The Glass Castle is an inspiration story that has inspired a lot of people to write and or talk about their own hardships in life. In life most people are born without a mental illness and they go through life not knowing what it is like to have one unlike me. When I was born I had Dyslexia and ADHD so I had a hard time in english, reading and staying awake for most of the day. I could never understand social cues or slang so I was out casted from my class because it seem like I have a curse and…

I think most people dream in their head about how well they want the game to go or picture exactly how they want their life to turn out. For me those dreams in my head never seem to be what actually happens. When I went to the high school basketball games in middle school I would look over at the girls in the front row of the student section and only dream about what it would be like to sit in the front row, as seniors, with my best friends and cheer on our boyfriends that were star players. The…

Parents usually spend more one on one time with them and are able to direct or educate them in those particular areas. This gives the child opportunity to practice what they want to do for a possible future job or career. Whereas, with public school teachers, because they are often in a room full of students, the teacher may not always be able to recognize all of their student’s abilities and encourage them in their areas of…

problematic with children and how they are taught the “school board’s way.” From teaching different ways to count to twenty, to having children take too many tests, the school board’s plan is to have a better education system in order for children to go to college and get adequate careers. Many folks say that there is a hole within the school board’s plan to educate our children today. Many disagree and say that the education is just fine. The school board is not adapting to the needs of…

are minors and therefore I couldn’t apply most of the things I had been taught to do as a mentor. I could only communicate with my students during school and one-on-one contact is prohibited with minors. How do I build a friendship when I can’t talk to them? Not only that, I was applying training and techniques meant for a college setting to a high school. I found inviting the UCAS students to come to activities on campus wasn’t working. A lot of activities are during the day when sophomores…

In secondary one, many of us are nervous to be going to high school and being with others that we weren’t necessarily with in elementary school. For me, though, it wasn’t the case; most of the graduating class from my elementary school also came to my high school. I was in a special program, The Accelerated Learning Program, with 29 other students from all over Laval. There were three others that came to my elementary school who were also in the program, one of them being my best friend now. The…

what to do, but you are forced to pick between the things that interest you the most. What I enjoyed the most was playing basketball in high school. I grew up playing basketball at the beginning of middle school up to senior year in high school. Although I loved playing, it started to negatively impact my studies. I would spend hours practicing after school that by the time I got home I was worn out. I was told that if I wanted to graduate with my class that I would need to be able to find…

The Belton School District would benefit greatly from an alternative education program. Currently the Belton High School offers a credit recovery class, where students who are struggling can take or retake courses online. While the credit recovery program has shown to benefit some, its impact is not adequate. An alternative education program would be necessary for all K-12 students in the Belton School District. Alternative education is more than just sitting a student behind a computer.…

time does fly when you 're having fun. High school flew by even though it lasted four whole years. It felt much shorter than that. There were so many useful things that I learned throughout my high school career, and they weren 't only things that were taught to me in the classrooms. I learned so much from my friends, from my teachers, from the mistakes I made, and the people who weren 't exactly my friends. During my years in high school and even middle school, I changed so much as a person and…
