Year

I was in second grade when I was put in advanced classes, and have been in them ever since. I was eight years old when my mom sat me down and told me that she couldn 't afford to send me to college but that wasn 't all. "Kylee, I cannot afford to send you to college, but I don 't want you to give up - you 're smart. I know that you can get a scholarship, just…

until I encountered Julia Mitchell. On the first day of school my sixth grade year, I was settled at the end of a lunch table entirely by myself when Julia comes and sits by me. I was really confused about why she would be there and then she said something that changed my…

When I was three years old, my parents sent me to a kindergarten where majority of its students are Malays. As far as I could remember, there were Arabs too but very few. It was a nice kindergarten, I must say. For four years my life revolved around a situation where my social circle was limited to those who had similar physical traits as mine, worshipped the same God as I do, spoke the same language and ate the same type of food. At seven years of age, I moved on to a primary school in…

When I was little starting at just 4 years old I cheered for my little league football team in my hometown. What town is that? You may ask yourself. Well it's good ole Ocala Florida home of the horses and home of me. Anyways I was the "mascot" and not the typical put on a costume and cheer the team on mascot, but a cheerleader that got to cheer with the big girls and not have to do as much. Sounds like the life, doesn't it? Well honestly it was. I was just as passionate about cheerleading as…

Knowledge of Students Varied Approaches to Learning: Students in the class are mostly social, auditory, and visual (spatial) learners. The students do well when the teacher goes through the book or lesson with the whole class. The students need a variety of examples and cues for comprehension. Writing examples on the board as well as prepared visuals put on the board help the visual learners. Group work and games help many of the students in the class understand the content. These students do…

Describe your interest in Colombia. What are your reasons for wanting to participate in the summer program? What do you think you 'll gain from the trip? Anyone can agree that over the past couple decades Colombia has had a long and difficult journey to stand where is it today. But my interest is more refined than that, and two fold. Firstly I am interested in understanding more about Colombia’s recovery both culturally and economically. I find the way in which the government is endorsing…

Participants Participants were prospectively recruited from the cohort of consecutive patients referred to the Combined Head and Neck Clinic (CHNC) at a large tertiary hospital in Brisbane between September 2013 and November 2014. For inclusion, all patients had to have at least one parotid gland affected by either primary, metastatic or recurrent disease, and were planned to receive either definitive XRT or surgery with postoperative XRT to a prescription dose of 60Gy or greater.

well according to my parents, as I do not remember everything about it. One of the good things was that almost my entire class went to preschool together so we already knew who was who and we already had friends. Another fun thing that happened that year was our school put on a play, the play was about slavery and the underground railroad, and all of us little kids got to be slaves. Believe it or not we did not have a huge role in the play. Kindergarten passed and first and second grade…

So, about three years ago, during fifth grade in my elementary school, my friend and I decided to break the rules. Whenever I think back to this event I realize how foolish I was when I was eleven years old. I had just moved to San Diego, so this was my first year at this new school. It didn’t take long before I made new friends. But once I had my “friend group” I would follow them around during the breaks. They had been at this school since kindergarten and they knew all the secrets, and rumors…
