The year is 1989. I just got out of Psychology class and I’m sitting on the grass in the quad surrounded by brick, school buildings. The bright blue sky is in deep contrast with the white clouds that the sun is currently hiding behind. This is my sophomore year at Muskingum University. I begin to think about my boyfriend, Kyle. I’m 5’1, my head comes to his chest. He has unruly, brown hair that reminds me of a chocolate bar when the sunlight hits it. I stand up, wipe my jeans off, then walk on…

I think that John Dewey said it well in his quote. That all life revolves around education. Every day no matter what you do you are somehow educating yourself.

There were three others that came to my elementary school who were also in the program, one of them being my best friend now. The…
The Belton School District would benefit greatly from an alternative education program. Currently the Belton High School offers a credit recovery class, where students who are struggling can take or retake courses online. While the credit recovery program has shown to benefit some, its impact is not adequate. An alternative education program would be necessary for all K-12 students in the Belton School District.
