“What’s that ugly thing you 're wearing on your head? Are you bald?” Today was the first day back from winter break in the fifth grade I stood in line waiting for class to begin. I was nervous and excited because I decided to wear the hijab for the first time to school. That morning before school started I must have changed my outfit about a dozen times everything needed to look perfect. I wore a fuchsia colored blouse with flowers long black skirt and ballerina slippers I was dressed to impress…
education. In community college, when I first began, the “Student fear factor” definitely applied to me because I did not know what college was even about. I was so used to just being in high school where most people did not care if you made it to college, and my family was so busy with work and trying to keep up with rent and bills, that they had no time…
The Evolution of the “Cool” Kid In Elementary School, there was this one popular kid who was “cool” because he didn’t like to work and harassed people. He never put in much effort or excelled at anything in school, other than gym class. For the sake of confidentiality, let’s call this guy John Doe. John spent his elementary days goofing off and doing anything except for his school work. I remember the days of recess being some of the most fun I’ve had at school. All of the days outside seemed…
professional and individual level. (keep?) I first toured Idaho State during my junior year of high school, and I did not experience the typical ‘this is the university for me’ epiphany. I thought there was too many brown brick buildings, the rushing college students…
Throughout my adolescence, it was not easy finding a place to belong. I remember my first day in middle school, I had no idea how others will perceive me, how others will treat me, and how others will approach me. In the first few days in middle school, I was all alone. My friends either went to different schools, or they had different classes, so I had a choice between making new friends or secluding myself. I know that I will be a “loner” for the first few days or weeks of school, and I know…
to college? Many teens after they have completed secondary school are confused whether to pursue a career or not to but in reality they need to find out who they are and what they want to be before making the terrible mistake of wasting their money in something they are unsure of pursuing. Many people think that behind a college education it makes you a better person and one has better chances of succeeding in life but Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and many more millionaires did not have a college…

Diagnostic Essay – Expressing an Opinion College is not right for everyone. With that said, everyone is not college material. Some students are not ready to go off to college right after graduating from high school. Some students may not be mature enough to go off to college just out high school. So in my opinion it should be up to the individual if their ready to start college are take off a year before going to college (Unigo, 2015). However, some students need to sort things out. While most…
and physical brain damage. Also those who enter college sports may have been diagnosed with a concussion and will more likely get symptoms of a head injury. It’s important to be aware of individuals with the symptoms because 25% of athletes don’t report them while in field. I am interested in the athletes who don’t report their symptoms and would like to do more research on it. High Risk Gassel et al. (2007) reported that for both groups, college athletes are the ones at most risk compared to…
In the Campbell and Cosans v. the United Kingdom case presented to the ECHR back in September of 1981, mothers of the Campbell and Cosans family fought for their philosophical beliefs on how their children should and should not be disciplined. The case brought up very important stances on the right of a teacher enforce corporal punishment, and the right of a student being denied education because he or she did not want to receive corporal punishment. The claims began from two different schools…
