Classmates

and contemplated doing as the rest of my classmates were doing. Suddenly, it was as if my dad were standing over me saying “having integrity will not always be easy to do; there will be times in your life I’m sure that you will be faced with situations that will test your integrity, but it’s up to YOU to choose what to do.” After thinking about my Dad, and what he had said; it was as if that paper was hot as a fire; I quickly passed it on to a classmate that was anxiously waiting to copy…

The mediated universe in which we live often times is more overwhelming than not. Mediated society has influenced the way that I put personal information on the internet. I personally have access to social media but have chosen to distance myself from Facebook and Twitter. In my opinion, the world of social media has gotten out of control. We live in a world that exploits women in the media, on television shows, and in movies. There are negative and positive concepts that you can gain form…

The reference groups which we may or may not indeed help us find our place in society. This helps us understand where we would like to be within the society we live in and impacts of these groups. These groups are those we look to for guidance to our own lives. A real life reference group which has impacted how I view myself is the older college student, as an older college student I look to the older students within my classes to observe how they function and adjust to college. I sometime…

It is approximately October 08, 2015 at 4:10 in the evening. AJ’s classroom is very warm and inviting with bright colors all around the room such as bright orange, red, lime green, bright yellow and bright pink. While observing AJ and his fellow classmates siting at the green activity table, I noticed…

I wanted to start off with how much I enjoyed the story you wrote, “The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth”. "The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth" makes fantastic points and explains why it is perfectly fine to be unique. After reading the article, it made an impact on me. Your writing made myself dig deeper into my brain to rethink my actions that I make everyday. The piece that you wrote taught me that I can be my own individual person. It also showed me that I don’t have to be like the majority of…

boys checking girls out then their education? Which begs the question, are dress codes biased? If you keep reading you will soon find out. Are dress codes really worth all this trouble? Once you take a girl out of class for "distracting" her male classmates you are prioritizing his education over hers. A school in Staten Island sent almost 200 kids to detention for dress code, and more than 90% of them were females. Why are we punishing girls because male students can’t keep their…

Here is in an anecdote of the day malala was hit by the Taliban .“Today wasn’t the best day, I had a test today. But I didn’t mind it as much as my classmates did. Since the time of the Taliban our school didn’t show anything about what was happening inside. For girls, the door to the school was like a magical entrance to our own learning world. As we walked and then ran up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was doors to all the classrooms. We put our backpacks in our classrooms, then came…

began to panic because my group had to present the next day of the first day. I told my teammates: I should drop this class because my understanding of English is not sufficient to read one chapter and prepare for a presentation overnight. Then, my classmates said “If this class is the requirement of your major, you need to take this class some point anyway. So, you should not drop it. We will help you.” I told them that…

reason the Vietnam War was so rejected was because in America the public were absorbed in a hippie phase. I always thought that Victims of PTSD only transpired from the most global and gruesome wars, such as WW1 and WW2. It wasn’t until a fellow classmate recited a section from the novel where a fellow veteran named Vuong fell into a cycle of drinking, and sleeping. He was used as the example of what many soldiers became postwar when they didn’t know what to do with their lives. The alcohol was…

Have you ever thought about what high school would be like? I have. I have thought of many things that high school would be like. I t would be like you are on cloud nine one day and then you would be in a torture house called school the next day. There are many things for you to look forward to. You could try out for sports or be in school clubs. You would also have cooking class. If you like doing work on a farm then FFA (future farmers of america) is calling you name. There is…
