. Later that day, I turned on the TV to notice the…
