I Don't Know

Trying to explain learning to anyone is a challenge I think. I feel as though the term “learning” is not just one straight forward definition. If I had to explain it to someone who hasn’t taken this class, my old definition would have been simply any information gathered and stored in the brain through the use of our five senses. Taking this class, and critically reading the text given, has made me realize that my explanation of learning was only partially correct. After conducting a…

their function. He went on to theorize that thresholds inhabit the ‘tween’, as in places "in between", so that they’re not really one place at all, like a hallway, stairwell or doorway, or even the lip from a pathway to the rest of the woods. If one knows where to look, Clatwitt wrote, then thresholds are as numerous as days and nights, and just as scarce. A powerful Queen rules the other realm. She is said to be ever youthful and beautiful, and if she suspects a portal is particularly thin, so…

The location I live in is an area that lacks diversity. Throughout my schooling I have learned a great deal about learning with different cultures and remaining open and trying not to jump to conclusions that could potentially offend someone. However, we live somewhere where the culture is not rich. Most of the experience I have got working with other cultures has all came from professors and reading about other cultures. My location is one where there are many low-income individuals, and many…

YOU CAN GRADUATE COLLEGE DEBT-FREE For over 12 years, I have helped teens earn over $40,000,000 in scholarships, and in that time, I’ve learned one thing. There is no shortage of scholarships, there never has been, there never will be! There’s only a lack of knowledge on how to acquire them! After you read this e-book AND the series of short reads to follow over the coming months, you will be able to help me spread the word to those who don’t want to graduate with college debt. Your race,…

Why waste time/money on staff training if you don’t know what, if anything, your staff are learning? Investing time and effort in training employees (or volunteers/partners) and then never verifying how much they actually learned is short-sighted, penny-wise and pound foolish (a.k.a stupid). Certainly, everyone takes it for granted that certifications have a test associated with them. First Aid, Lifeguarding, WMIS, CPA and driver’s licenses all require testing to confirm that a minimum level…

I am taking this class because I’m interested to learn more about Asian American health issues. Before taking this class, I didn’t know Asian Americans had genetic health problems. Other than my uncle who passed away when he was young from eating too much sugar and dying from diabetes, my family has always been healthy. Family members who have died, have died from a genocide, natural causes, or a car accident. I’ve always been healthy my entire body which may be unsurprising because I’m young.…

I stare at the blank screen in front of me, with the words “Hi, I am Bishwa.” Unsure of what to do next. Unsure of what words that will follow. Getting someone else to know about me is harder than I thought. But then I look around myself – around my drawers, closet, my desk, my bed. All of them are in a particular condition. And I begin to wonder. What do these things say about me? So rather than telling about myself, I’ll save myself the trouble and describe these things. My desktop screen.…

perfect example of this is a child being sheltered their whole life, and when they graduate high school and go to college and are finally on their own. They see themselves changing and they learn things about themselves that they never knew before. I don't believe anybody is born any type of way. We change as time goes a long and with time things happen. Those events over the course of time make us the person we are today. Identity can be destroyed when we try to be…

potential through trial and error. When I moved from Magna to West Valley, I had switched schools. The new school I switched into implemented a reading log. I hated reading, it was one of my weakest skills. On the other hand, my mom loved reading. She wanted to share her favorite hobby with me, but I had absolutely no interest in it. She thought I would get into reading if I had something I was interested in, in that sense she bought me Hannah Montana books. I was totally engrossed with Hannah…

that category, but sadly the majority of us aren’t. I am an Immigrant, not originally from America. Yes, I did come here as a young child but I was raised in a traditional. I was raised to be aware of the blessing I have. I see that education is a blessing and not a privilege, most females in my culture don’t have an education because they don’t need one traditionally, they just need to know house chores. My value of education was put to test when I was denied the same level of education as my…
