possible and it made easier with academic achievement. However, any achievement, academic or not, is meaningless to me if I don’t give back one way or another to the people who made my success possible including teachers, school staff members, fellow classmates, parents, and friends. On top of this, I learned that the smallest of gestures can make a big difference in someone’s life…

Overcoming Adversity The best part of writing this paper was recognizing all of the adversities I have overcome lately. This paper and speech is one of the few things I really have to worry about. I live a great life, surrounded by my family and friends, and have more than enough of what I need. It is a blessing to know that I am overcoming adversity at this moment, because one of my fears is giving speeches. It’s not only getting in front of the class that bothers me, but the process of…

The Honors College at Purdue contains some of the most motivated and dedicated students on campus with a diverse amount of interest. I am interested in joining the Honors College since it provides the opportunity to learn about distinct areas of interest other than my own, gain new perspectives on how to solve a problem, and prepare for my post-graduation plans. Personally, I love to learn about new topics, even if they do not directly relate to my chosen interest. Some days I will spend hours…

on and everyone made fun of. When I first commuted from the ludicrous state of Spain into the great America it was not a pleasant time. It was when I was in about third grade when I was forced to go into the demented school with all of the other classmates. I was the easy target to get picked on as I didn’t understand the language and people could call me names and make fun of me with no precautions. I first realized this when, the people in the classroom all around me looked at me, said…

The reason I was sent to alternative school is because of fighting, being disrespectful and, my attitude. When I got in the fight I was in the bathroom, then the guy jumped on me . We started fighting and I kept punching him until the teacher came . I agree about being sent here because they gave me many chances and I kept getting in trouble so I have to face the consequences . It makes me feel bad because I should've taken the chances they gave me and changed . The first issue I have…

I gained those skills by making time to ask for help when I need because I found out that closed mouths don't get fed and I think that's whats the hardest parts with most students, but when you practice on doing things like that then you will eventually not notice and It will be something that just needs to be done. The writing process for me is always hard because it is a battle with me and myself. If I get get distracted one good time, then that makes it harder for me to focus. I have also…

The students all have white boards in their laps and dry erase markers in their hands. Tracy, the teacher, is animated and talking with warmth and excitement in her voice. She is explaining the directions for the lesson on counting coins. The students eyes are all glued on the teacher as she moves about the room. The…

Because of this goals, I did my best to fulfil this by using inspirational motivation. Firstly, I was the first one to sign up in the sports meeting, because I wanted to obtain the trust from my classmates and then they would to register for the sports meeting as I did. This is the inspirational motivation in transformational leadership, as Gumusluoglu, L., & Ilsev, A. (2009). demonstrated a transformational leader should have a vision of the future…

students would be permitted to have their own electronic and paper dictionary because some students might be shy and cannot ask me in front of the class. The important thing here is to let students learn as much as they could whether from their classmates or on their own. As it is emphasized in pedagogy of the Oppressed, the teacher is not the only source for students to get knowledge. They should have the freedom to learn from whatever source they prefer. Additionally, I would enable my…
