DeWitt Clinton High School

meat on my bones, so I did. Around my 8th grade year summer, before entering high school, my whole body changed. I’m not sure if it was me finally reaching adolescence, but I sure did change my eating habits. I finally started to gain some weight, but my body was still in shape because I have always been an athlete. I have been playing soccer for as long as I could remember and it always kept me fit. Throughout my high school years, I remained lean and tall, but I was eating a lot. Senior year,…

The school club allowed me to see the importance of what this group of peoples can do for the school and the communities. As I was getting involved with the clubs, I had a great opportunity, created by the school, to help the homeless people, people with inconvenient health, little children, seniors and ext. As I was helping either directly or indirectly, I…

student’s future, but in the novel Normal is crazy by Lloyd Lofthouse, he tells us that there still some out there. Mr. Lofthouse taught at a high school in Nogales. The high school was settled in a town where gang banging was occurring. At the time where he entered to teach there he knew it wasn’t going to be easy, most of his student’s weren’t even interested in school. He believed that if he would push his student’s, they would be more interested in looking forward into going into college. So…

opportunities. What I am going to discuss is if there is really a “better option” of the type of school everyone should be aiming to go to. Which college, a community college, for-profit school, or four-year university, will take a student farther in life and give the most benefits (graduation and a degree)? From the research, I have concluded that out of the three types of schools—community colleges, for-profit schools, and…

Ethnographic Research Paper: Life History (Geronimo Hernandez) The topic that I choose is the life history of a Mexican man by the name of Geronimo Hernandez. The reason why I choose to do a life history of a Mexican man is because I can relate with that person and I have knowledge of traditions and know some of the struggles Mexican people face as a community. I like Mr. Hernandez have come to this country to live a better life and have left a different life style back in our Country like many…

happened while the 1918 education act was in force or before it became policy. The educational system has a historical context because before the 1902 education act was introduced, the educational system had the 1870 education act which brought in school boards. The 1870 education act had helped towards the increase of elementary education within the…

supports these opinions by using memories from his past experiences. He uses quotes from different people and magazines to back his opinions too. Throughout this article Moore uses pathos, ethos, and logos to help build on his claims about the American school system and the education level of the country. Most of Moore’s article was pathos, but there were some ethos and logos. The terms pathos, ethos, and logos are Greek terms people…

On March 9, 1998, Sonya Edwards gave birth to me at Wallace Thompson hospital in union county. In august of 2004, I attended my first prom at Foster Park Elementary School. I was so excited to dance and see all of my friends. During the month of March in 2004, I started my first year of playing soft-ball for CB Breaks. This was something I had wanted to do because I’ve always looked up to my father. As a child I always went to my dad baseball games on the weekend. I seen him knock many home-runs…

One of the reasons I am most excited about becoming a high school agricultural science teacher is the opportunity that is available to influence students’ lives. I did not realize how much of an impact all of my teachers had on me until I began school at Texas A&M Whether it was good or bad, they helped me become the person I am today. I will forever be grateful for the lessons they taught me, and for their influence on my career choice. My results for the Texas Genuine Assessment were a…

School uniforms are not universally utilized throughout the world. In fact, across the globe people of color are significantly more likely to attend a school that mandates uniforms. Given this, one might postulate that communities of color value school uniforms and therefore, utilize them more often. This paper will suggest that this is not the case and demonstrate the role that colonialism and systemic oppression play in the widespread use of uniforms on students of color. This is increasingly…
