...an opportunity not many would be willing to take. From its rigorous courses, to its high-standards, Honors classes require many qualities to make an ideal Honors student. First and foremost, an Honor student needs to be prepared to be determined and dedicated in their pursuits. Currently, I am in all advanced classes. These classes place much emphasis on effort for school and homework. Likewise, I am also part of the Orchestra since 5th grade, which comes with its own batch load of work too. Combine the two, it is quite a stressful situation to be in. Being diligent, I can help resolve these issues and complete work before the due-date. Sometimes tests require a lot of time and studying in order to be successful. The school offers multiple online resources such as Quizlet, and I have the option of creating note cards for...

When I open my music business I will offer private lessons in every instrument that I know or learn, group workshops, ensembles, and concerts to give all of my students the opportunity to learn, work together, and perform while enjoying the experience. I would also be content as an instrumental music teacher in a school; however, I prefer to open my own business. With the help of this scholarship, I believe that I can reach my professional goals. I must pay for college all on my own. My parents paid their own ways through college and they expect me to do the same. I also want to take control of my own finances so that I can effectively manage my own budget and be sure that I am spending my money responsibly.

...skills. The skill I will be teaching will be increasing the ability to tie shoes independently. There will be five specific steps to determine percentage of completion, and a rating scale of 1-5 to determine most to least prompting. The dependent variable will be increasing the percentage of steps completed independently. The independent variable will be the teaching strategies I use to teach the students to tie their shoes. Observational Procedures: The form of data collection I will use is direct observational recording in which I will observe and quantify the skill. I will count the number of steps the student is able to complete, and keep data on the type of prompt required to complete the task of tying their shoes. Research Design: The research design will be a multiple baseline design across subjects. I will implement the intervention with the first subject and wait until the data shows the intervention is working before implementing the intervention with the second and third subjects. Subjects: The subjects are three students with autism at Seat Pleasant Elementary School in Seat Pleasant, Maryland. All of these students are in an inclusion classroom of 14 students. Ten students in the classroom have IEPs and have either autism or developmental delays. The remaining students are general education students performing below grade level. I am the teacher of this class with the assistance of two paraprofessionals and a dedicated assistant. The first student is a third grade...

The fact that no matter how much you already know, you will still learn more definitely attracts me to this occupation. Furthermore this the idea that I would be involved in one of the most important, life changing times in people’s lives is extremely exciting and it would be amazing to be a part of.

...Good Morning (afternoon) teachers and fellow students. My name is ________ and I am in grade 8. I have been a student at St. Luke’s for 10 years. St. Luke’s is a great school. The teachers are always there for us and the students are the best. When I started at this school, I was four and I couldn’t read or write and didn’t know what to expect. Now I want to give something back to our school. We are lucky to be students at St.Luke’s. While at St. Luke’s, I have participated in many school activities. These include sport teams such as volleyball, basketball and intramural soccer. I have also been a member of the Green team for _____years, and I attend church regularly at St. Luke’s Parish. I am a very strong, committed and dedicated student. I am very well organized and work hard at everything I do. I am very proud to be a student at St. Luke’s and would like to become more involved. So, why do I want to be a part of Student Council? First of all, I want to make a difference. I want to help make kids look forward to coming to school by planning some fun events for all of us so that our memories at St. Luke’s will be great. I would also like to make St. Luke’s more environmentally friendly. Some ideas would be to have more litter-less lunch days and also to plant more trees or even a garden at our school. We could even make announcements to remind the students of how to save the environment even at home. I also think it would be a great idea to have more intramural...

...direct effect on college success and can lead to higher scholastic results. There are many steps and factors involved in personal responsibility and many practices a person can do to achieve this. ------------------------------------------------- Personal responsibility means knowing the tasks and duties a person has to perform and staying motivated and dedicated to completing those tasks on time and to the best of their ability. Integrity is a huge part of being personally responsible in that the accountability relies solely on the person, and they must remain diligent to complete their tasks. There is no one else that will tell the person to stay on task or check in with them to make sure things are getting done. A person must remain focused and use their time management skills to make sure their responsibilities are met. “The best predictors of whether a student will graduate or not are academic preparation and motivation” (Kuh, Kinzie, & Schuh, 2010, p.7). There has to be a healthy mix of drive, hard work and dedication from the student. Simply going to class will not earn the grade. It is a lifestyle change that the student has to make for themselves. ------------------------------------------------- Personal responsibility has a direct effect on college success. When it comes to college,...

...FEATURE ARTICLES Motivating and engaging students in reading Jenna Cambria John T. Guthrie LJjdvcrsLiv û", J ou can certainly ignore motivation if you choose. But if you do, you maybe neglecting the most important part of reading. There are two sides to reading. On one side are the skills which include phonemic awareness, phonics, word recognition, vocabulary, and simple comprehension. On the other side is the will to read. A good reader has both skill and will. In the "will" part, we are talking about motivation to read. This describes children's enjoyments, their wants, and their behaviors surrounding reading. A student with skill may be capable, but without will, she cannot become a reader. It is her will power that determines whether she reads widely and frequently and grows into a student who enjoys and benefits from literacy. So we think you should care about motivation because it is the other half of reading. Sadly, it is the neglected half. Y What is motivation? Many teachers think of a motivated reader as a student who is having fun while reading. This may be true, but there are many forms of motivation that might not be related to fun and excitement. What we mean by motivation are the values, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding reading for an individual. Some productive values and beliefs may lead to excitement, yet other values may lead to determined hard work. We talk about three powerful motivations that drive students' reading. They operate in school and out of...

...weekend, I overcame a challenge that has been plaguing me for quite some time. I had been in a relationship, one that had been painful and had really run its course long ago. Due to being comfortable and trying not to shift the balance in my children's lives, I stayed in the unhappy union. After many arguments, hurt feelings and disappointments, I made the leap and left the man I had spent the past five years pretending to have a family with. With this newfound independence and vast world in front of me, I have many goals that I wish to accomplish. I am a new woman, a new person and the most important goals I have are to be the best mother, best person and best student I can be. Creating an environment where my children can thrive and where I can learn to be the best parent to them is the first of my three goal series. In the blink of an eye, it was over and suddenly I am a single parent again. I have millions of thoughts racing through my mind. Where will we go? What will I do? I have two daughters who depend on me for everything. I made arrangements to leave our stuff where we once lived, to be picked up at a later date. I packed what little I could into my Jeep and hit the road to lean on my parents until I could have enough money saved to make a new and improved life for myself and my children. My children are most important to me, and making sure they understand every step of this new adventure is critical to ensuring their emotional security. I also have...

...Masters in Human Resource Management program can be explained with simply three words preparation, aspiration and dedication. Being able to properly manage human resources in an organization is no easy task and requires a specific set of skills. A set of skills that I’ve been able to acquire throughout my professional career, but I’ve also discovered there is a lot that I have to learn to successfully achieve organizational goals. That’s why preparation is key. Knowing when, where and how to implement different human resource systems and policies are just a few crucial functionalities I want to fine tune. Working in local government, as a confidential secretary to the Town Supervisor, I was able to experience the effects of human resources in managing a municipality. After completing my undergraduate studies I was keen on teaching, however my aspirations toward administration have grown immensely while currently working as a County Legislative Aide. A great deal of my constituency is small business owners, where some have difficulty achieving business objectives. This may stem from poor human resource management. I truly believe that Human Resources will always play a vital role in a company’s success, because without employees a business cannot function. I’ve...
