But what, or who, made these men into what they are known for? My moral code has been…

Over centuries, the placement of students and children have changed, and this later causes a modification to the student in either a positive/ negative manner. The curriculum may depend on the teacher, but most likely it is based on where the child is placed in their school system.

Even though your father acted like a coach with no chill, he still managed to treat your three other bothers- I mean, brothers, with more respect than you ever received.

Education played a ginormous role in the construction of the Roman Empire. The Romans valued education only for its practical and everyday uses, unlike the Greeks who thought that education was very significant in all of its aspects. Without education, trading, military attack plans, and architecture would not have been possible. The Roman Empire thrived because of its achievements in scholarly efforts in mathematical and technological advancements. In ancient Rome, a man would usually receive…

The Powerball anticipation ended on January 13th, 2016 with three winners to split a record $1.6 billion jackpot. If I were the winner of even a portion of that amount, I would definitely devote my portion to my family, but most importantly to the career that has allowed me to make a difference in many students’ lives. I would want to change the world similar to Bill Gates by spending more than $220 million on the Common Core education standards (Elkind, P. pg. 50). Our education system has been…

Sitting under dark blue sky getting the whiff of freshly mowed grass was enchanting looking back trying to figure out where I went wrong ‘Why did he do this to me? How could I be so naive? He knew from the beginning that all I ever wanted was the truth’. My palace under the stars was almost like I could reach up and grab them, it hypnotized me. I was talking to one of my really good friends, Miriam, late at night just sitting on the queen size bed in my room. We were talking about my latest…
