Both personal experiences and leadership opportunities have motivated me to pursue the development of my leadership skills. To begin with, I have been interested in leadership opportunities that are offered or that can be created since I was a young student. In elementary school I searched for ways to get involved. In grade 4, I was a Kindergarten Playground monitor. Once a week, I would go outside to play with the Kindergarten students, help them get dressed for outdoors and assist them if…

On June 23, 2000, my mother gave birth to a child and named her Sherry Ong. She is the second child and the last of the Ong family. At the age of five, my path of education began. I attended Homecrest School of Music for elementary school. As a child I wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment field. I devoted all my time on improving my clarinet and vocal abilities. I joined every talent show starting second grade and did whatever I could to get recognition from my teachers and family.…

there and back. This happening five days a week for four years is a lot of wasted money for all the local taxpayers. In my opinion this is completely wrong because families in the school district are paying for that open enrolled student to attend our High school and his family is not even paying taxes in our…

years, a lot has happened and my mother has remained strong and the profound person in my life. In 2011, my mother was offered a job promotion at Verizon Wireless to become a district manager in Tennessee. At this point, my brother had just graduated high school in June and was planning to stay in Minnesota to go to college and get on his own two feet. Therefore, the two of us moved to Tennessee two weeks after the offer and we chased the dream and moved with an open mind. Overall, in the last…

consideration when making a decision and then she makes sure to listen to what her conscience has to say and if she is supported by with the decision that she is making. An example would be when she was making the decision to do an extra semester of high school after grade twelve to boost up her marks or to go to university with the marks that she already has from completing grade twelve. Of course that is a hard decision, but she had to make up her mind. It was either she falls back a semester…

Should We Say Goodbye to Homework? Kindergartener Kade Moser walked off of the bus after his first day of school. He thought: “Wow, that wasn’t awful. A school day isn’t that long.” But little did he know, sitting in his bag was pages of math problems and alphabet practice. The sad thing is, it never got any easier. To this day, Kade is still dealing with the struggle of homework. On a normal school night, his family will be in the basement hanging out while he is upstairs working on…

So instead of going on family trips to exotic countries or going to the pool, my summers consisted of me helping my father sell fruit and vegetables in the back of a van. But those summer days of helping my father ended the year of my high school years. The reason for this was because my parents were separating. My sisters, my mom, and me had to pack up most of our belongings and go live with my grandmother. That summer was the first summer in such a long time that I wasn’t in the white…

I knew how they felt. Like any other 14-year-old who 's making that transition into high school, they were scared. All of them had the same fears of coming high school. They were all scared they were going to get lost, be late to class, or be made fun of at school. Like Simon Sinek said in the TED Talks video, he stated that humans constantly live in fear and the only way…

The most rewarding part of nursing is to be able to help people as a career. However, it is not always as nice as it sounds to be. I was stroked with an event during my clinical rotation in the last year of my nursing school 1993 that influenced my decision making in my nursing career. A 7 year old boy was brought to ER who was a severe burning victim with no one inch of normal skin. The kid, coming from a very low income family, suffered from the burning accident in a concrete trash house came…
