I see their struggles and I see the difficulty they have in their everyday lives. And at the same time, I see that my classroom is a safe-zone for them to explore and become self-reflective. My aim is to create an environment where learning becomes lifelong habit rather than a semester long chore. My professional experience expands over 20 years, having worked in the private, public and…

Jennifer Vanderbes’ (2004) Easter Island novel tells a story of two women who visited the island 60 years apart. In 1912, Elsa Pendleton was arranged to marry her father’s colleague, Edward Beazley after her father’s death. In hopes of caring for Elsa and her mentally impaired sister Alice, Elsa accepts the marriage proposal.

One article states, “The attack force left the airport at about 2:30. There were risks, of course. Conducting the maneuver at midday instead of at night left the commandos exposed to ground fire as the choppers hovered over the rooftops of Mogadishu's teeming slums. Still, "when somebody nibbles on the line, you have to pull the fish out of the water, even…

Personal Statement: I strapped on my waders and began walking toward a manatee carcass. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) marine mammal biologist proceeded to instruct me on how to perform my first field necropsy. Through this research experience I got to understand the internal anatomy of a manatee, outside of textbooks. Therefore, research allows me the opportunity to tangibly investigate my curiosity. The manatee has always sparked my curiosity because humans are their…

During my eighth grade year, I had to make an important decision: deciding which high school I wanted to attend. I had only one high school in my mind, which was Eastside High School because it was the school I was zoned to attend. Then, Carolina High School’s Engineering and Health Academy Magnet Coordinator came to my middle school and talked about the programs offered there. I visited three different schools to experience the atmosphere and environment. I asked questions about the academic…

They’ve been around for quite some time - long before anyone began developing…

intervene in conflicts, more lives get spared as a result. The Somalia peace operation, for example, cost 18 American lives, but ultimately resulted in saving the lives of most Somali people from starvation. Not only are lives of people in conflict zones spared and often times improved, but the nations that participate in peace operations have a unique opportunity to work with one another and relate with each other. This helps bridge the divide between people of different nationalities, faiths…

Collaborative planning as a process was a fantastic experience in the sense it allowed for the creation of such a variety of ideas and thoughts to create a sequence of investigative science lessons. The initial group discussion about the direction of our lessons began as sharing and jotting down main learning intentions, approaches, teaching methods, learners needs and resources. Collaborative curriculum planning was effective once we figured out the best possible way to contribute our ideas…
