...My Life Long Dream is to be a Teacher English Composition I My Life Long Dream is to be a Teacher I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I was a Junior in high school. During that year, I got to help at our elementary school for one of my class electives. I was assigned to one of the first grade classes. I remember talking to the teacher I was helping. I asked her how she liked teaching and what it took to be a teacher. Her first question to me was how did I like working with children. I told her I loved it and wished I could help her all year long. She told me that if I really liked working with children, I should go to college and get my teaching degree. Although everyone measures success in his or her career differently, I believe by becoming a teacher I will be successful. After I graduated from high school, I did not have plans of attending college right away. I decided to take a job as a teaching aide. I was assigned to help with the pre-first grade class. That first year helping was very educational. I helped the children in class learn how to write their ABC’s and showed them how to write their numbers. I learned so much by working with these children I was finally ready to go to college to get my degree. I attended Aims Community College in Greeley, Colorado to get my electives out of the way and then planned on transferring to the University of Northern Colorado, also in Greeley, for the last two years. I often thought how...

...the largest number of degree programs. Other campuses are known for specific areas of specialization. For example, UP Manila is the country’s Center of Excellence in the health sciences; UP Los Baños is a distinguished center of academic excellence in agriculture, forestry and related sciences in Asia; UP Visayas is noted for its program in fisheries which is recognized as one of the best in Asia; UP Baguio is noted for its Cordillera Studies program; and the UP Open University provides educational opportunities beyond the boundaries of a conventional university (i.e., through distance learning). As the premier State University, UP offers a wide range of degree programs. Some degree programs are offered in only one campus (e.g., BS Nursing, BA Filipino) while others are offered in two or more campuses (e.g., B Fine Arts, BS Statistics). Most of these require qualification through the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT). To maintain its high standard of education and to maximize its limited resources, UP has had to limit slots for freshman admission to each campus and to its various degree programs. Some programs are in much greater demand than others so that their freshman slots are often more quickly filled. Other programs may not be as much in demand so that their...

...Religious Comparison Bethann Rice University of Phoenix Religious Comparison In the early years of Catholicism, worshippers with a common purpose banded together to create one of the biggest Christian entities. At the time the Catholic Church started all Christian beliefs that came before it were thought of as heresy. Even today the Catholic Church still does not recognize other denominations of the faith. The recent Second Vatican Council declared all baptized Christians to be "in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church."(Catechism of the Catholic Church Ibid 2358.) In the area of southern Missouri, where I live, there are few choices for different religions. I was raised to be a southern Baptist. Located downtown, however; there is a beautiful building, with classic architecture in the front reminiscent of Catholic churches in larger cities. This building is Saint Agnes Cathedral and Parish. The inside of the church was modest but impressive. Sister Barbara Dingman, the Coordinator of Care Ministry, greeted me at the door. She was gracious and not what I expected. I expected the typical nun, dressed from head to toe in black and white. Barbara was in blue jeans and a blouse, with a...

...identify the classroom problems that faced teachers in public schools in Tafila province, and the proposed solutions. The samples of the study were 196 teachers from the public school in Tafila province. By using questionnaire to collect the data, the results of the study show that the mean of the behavioral problems was 2.66, and the mean of the academic problems was 3.08. Also, the researcher found that statistical significant differences refer to interaction between gender, level of school, and teaching experience in the behavioral problems for male in the basic school, those with work experience less than 5 years. Also, there are no statistical significant differences between gender, level of school, education degree, and teaching experience in the academic problems. The study did give some recommendations. INTRODUCTION Traditionally, teachers are encouraged to believe that the learning environment must be orderly and quiet. For some principals, a quiet classroom means effective teaching. With the growing movement toward cooperative learning, however, more teachers are using activities in which students take an active role. Sharing ideas and information with various activities occurring at the same time can make for noisy classrooms. But it would be a mistake to conclude that in such classrooms students are not learning (Carr et al. 1998). The classroom management and mastering order inside the classroom are the most important factors in educational process and basic requirements...

...The architecture of Haghpat Monastery is one of the most dazzling products of Medieval Armenian Architecture. Aside from it being regarded as a masterpiece, it was also the center of learning in Armenia during the middle ages. The monastery was erected by Saint Nshan during the 10th century when King Abas I was still reigning. It was founded almost at the same time with the Sanahin, another nearby monastery. Haghpat Monastery is a medieval monastery which was built by the Byzantines as a monastic complex in Haghpat, Armenia. The village Haghpat, where the monastery takes its name from, lies on plateau in region of Gouark. This plateau is dissected by deep cracks which were formed by the Debed and Pampak Rivers. Unlike other plateaus in Armenia, it has plenty of water and an abundance of vegetation. The book of Documents of Armenian Architecture says “In this natural setting, it is to be framed the simple, substantial volumetric massivity of the buildings of Haghpat built (as a typical in Armenian architecture) with local stones, such as stuff or eruptive rocks, these contributing to give an absolute homogeneity to the landscape. This process of communion with nature, springing maybe from a remote ancestral feeling of respect and almost veneration for one’s land intended as a mother, in whose “womb” one seeks for protection causes sometimes the buildings to compenetrate the landscape” . Besides, Haghpat Monastery catches the sight of the Pampak River in Northern...

It is a means of language acquisition, of communication, and of sharing information and ideas. Like all language, it is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader’s prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated. The reading process requires continuous practice, development, and refinement. In addition, reading requires creativity and critical analysis. Consumers of literature make ventures with each piece, innately deviating from literal words to create images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe...
