Educational stage

I will like to extent sincere thanks to the almighty, my parents, my late head teacher of Crane Primary School, Mrs Purity Li, all the teachers, students, vendors and cleaners that would have been responsible for creating and shaping the firm educational foundation for which I stand today.…

Have you been to, or finished college? If not, have you ever been denied a job because of it? If you have been to college, are you struggling to pay off student loans? If you are any of these people, trust me, you’re not the only one. Many people are not able to attend college because it is too expensive. College tuition needs to be lowered to the point where most can afford it. If college tuition was lowered, many more people would be able to attend and get better jobs. There are many…

I learned a few things during my first year. One of the things I learned is called “Imposter Syndrome.” The term was first coined in 1978 by Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes “to designate an internal experience of intellectual phoniness.”[i] People suffering from imposter syndrome “maintain a strong belief that they are not intelligent” despite any evidence to the contrary (pg. 241). This study specifically studied high-performing women, but some of the causes of this syndrome also apply to men.…

Technology Journey 1 Technology has come a far way from where it first started off. The new and improved devices are becoming so advanced that it is mind-blowing what these gadgets can do nowadays. Today, I use technology on a daily basis and couldn’t imagine what my life would be like without it. I say that now, but about twelve years ago when I was in elementary school, I was just being introduced to the whole new world of technology. The first time I used a computer was in kindergarten back…

The United States is suffering an academic decline for the middle class families and families who are lower. Many students in financial need must spend a portion of their time taking on part time jobs while studying, while other students must worry about the loans that they have collected and how they are going to pay it off after graduation. The government meets minimal needs to help students in financial need to help pay off their college tuition and that college costs are becoming a factor…

Life at Holy Cross College is a place in which everyone has an opportunity to learn from one another. Since I started at the college during 2013 (year 8) I have been blessed with seeing teachers and students helping one another to grow, inspire each other and become the best version of them self that they can be. As I witnessed this I knew that I wanted to inspire and help contribute to the growth of my fellow peers. I want to evoke others to strive for their personal best and I think it is…

were hired as an educational consultant to the president of the United States and had to propose things concerning preschool education, not many things would be different than it is for grade school. Like primary and secondary school, I feel like it is essential for preschoolers to be receiving some sort of education based learning in a classroom environment. This type of education will prepare young children for what lies ahead of them in grade school and up. As an educational consultant I…

In secondary one, many of us are nervous to be going to high school and being with others that we weren’t necessarily with in elementary school. For me, though, it wasn’t the case; most of the graduating class from my elementary school also came to my high school. I was in a special program, The Accelerated Learning Program, with 29 other students from all over Laval. There were three others that came to my elementary school who were also in the program, one of them being my best friend now. The…

1. I used the phrase “school start times” in the University of North Florida’s OneSearch database to find this particular research study. I selected this research study, because it incorporates technology use into the school start time discussion. 2. Borlase, Gander, and Gibson (2013) stress the importance of sleep for teenagers. They often get less sleep than younger children, but need at least as much. Results from previous studies are shared, stating the importance of sleep during this time…
