Boarding Schools (6-8 pgs) Although they weren’t referred to as Boarding Schools, the practice of sending children to other families or schools, so that they can learn together, is a long standing tradition. Today you can find records of this tradition in classical and modern day literature. Some of the most well-known books include Harry Potter, The Catcher and the Rye, and The Series of Unfortunate Events. If you were to journey to the UK, you would find that the tradition of sending boys away…

I still remember the day I saw my dad walk out the front door, and the note he left on the shiny white stand. My mother reading it and my grandmother consoling her; he left my siblings, my family, and I with nothing. I remember that day as if it were yesterday, I just remember feeling cold, unsafe, and unloved. My mother grew up in a society in which sociologists call it upper class. Her family had a lot of money back in our country in which she never had to learn how to cook, clean, or do any…

Graduating high school and entering college is a monumental step coming from a family where no one has ever been to college. Financial aid was one of the assets I would use to help pay for my first semester of college. It seemed like an easy process until I actually went through it. Getting the runaround from a financial aid office advisors, almost getting dropped from all my classes, and holds were put on my account. It was really a bunch of bullshit and I almost said fuck school. The…

When someone asks me what is the biggest obstacle I’ve overcome I always answer saying, learning English, but deeply in my heart I know that I haven’t overcome my true obstacle because my real obstacle is trying to make a future in this country. As a Hispanic migrant and undocumented, I face hardships every day. One of them is that even though I meet all the requirements, I am restricted to apply only to certain colleges and scholarships because of my citizenship status. This situation makes me…

After surviving the relentless application process, getting accepted into college, and paying thousands of dollars in tuition, it is hard to imagine why anyone would drop out of college. For some, the college experience is a cherished memory – the best four years of their lives – while for others, it is a life changing battle. It is an unfortunate shame when students drop out, and it is to both the university and students’ benefit that students graduate on time. The best way to increase the…

When I think back upon all of the life changing experiences I have encountered in the past, I tend to give myself a pat on the back. Because when I look back, I see all that I have overcome and accomplished with the help of my mother, brothers and role models. Nevertheless I can honestly say that I am proud of who I am today, who I 've grown up to be. I am currently seven-teen years of age and I will be eight-teen years old in two weeks. I am undeinably positive that I have been in a greater…

In accordance with it’s renowned quality, teaching is a highly competitive field. Universities have a two part entrance exam that tests for academic qualifications as well as looking to determine your personal suitability and motivation (Malinen, Väisänen, & Savolainen). Only ten percent, or one in ten, of prospective teachers are selected to move on (Carey). Once accepted into their chosen university, they are divided into different programs depending on whether they want to teach a core…

Without curriculum there would be no focus or purpose in education. Curriculum is a stable aspect in the dynamics of education, and requires knowledge of its history, behaviors, and social complexities in order to be a benefit. Moreover, there is no one way to design curriculum, but undoubtedly requires finessing and scrutinizing to ensure it works with the school’s statement of purpose. This paper analyzes the curriculum of Clement Middle School in Redlands California including its…

The United States should make a law that provides funds for more people who want to go to college and get educated. This is important because people can have a successful life if the US made a new law to help them. If there is a new law that made funds, then we can have fewer problems with our community. After researching the topic, I’ve search up on a material that proves that there is a way to make things better for everyone. People are just giving up their goals because the things they want…
