Molding

Becoming an educator is one the noblest professions an individual can go into. A teacher can have a powerful impact in a student’s live, both positive and negative. Teaching is one of the few careers that directly affect the future of our nation, and though this may be considered a cliché, the truth of the matter is that you may have a larger impact on children’s lives than some of their parents. You spend hours upon hours with your students, whereas busy or career-driven parents may not have…

confront challenges, I could not have become the principal player in our school’s jazz band and wind ensemble. After several breakthroughs, I decided to share my inspirations to the younger generation. This year, I am one of the coordinators of the Molding Musicians program supported by the Cypress Boys and Girls Club, teaching the fifth and sixth graders how to play an instrument. I appreciate the fact that my achievements did not come from an easy work, but rather a persistent standing against…

As a registered nurse at Mercy hospital, I’ve always felt the need to further pursue my education. Getting my masters will not only give me the opportunity for growth, but give me a lineage to diagnose, treat, and medically care for patients more than I am right now. My knowledge will be more advanced and I will be able to make independent decisions regarding the care of my patients. I love taking care of people and making them happy. Ever since I was a little girl in Haiti, I envision myself…

Going into this course I was thinking: “Okay, Lisa, I have had a lot of experiences. What more can I possibly learn? I highly doubt that I will come away from this class learning something new.” But sure enough, I was wrong and you were right. For example, I always thought it was unhealthy to skip periods if a female is on birth control, but Planned Parenthood told me otherwise. It completely blew my mind that there is essentially no reason for a woman to have a period if she is not planning on…

All Who Wander May Truly Be Lost The process of curation is often seen as a process involving the molding and forming of a work of art, the dynamic behind curation is usually looked at backwards in the sense that the process is building something up rather than what it truly is which is tearing something down. Curation into beauty consists of shaping something by taking things away, and in The Lost Wax by Jericho Parms, the author shows this central theme throughout the book that a person is…

The fifth system, chronosystem, refers to historical, environmental, or life changing events experienced throughout child development. These specific incidences aided in molding the individual in some significant form. Personally, one of the most critical changes I experienced was getting a job as a water well-driller in the summer at sixteen years old to help my parents. The hours were long, usually seventy plus hours a…

Photography plays a vital role in framing trauma, such as in the events of the September 11 attacks; the many images produced in the wake of the tragedy shaped its transformation from a national trauma to history. For one, photography is a strategy for coping. A number of people have noted the desire to inexplicably record anything and everything for themselves during disaster, as if maybe capturing those moments would make them more real to their shocked selves or illustrate some hidden…

I am a senior at Miami High School and am currently enrolled in various rigorous courses designed for readying students for college. These courses include AP Calculus, AP Literature, and AP Environmental Science. In my junior year, I took two of the most vigorous and mentally challenging courses offered at my school, AP Language and Composition and AP Chemistry. Presently, my educational goal in high school is to raise my rank in my class because currently my unweighted rank is sixth out of one…

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you Jesus for molding me into who I am today. Although life isn’t “peachy”, I give glory and honor to God for who he’s shaping me to be. I was raised in a home where I knew about God through traditions and locations; however, I did not understand the concept of having a personal relationship with him. Being the youngest of three children, I constantly felt the need to prove myself and, therefore, battled with insecurity. When my early teen years…
