Chinese New Year

reading and writing haves always seemed like a chore to me, and it doesn’t seem like my view on that is going to change anytime soon. First, starting before it all started, was preschool. There I learned the very basics, as would be expected from a 4-year-old kid just learning how to handle the demands of school; although, it wasn’t very demanding back then. With it being preschool, there really wasn’t too much reading, and there wasn’t any writing. However, moving along into the early stages…

1. Describe how your organization will provide data on the required Performance Measures. (See Section VIII. Performance Measures and Program Outcomes of the RFP and Attachment D-Performance Measure for more information.) The Vocational Options Staff will coordinate and submit all required documentation to the Regional Planning Commission.

intrapersonal and environmental career obstacles (Hackett et al., 2000). Counselors who are able to make the distinction may experience several benefits, (i.e., obtain a better understanding of how the career obstacles became internalized, provide new coping mechanisms and/or techniques to combat the career obstacles, and identify the most applicable ways in which they can help the client; Hackett et al., 2000). Similar to Lent (2013), Hackett et al. (2000) derived their conclusions based off…

in school. At the end of my second grade year, I was in a school bus accident. When I got to the hospital they said a had a head concoction, and needed to stay for testing to see how bad it was. I went to school with the ability to learn like all the other student, but came home with a long path to relearning all my school functions. My struggle through learning has been a lifelong process, through multiple programs, lots of encouragement, and a whole new attitude on literature I made it across…

Our reluctance as a school district to make substantial changes in our educational system leaves a lot to be desired. We uphold an outdated model of education that isn 't nearly as effective as it could be. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said that the K-12 system “largely still adheres to the century-old, industrial-age factory model of education.” Our middle school model is flawed at the core; adolescents are not engaged in the classroom and lack the social skills they need to thrive.…

eighth grade, seeing no progress, I was placed in another reading strategies course. This time it was my last period of the day and went an extra hour after school. The teacher was a female who had taught my brother (who also struggled with reading) years before. She was a terrific teacher and cared so deeply about all of us in her after school class. Here, I remember learning how to dissect readings and understand them. She did a lot of one on one work with…

Jack and Clara, two high school students, have spent years excelling their skills in their school band. After six short years, they are the leaders of the clarinet section, showing the Freshman what music can feel like when they just take a minute to feel it. Although they share the same type of instrument and passion, their style and posture set these two apart, but these differences show just how unique the band is. The personality and the style of a musician is greatly portrayed through the…

Skipping school for an entire year? Sounds too good to be true, but it is true. This phenomenon is called a gap year which defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “a one-year hiatus from academic studies to allow for non-academic activities.” Many European countries are doing this method, where students take a year break after graduating high school but before college to give themselves time to do what they please without the anxiety and stress of academics. The Gap Year is a great…
