Junior Tameka Judson and her friends have started Project Pillowcase, a project designed to create colorful pillowcases for children at the hospital. The project started after Tameka watched the news over winter break and was inspired to help the children in the hospital. After the…

I was blind the whole time. Didn’t see it coming. My parents had brought it to my attention for nearly 9 months, but I never though that it was actually happening. My very first day of third grade seemed that it was going to be like any other school day. My teacher, Ms. Mascari had given us our syllabus that was to be turned in within the week. I met up with all my friends from the year before. Everything seemed in order that day. Until the bell rang at precisely as I remembered it: 1:30…

agree with on subjects ranging from petty things like where to eat to important topics like religion, But I’m not going to get that heavy so early in the course but I’ll start with something light. This is how I tried to persuade to my group of high school friends why the Beatles are/were the best band. The main point of my argument was that the Beatles are the best band of all time based on what they accomplished in barely one decade to popular music and their lasting effect on musicians to…

friendships and discover who you truly are. You will find your niche. Yet, looking back on my Sophomore and Junior years, I lack memories of Friday night lights followed by going to the newest movies with friends. Instead, the absence of a normal high school experience is replaced by reminiscing on phone calls to strangers in all fifty states to share my passions. I can reflect on late night rallies of thousands of people gathered around to hear one man speak his mind. I flashback to weekends…

My proudest accomplishment is something I have been working very hard on over the course of my senior year. At my high school courses called dual credit are offered to seniors in the subject’s government and English. These courses are much more advanced seeing as they are actually EPCC courses and when completed students revive college credit for them if their semester averages out to at least an eighty. The most challenging class out of both that I am enrolled in is English 1301 which consist…

A Change of Setting Through a Change of Obligation The more advance education I receive and the phases of transition I face, I knew I had to change my priorities and set them straight. Throughout my educational journey my prospective had change due to the fact the setting and expectations is continuously changing. The more I advance the more difficult and challenging it had become. In Scudder and Shaler they were greatly challenged to think out-side-the-box by their instructor. It was…

inverse relationship between delinquent behavior and attachment to teachers, school commitment, involvement in conventional activities, and positive beliefs (Ozbay and Ozcan, 2006). For Hart and Mueller (2012), they predict that social bond factors would be statistically significant and it will vary depending on an individual’s social economic status. In addition, they expect to find gender differences between social bonds and school delinquency. They also hypothesize that a negative…

become a widely debated in post-secondary institutions. Though higher thinking has always been valued in these institutions, critical thinking is a relatively new term that people are finding difficulty in defining and struggling to implicate in schools prior to post-secondary in order to prepare students. As many of the reports agree on, our secondary school education system fails to prepare students for the higher thinking skills required by post-secondary schools. (Holmes, DiCarlo, Kelly). I…

more accessible, some issues such as money, school locations, and an inadequate amount of qualified teachers due to overpopulated classrooms still persist. By improving education in Ethiopia, more students will be able to continue their education and dropout rates will decrease. Ethiopia, education is split into primary and secondary education. Children generally begin school at the age of seven. Primary…

Why do I deserve an award I believe deserve and award because I come from a single parent family and do my best to not let low income interfere with my schooling. Another reason is because when I went to Auto/Diesel trade school, my classmates weren’t very respectable, therefore my professors couldn’t give the few who wanted to learn the knowledge he was there to present all the time. With that said, it was mainly up the individual to take learning into their own hands. During my first year, my…
