Also if tests were meant to lift children up and improve their education, the United States wouldn’t have “slipped from 18th in the world in math in 2000 to 31 place in 2009, with a similar decline in science and no change in reading.” With results such like those it has become clear that America needs to reevaluate their method of improving the education system.

At first, the thought of seeing God daily seemed next to impossible because it’s not everyday that someone experiences a miracle. I realized that God makes Himself known all the time, but I don’t always notice Him because I am too caught up in the world around me. God does not need to perform a miracle to reveal Himself, but rather He reveals Himself through the people, places, and events around us. From this class, I was able to see the presence of God more clearly, and started to look for him…

Motivation with Music When I began teaching language arts, I thought, how in the world I would motivate middle school kids to be interested in learning to read and write better? I even went so far in my thinking to wonder if I could even stir a passion within them for at least some of the elements of this class. I began looking within myself and thinking of the things I was passionate about at their age and the one thing that kept coming to mind was music. Even this initial thought moved my…

every time we finished a book, with a minimum of five per trimester. I hated doing these reflection projects, so my quantity of reading fell further to just five books every three months. However, the final nail in the coffin of my reading came in eighth grade. On the first day of school, the teacher informed us that the only genre we would be allowed to read for out reading logs, which were unnecessarily complicated, was nonfiction. Up until the point, I had rarely so much as laid hands on a…

When I was 13 years old I loved wrestling. I grew up with it with my family all my life. Determined to join the eighth grade wrestling team in middle school, I made the team with no hesitation in October. I arrived to every single practice and did my work and then left to go home. Concentrated on the first match of my wrestling career all I was wanting was to achieve my first victory. As weeks have passed and in November I was told of my first couple of matches. Training extra just to prepare…

The church has undergone many reconstructions throughout the years. Over three churches were rebuilt in that spot until Justinian created Hagia Sophia and that is what is there to this day. Justinian is definitely in a place to be honored for the greatness that he accomplished. He set an example for others that greatness could be achieved and to be proud of their religion. He built Hagia Sophia to let others understand the superiority of Christianity by building an immense church with a…
