Worse is better

Gateway is designed to help better prepare students for the new journey that is awaiting them. Students have so many new things ahead of them and a whole new world headed their way. Gateway is there to try and make their transition a little bit easier. When coming to college, students are now living on their own. This means stocking their own toilet paper, making sure their trash does not overflow too many times, and many other new things. Despite students being responsible for these things at…

the report was initially shocking, I made a commitment to learn from this feedback. After this weekend, I had already developed a plan of action to become a better leader, and to Inspire a Shared Vision with others. In this essay I will explore my leadership journey since the Pajaro Dunes, and outline the actions I took to become a better…

Cooper, it started young. He would play on the same team as his mom — another avid player — and soon graduated to playing against her. He first got really excited about the game when he played “QUAIL” for 81 points and realized that he was getting better. He started going to local Scrabble clubs at age 7, when his parents were no challenge for him anymore. And it’s there that Lucky 13 was formed. COOPER 1 COOPER: (6:01) We’ve been friends since fourth or fifth grade, when he heard about…

learning to build trust with and how to trust others; learning how to respect self and others; how to establish healthy boundaries for self and appreciating the boundaries of others; and learning how to resolve conflict in a constructive manner. Andy will attend these group sessions weekly for three months. If his weekly assessment scores consistently increase and stay higher than the baseline, and Stephanie and other staff agree they have witnessed improvements in his relationship skills, he…

to improve that team will probably do better compared to their competitors. There is a financial investment that can be put towards education and personal improvement of the leadership team but more than the education we need to look at the results that come from it. We want to make sure that our leaders are continuously…

Yet another one of my goals is to maintain my intellectual wellness. School has always been very important to me. All throughout high school, I worked very hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA and to take as many college credit classes as my school offered. I want to try my hardest to keep this up for as long as I can in college. I know that it will be more difficult, but I think that it is possible. In order to get the highest GPA that I can, I will set a SMART goal to do homework for at least an hour…

Identifying low-performing schools has received a lot of attention since the late 1990s and early 2000s. Previously, student performance problems were undetectable because test scores were received in aggregate (Meeting the challenge, 1998). In 1997, North Carolina for the first time received student assessment data by school; making it apparent which schools were succeeding and which were not. The federal education legislation No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 further increased a…

To be in a marching band, one has to almost become one with the band. The instrument played is not a single aspect, but a part of a much larger whole that must be comfortable and confident together. When I first joined the band, I was not one of the more comfortable and confident people that fit in with everyone else. Most all band members are loud and proud of who they are, compared to myself, who always hid behind others and hated being the center of attention. However, almost everyone has…

the game you might have to readjust your plan to better combat your opponent. A study done by Queen Mary and University College London researchers found that StarCraft can improve cognitive flexibility in people who play it. In the study they had seventy-two volunteers who play games less than two hours a week. They took post-game psychological test, the study shows that the people who played the more complex version of the game performed better on the test (Glass, Maddox, Love, 2013). The…
