Once she finished reading to us, now we sit at our color orientated tables learning the alphabet and numbers. Singing our, a, b, c 's, and our one, two, threes, while subtle music plays in the background. Those memories are some of the first I have of learning to read and write. Starting kindergarten is when I finally started to compose sentences, although…

Career and College Research Paper “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teachers explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires” (“A Quote by William Arthur Ward”). I believe strongly that a teacher can change the life of her or his students. My dream job is to work in the Early Education field of teaching, specifically I would like to be a kindergarten teacher. Teaching is more than it appears. As I have learned, it involves handling kids from good homes, kids from…

disengagement within schools (Smalls et al., 2012; Chavous et al., 2008; Dotterer et al., 2009; Wong et al., 2003), which has ultimately gotten them suspended or placed into special education tracks at disproportionate rates (Morris & Perry, 2016; Gibson et al., 2014; Guy, 2014; Noguera, 2014; Davis et al., 1994; Carter & Wilson, 1992; Garibaldi, 1992; Polite, 1993).

learning the different ways to effectively deliver messages to the audience. Another style of writing I would likely use is team collaboration. I personally expect a lot of fun with team assignments because there were not much of them during my high school years. I would enjoy sharing ideas and arguing opinions with my classmates. Lastly, the style of writing that I will likely use and would like to learn the most is reports. Report is the most unfamiliar style of writing for me because I have…

choose a school that didn 't stress me out about those test scores. I choose Lakeland Community College. It was the fall of two-thousand and fifth-teen my senior year in high school!

serious hobby. I have accompanied my high school choirs, orchestras, and bands numerous times in concerts and competitions. Shortly after I started piano lessons I joined my school 's orchestra and choir class. I chose to play viola and sang soprano in the choir.

The idea popped into my mind when I was in middle school, and I have…
