Liturgical year

Throughout my elementary school years, from grades kindergarten to 5th grade, I attended a small private school in the town that I lived. My school was, Lake Area Christian and though there are some aspects of my time at this school that I regret, there are many things that I am grateful for. Attending such a small school during my earlier years really helped me begin to acclimate with other children on a smaller scale and learn to navigate looking different than other children. The smaller…

Self-Reflection This college semester went very well for me, compared to last semester. I have all A’s and B’s thus far in my classes. Although I focus the majority of my effort in my Nursing classes. Some obstacles that I have encountered would be dividing my time between school and my family and friends. I have coped with this by spending my weekends with my loved ones when I do not have to study for that small period of time. Being a commuter is also a struggle that I face going to…

Another problem that I had during the school year was dropping too many classes to where I did not meet the 67% completion rate. By taking 14 credit hours I will not be able to drop any class otherwise I will fall below the full time student requirements. The reason I did not meet the required amount of hours this school year was due to failing classes. The classes I failed this year were Biology, Biology Lab, Micro Computer Applications and College Algebra. Since…

article Oldest Known Mayan Calendar Debunks December 2012 Myth, it quotes “ Archaeologists excavating at Xultun, a Maya site in Guatemala, have discovered a room thought to have served as a workshop for scribes and a calendar priest more than 1,200 years ago. Its walls are adorned with remarkably preserved paintings and writings, including calculations related to the Mayan calendar.” This shows how the Mayans also conversely used a calendar to keep track of time. Accordingly, the Mayans…

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…

Of everything related to comprehension that was covered in class, I found close reading and text complexity to be the most important. Close reading essentially is comprehension, as it requires a complete understanding of the text. By rereading multiple times and breaking down individual sections of the text, the reader is able to gain increased comprehension than he or she would have otherwise. I have also reviewed my previous reflections in order to evaluate how to best correct my common…

My schooling began when I was about 3-years-old in my country – Jamaica. It was called “basic school” that is the equivalent of kindergarten. There I learned letter sounds in the alphabet, writing the letters and simple mathematics. The building was one large room, with seating that resembled parks tables with the benches attached. The seating capacity for one bench was four. If, the classroom was over crowned six students was put together. My home was close to the school, so I walked to…

In other words, what have I learned through my education? Have I been trained in one special area or have I gained an education not only in one area, but also in learning about myself and who I am? According to Webster’s dictionary, education is defined by the development and training of one’s mind, character, and skills, as by instruction, study, or example and the knowledge and skill resulting from such instruction and training. By this definition, one might argue that being educated means…

bright, young mind in his earlier years, but seems to have a gradually increasing obsession with his idea of perfectionism as the years go by. Over many years, Crake realizes that there are many qualities about the human race that he finds to be negative. Crake feels the need to do something about this, which is why he decides to work on a project that he feels would benefit humanity, but actually causes destruction. While Crake has shown examples…

Every year, thousands of students throughout the world spent their last year of high school applying for college to decide what will be the right choice in furthering their education. While a wide variety of students decide to proceed straight into college others would prefer to have a gap year. A gap year is when students take a year off away from the school. Students, who graduate from high school, should take a year off before starting a new chapter in life, therefore the gap year can allow…
