Many young people have someone they can tell their deepest secrets to. In my case, my notebook in my phone holds my life. I write all-important things to me down, from my prayers to my finances. I like to type these things in my phone notebook for two main reasons. First, because I am a teenager and everyone knows all teens guard our phones with our life. It is rare that a teenager will ever lose their cell phone. Secondly, because in my phone note it will email them to me therefore they are…
In Unit two we have a lot learned about “Who Are You”. Many times as adults who are working and adults who have families we forget sometimes who we are. I have learned that we get so wrapped up in our careers and other obligations we lose ourselves in the process as an person. We can never say “no” to a family member or friend because we think that they need us. In so many times they don’t really need us. Also, in Unit two I have learned ten tips on how to achieve and become a better student.…
Opinion on Teaching To Kill A Mockingbird I strongly believe that To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee should be taught in school. It teaches children, teenagers, and even adults moral education and gives a history of what all went on “back then”. Jem states that “There’s four kinds of folks in the world.

Education is not measured by certificates or medals, but by personal wisdom and understanding. It requires personal evaluation, no one else can fully determine how much you…

Brown, Ann Liedel-Rice, and Pamela Soeder, discusses how teacher candidates today are mostly European-American and monolingual with little to no experience with diversity or perceive diversity in a negative way. This lack of experience and understanding could lead to problems in the classroom because teachers will have kids from all types of backgrounds and cultures. To become…
I have faced many challenges growing up that have taught me many lessons. Some of these lessons were learned simply while others were done so painstakingly. Thankfully, these lessons will follow me through my adulthood. I have developed integrity, dedication, and efficiency through my educational, life, and professional experiences, and these will help me to pursue a degree. My first job taught me a very important lesson, how to stay away from trouble. When I was 16 years old, I started working…

The best way for the school to spend a gift of $5,000 would be two different possibilities that I would argue. I would argue that the school should buy physical books or more personal chromebooks.
