The American Dream What is it that keeps humans focused, giving them something to strive for in their live? It is the American dream. The definition of it is the ideal that every person should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. It is such a simple question, yet so complex in describing an ideal life because every person has a different perspective of it. There are many different achievements that people would define as…
with, l wanted to meticulously pick who l generally had a good character because my perspective of a good character might be different from someone else. Most of the people l interact with have neutral characters so that lowered my possibilities of picking someone l collaborate with , l thought about perhaps one of my teacher or someone that l once encountered in my past. I came to my decision to pick my health teacher Nathan Shirk., l would not say l have known him for a long time because l…
For my future I am aspiring to become a Financial Analyst. For the past few years this has become my dream. I have developed a liking with working in the financial and business field. My overall goal is to have my MBA (Master of Business Administration) as well as a degree in language. I have looked into over dozens of colleges and I have found quite a few that I think could be a good fit for me. My top college is NYU. They have a great Business and Finance program and I love the atmosphere that…
7 percent so that’s half of them here in the US. Life in Latin America is pretty rough, and jobs do not pay a lot of money. Another reason is because…
they live with, what sports they are in, if they have a job, and what they dream of their futures being. I then took the time to read each one of these. They took the time to write down personal things and so I take the time to read it—taking it beyond the typical “filler” first-day activity. If someone joked off in it, I asked them to redo it. This immediately let the students know that I have high expectations on everything that they do in my classroom. I try to mention things that I read…
Salaries for high school teachers with fifteen years of experience and the minimum level of education and training required to be certified exceeded $40,000 in Denmark, Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands and exceeded $60,000 in Switzerland. In the United States, it was $35,000. With statistics like this, people wonder why anyone would want to be a teacher. Teaching is not for everyone. I personally tell people “you do not understand why people would want to teach, unless you want to teach.”…
me over my high school years whether it be my teachers, advisors, parents, or friends. Although all have had a great impact on my life at some point, I have to say the person who had the biggest significance on my life was easily my 8th grade teacher, National Honor Society Advisor, and mentor: Mrs. Mindi Phelps. Having first met her as my 8th grade English teacher, I did not know how much this woman would mean to me now, as a senior in high school. She believed in me and pushed me out of my…
There I was, a young boy, waiting with my family in the hospital and the Surgical Assistant was taking care of my younger brother’s infected pre-auricular sinus. Ignorantly, I asked why he didn’t cut it open to relieve the pain quickly. The assistant replied, “That is the job of the surgeon.” I was fortunate enough to be allowed on to the surgical observation deck and was enthralled by what I saw. I fell in love with surgery instantly but my decision to actually become a surgeon was a gradual…
education is the definite way to become successful in life. The most obvious fact is that the only jobs available without a college education don 't pay a wage enough to live. But, people still hold the stereotype of community college being the last option. I believe that going to community college outweighs attending a regular university. In the 50s and the 60s many Americans made going to college their dream. Soldiers coming back from the war were able to use benefits from the GI Bill to pay…
into Middle School my school merged with two of the surrounding towns. I was excited to meet new people and to have a new set of teachers. This was the same year my Dad 's company transferred its location from Connecticut to South Africa. My Dad was given the option for the company to relocate us as well, I was so excited to move to South Africa. My Mom said absolutely no way we were going to move out of the U.S. I was extremely disappointed. My Dad was quickly able to find a job in Maryland and…
