Coursework

taught in schools1. Prior to 1994 art classes were not seen as a major requirement in schools and were only taken by students with interest if the school offered the classes. Fine arts have been introduced to schools in the form of courses as well as coursework within courses that do not have a focus on art. Fine arts affect students in several different ways, many of which are positive. Effects of fine arts include allowing students to discover a passion for fine arts such as visual art and…

I have always been surrounded by Hispanic culture, but I have never been a part of it. Growing up in El Paso, Texas, I was raised in a community with multicultural influences. I would hear Spanish being spoken, but it was always from a distance. Moreover, even though it is part of my own Puerto Rican heritage, I did not grow up in a household that spoke Spanish. It wasn’t until I transferred to Texas Tech University that my interest in Hispanic culture expanded and became my focus. I was…

I also know there are specific growth areas where I continue to focus as I move forward in my career. As a…

I enjoy all of my A-level subjects, and I want to continue with as many as possible, so I am applying for Natural Sciences. I am eager to study in more depth the areas that I have found interesting, as well as to explore new topics. For me, Human Biology currently stands out as the most exciting field, as I can see at first hand its applications and effects, and constant developments mean there is always something new to learn. It is this dynamic side of science which I want to be involved in.…

Though, the Civil Rights Movement helped achieve equal opportunities for all races, Bonilla-Silva contended that there is still racial inequality that is still rooted in American society. When it comes to racism, she proposed four frames of color-blindness that deals with racial issues in the United States. The four frames of color-blindness: 1) Liberalism explains the dominance of a group that sees every group gaining access to education, housing, and employment. This frame demonstrates the…

community. I would communicate with students over the phone and during their semester long class called “Freshman Seminar”. Also, I co-taught the class with a faculty member as well as an administrator, giving information on multiple topics involving coursework, registration and campus life activities. My studies have instilled in me the importance of hard work, dedication as well as the importance of enjoying the moment. This, ultimately, will help me in becoming successful in optometry school…

Throughout my career as a student, I never gave much thought as thought as to what was the meaning of history. To me it was the study of past events, the boring ones, the gruesome ones, and the embarrassing ones, but after doing some readings assigned to our class, I think I came up with my own personal definition of history. History is the study of things that happen in the past, the previous day, that present day that could matter tomorrow. To me history is everyday that you live, somewhere…

opportunity. It was because I wanted to uncover what was hidden between the walls of science. This was my opportunity to discover, on my own, what I wanted to do. Throughout my four years at the medical academy, I developed a foundation of medical coursework. These courses helped me discover the true meaning behind what it means to be in the medical field. At times, like any student, I would question myself. I would ask myself “Is this what I really want to do?”, “Will I be happy in my…

As the youngest of five, and of those siblings, three are brothers, I can relate to Sally from the chapter 14, Busybodies and Other Fact Tattlers. I always enjoyed tattling on my older brothers, no matter what it was. From the Focus on the Family story, I believe stating that whether Sally had the right intentions of tattling or not was a fantastic point to bring up. Looking back to why I tattled was more for the reasons of making myself look superior to my parents, or in some cases, because…
