Introduction Throughout the past four weeks we have been working on our own action research issue. I choose to research the factors behind why there are less female students taking higher level science courses during their junior and senior years of high school. Each week we added on new elements of action research starting with the questions, research purpose and literature reviews, to methodology, data analysis and communicating our findings. This course really opened my eyes to action…

in Marble Hill that stressed strong academics was scheduled to open this year on August 17, but will close permanently due to a financial shortfall from a decline in enrollment. The school on Whitley Road South was founded in 2003 and had added a high school in 2013-2014. It was serving around 70 students at the time of the closing. The school’s website noted at one point it served 130 students, coming from six different counties. In the August 1 letter to parents, Larry Ruff, chairman of the…

Pressuring a Master’s degree in Student Affairs and College Counseling from the University of Tennessee at Martin would allow me to work as a professional counselor within many roles in a university setting. In one of my past position as a financial Aid counselor, I enjoyed working with each student helping them with their financial planning for their 4 years of college, but the most important thing I enjoy was being able to encourage each student and having them know I was there if they had…

“To what extent do our schools serve the goals of a true education?” In order to accurately define an answer to that question, we must first identify what a true education is, as well as the goals of one. A true education is an education where students learn to think independently and to problem solve. The goals of a true education are to prepare students for real life. To rephrase the previously mentioned question: How far do our public schools go to prepare students for real life by being…

asks why I want to become a College Recruiter and I said that I want to help high school 's students stay on top of their work and know what they want out of this college experience because it can be a good experience or a bad experience. I also told her my personal experience in how it improved at Wayne State University and she asks can I go out with a Recruiter to tell the same story to high school students at Cass Tech High School on Thursday 11,…

futures. The SAT was designed to test a student’s academic knowledge and performance, but fails to do so today. Its credibility as an academic benchmark should be acknowledged, but the test should not be valued so highly. The SAT is far from perfect, yet high schools and colleges place much weight on it. Many prestigious universities will only accept students who have performed well on the SAT. The SAT ought to be revised or replaced in order to enable students of all types to display their…

The grading policy takes less stress off students and puts more stress on the faculty. Today, students just strive to make a 70 or above to pass and finish the course. The grading policy makes it easier for students to cheat or fail without any consequences. Students play the numbers in their head to see what grade they get so they don’t fail the course and have to go to summer school. Now, teachers run after their students to get them to turn in work so that they pass. However, the most effect…

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…

Setting different goals for myself isn’t a new concept for me. I have been doing this ever since my second year of wrestling, in the ninth grade. My wrestling coach gave us an assignment to make different goals that we wanted to accomplish through our wrestling carriers so I did, making my number one goal, “An undefeated season.” I worked so hard from there on out to accomplish my goal and my senior year I had the satisfaction of completing this goal. Unfortunately I did not apply this to school…
