...Passion… Love and passion are interconnected, so if you love doing your passion don’t let others hinder you from doing so because doing what you love most is what will make you happy. Family... Love your family as much as you love your friends because friends betray and backstab you, but family doesn’t. Always remember that blood is thicker than water. Sounds cliché, but it really is true. Career is an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person’s life and with opportunities for progress. Finding a career that will fit you is a very hard task, as a result you need to think and plan some possible steps in order to achieve you career. Career goals are set to fulfill and to accomplish desired objectives. Goal setting is an important part of your career and personal development planning. It is easy to say that in 5 years you will be working in my ideal job, making a very good income and living in a dream home surrounded by a perfect environment. However, achieving these goals isn't so easy. So here are some tips in achieving a successful career. First, your future career must involve what you love doing most or where you are good at because if you don’t love what you are doing then you won’t enjoy your work. Plus, you’ll just get stress out, since this is not your forte. Second, don’t let someone or something hinder you from achieving your career and don’t be a “parrot” to these people that tell you what career you should take because this is your career...

...and learning converge to change people’s futures. I hope that the many Zambian teachers and students who use this rich resource will benefit from the stories, and that the interactive and reflective activities will stimulate interest and learning in different local settings. Every child has the right to education. Yet in Zambia, as in many other countries around the world, millions of children, especially girls, are excluded from school. We often hear the statistics, but it is rare for those excluded children to have opportunities to make their voices heard. The resource pack draws on the stories of young Zambians from around the country who have struggled to claim their right to education. They have chosen to speak out and share their experiences with other young people to inspire them, and encourage those who may identify with them to have courage. The stories illustrate the many...

...Colleges and Universities supports higher education faculty and students to partake in programs that advance civic learning and democratic engagement, global learning, and engagement with diversity to prepare students for socially responsible action in today's interdependent but unequal world (AACU). Diversity courses, programs, or interactions in higher education are positively effective in improving students’ understanding and respect of our multicultural society, and are an essential component to educational institutions. Diversity education fosters a broad range of enlightenment and competency, including those of learning and democracy. Learning outcomes include active thinking skills, and intellectual engagement and motivation, while democracy outcomes were not limited to perspective taking, citizenship engagement, racial and cultural understanding, and judgment of the compatibility among different groups (Gurin, P., & Lopez, G.). It is said that personal and social identity develop best in situations during late adolescence and early adulthood, when one is able to experiment with different social roles before making commitments to groups, ideas, and a philosophy of life (Gurin, P., & Lopez, G.). These situations should involve “confrontation with diversity, encouraging people to think and make decisions informed by new and more complex perspectives and relationships” (Gurin, P., & Lopez, G.). Institutions with diversity educational programs provide such environments...

...learn I must get to know each student on an individual level so that we can clarify and understand each other’s role in the learning environment. By using this approach, I can get a better understanding of the different types of learners and at the same time facilitate a healthy student teacher relationship. I also believe that teaching involves building interpersonal relationships with students and encouraging them to become critical thinkers who actively participate in their own learning. Moreover, I believe that the values of respect, good manners, politeness, and civility are what I want to convey to my students. I feel that this will allow them to become better citizens. Thinking back from my own experiences, (i.e.) student teacher observations, and substitute teacher experience, I have learned that a classroom population can be very diverse in today’s public schools. There are many different types of students and learners that as a teacher I must be able to provide the best means of instruction. When faced with a diverse population of students, I must first ask myself what kind of learner a child may be? Are they an auditory learner, are they a visual learner, or are they a kinesthetic learner? How will I differentiate instruction to meet student needs? Before I arrive at my conclusion of what type of learner a student may be and how to differentiate instruction, I must first get to know each student on an individual level. This is a process that involves patience, and open...

...CULTURE IN EUROPE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF YOUTH An essential condition for the participation of young Europeans in society is their access to culture. That can reinforce awareness of sharing a common cultural heritage and promote active citizenship open to the world. I really think that the only way they can express their creative energy and contribute to their personal development and their feeling of belonging to a community is this involvement in cultural activities. Access to cultural life is about proving opportunities, options, resources, spaces for creation and funding. This is strongly connected with education, youth, employment, cultural and media policies. So i think access of young people to culture is better promoted if young people’s perspectives are included in the cultural policies. Cultural expression is one of the eight key competencies defined in the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on key competencies for lifelong learning. Key competences for lifelong learning are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes particularly necessary for personal fulfillment and development, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment. We are told, “Although most people regard culture as an important part of an individual's personal life, it does not seem to make up such a big part of their lives in practice.” In the case of Europe we are told that “problems arise when young people feel alien in the society they are living in”...

...positive change is vital. Empowering people to become part of a social change movement may be a daunting task as many are afraid of the uncertainties of new opportunities. Thus, one of the possible methods to ease the task is to utilize the Social Change Model of Leadership Development as a guide to help people realize their potential in creating a positive change in their communities. But how does the Social Change Model facilitate positive social change? The Social Change Model was created in attempts to aid individuals to enhance their group, community, and individual values. The model focuses on seven core values such as consciousness of self, congruence, commitment, collaboration, common purpose, controversy with civility, and citizenship (NCLP, 21). Regardless of the position one is holding, everyone may be a part of a positive social change in their community. To utilize this model as a guide, community service acts as a valuable vehicle for developing and enhancing these seven core values. As individuals, what qualities do we possess that may support the groups’ effectiveness and social change? This is where the Social Change Model’s core values come in. There are seven core values, however, through an individual’s perspective, one of the approach to enhancing one’s personal capability to promote positive social change is the consciousness of self. The model defines consciousness of self as “awareness of your personality traits, values, and strengths, as well as your...
