Graduate school

favorite hoodie to add to my daily outfit. Biology has always interested me, and I have always tried to choose a science that has some relation to biology and it’s contents, but that is difficult being that certain sciences are required in order to graduate. As I looked over the list to choose my final science credit, I was drawn to Anatomy and Physiology immediately, knowing that this class was going to be the one. Although Anatomy and Physiology are not exactly like biology, I get to use…

Research In kindergarten, my teacher asked the class to draw what we wanted to be when we was grown ups. Crayons danced across sheets of ­paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night, when looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze of fire, and astronauts leaping across the moon. To all of us these careers were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds. Later…

When I was discussing the details of the internship with Dr. Hill, she expressed her concern about the food bank when she retired. Based upon her understanding surrounding the politics of the school, the food bank will close due. She explains that the ‘powers that be’ do not want that type of assistance associated with the community college. As it was discussed in class, higher education is suppose to lead to financial freedom. With this in mind, it is easy to see why an institution of higher…

Philosophy of Mental Improvement, it is stated that, “Mental activity is an invariable condition of knowledge. Mind must think in order to know, and probably must know whenever it thinks.” This quote displays that we are designed to learn. From attending school, reading the newspaper, or spontaneously joining a mission in a foreign country, we are always learning. Education guides us through life and prepares us for everything…

believe children should have the opportunity to discover the world around them and to be allowed to be curious and pursue their curiosity on whatever subject that gain their interest. As teachers, it's our job to feed that curiosity that children have and make learning an opportunity to discover, learn, and to enjoy. I believe learning is sometimes challenging, but it can be fun as well. Children have the ability to take in charge of their decisions and when they choose something they want to…

In a world like ours, education may be the only key for a better future. Most of us have not acknowledged the fact that this may be the only way to success, but that may be because everyone has had a transformative educational impact. We will come upon this academic transformation whether we are an infant, adolescent, or a young adult. However, rather than me having to face this on a specific age group, I am still currently experiencing this educational transformation. I have been impelled by…

The biggest hurdle to accomplishing this feat is time. With so much training, lesson plan development and so on, setting aside time to meet with parents of EBD children seems like a daunting task. Especially if an educator limits themselves to only their “on the job” hours. Although that mindset is just horrible, as a mentor to countless students, one is never “off the job”. There is nothing wrong with quick correspondence, emails or a phone call, to get some quick information or ideas on how to…

that greatness can be achieved in and out of the school setting. The idea that inspirational teaching and learning can be achieved is hard to sell at first, but with dedication, the ideal will spread through the school. Each student will react differently to a style of education that is different from any other approach the child has encountered. There are many programs dedicated to achieving greatness and many have been set into action in schools, but many have never been adopted. Some…

So, what have you eaten today? For some the thought of food brings guilt, to others it is a social or pleasurable experience and to all it is the staple of life. As Americans we have been blessed with so much of an abundance of food that we take it for granted. It’s with ease and accessibility of eating whatever and whenever we desire food. In our country of plenty there is a hidden epidemic growing in our communities. The alarming reality is that 21.6 % of American children live in food…
