PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT I developed strong work ethic, perseverance, and a good sense of humor from my parents. I have known the value of education since a very tender age; so I have always seen the sky has my limit. Every day is a gift to be embraced wholeheartedly. It is our job to fill that day with a hopeful and meaningful purpose. It has been said that “the most important thing in life is to live your life for something more important than your life” William James. It is deeply rooted…
A private college education or a public one? The significant contrast between state funded colleges and private schools is the way they are financed. This influences private undergrads since subsidizing is fixing to educational cost costs and state governments pay for the greater part of the cost of working state funded colleges. Private and state-supported universities have various resemblances and complexities. Starting in affirmations, both sorts of universities have practically identical…
John Locke and Alan Blinder build their arguments around the formation of a government that would maximize benefits for the American people. Although Locke and Blinder have two different arguments, they are not entirely contradictory. John Locke’s main argument for the ratification of the constitution was to control political factions from possibly gaining power.

The film “If…” by Lindsay Anderson is an allegory of the risks of repressing sexual desires with extreme repercussions for doing so, with imagery starting from the opening sequence with a young student caressing a peach while another watches intently, and ending with the extreme act of violence that Mick Travis uses instead of sating his sexual desires. The entirety of the film places the students and subjects of the film within the seeming prison like system of their boarding school, which…

Ever since I could remember I wanted to be a nurse. This dream became clear to me when I needed to take care of my mother after she was sick my sophomore year of high school. Seeing her sick and the lack of care she received at the hospital gave me this burning passion to help others; to be the one to make a difference. Nursing is a career that required an extreme level of responsibility. The four nursing meta paradigm concepts we’ve talked about include; person/client, environment, health, and…

A major problem we face in public schooling is how we have deal with teacher accountability. Teacher performance has a huge impact on the success of the students. A good teacher can cover around 150% of the curriculum, while a bad teacher will usually only cover 50%. Teacher tenure, a product of unions, protects public school teachers from being fired, and it is usually obtained between 1-5 years. Once a teacher has tenure, they are not able to get fired, instead certain schools will trade their…
