...Assignment 1 “Why college education is important to me” Achieving Academic Excellence February 6th, 2014 The purpose of this essay is to show the importance of a college education and to provide many reasons why a college education would be important to me. I will incorporate a few quoted references along with some statistical data and my personal opinion. About twenty years ago I couldn’t give an answer to “why college is important to me”. I did enroll in a college and lasted about three semesters. I didn’t do well in many of my classes because I had poor study habits, lacked maturity, was never really focused, and just didn’t have any real motivation and goals set for myself. I never really gave it much thought. The point is I just didn’t take advantage of what college would mean to me and to my future. I wanted to enter the work force right away because I thought that I could land a good job without a college education. After fifteen years of doing different jobs and not making enough money to support a family on my own, I was finally at a crossroads. What am I going to do with my life? Do I continue to struggle? Those were really good questions. I realized that it wasn’t possible to land good jobs without better knowledge and the only way possible is to go back to school. I did some soul searching and came to the conclusion that if I am going to achieve something in this life and qualify for many positions then I must go back to college and work very hard for a degree...

...lawyers. (COORD)In his argument, he puts most of the blame on schools; stating with that they don’t do enough job in encouraging young black children to pursue other careers beside the sports. Although schools are one of the reasons why black youths are perusing careers as professional athletes, there are also other factors that Gates, Jr. neglected to mention in his essay. By only singling out the schools and some unilateral information, he was not able to give us a strong enough argument. By neglecting to give us different factors or reasons to how black youths are being encouraged to pursue a career in professional sports more than other careers, his argument is nothing more than a letter of frustration black youths. As Gates, Jr. used a lot of examples on how black youths aren’t passing in their school courses, those example are not enough to show that encouragement toward sports is the main reason why they are failing. For example, Gates, Jr. stated that “A recent survey of the Philadelphia school system, for example, he stated that ‘more than half of all students in the third, fifth and eighth grades cannot perform minimum math and language tasks. ’” (P248) Although he tries to blame schools for the reason why black youths are encouraged more to pursue careers in professional sports instead of other careers, this example only tells us some information about Philadelphia has a bad record in their school system. (SUBORD) All Gates, Jr. does is bring out stats of black...

...up, I always wanted to pursue a profession in something that I could use my creative mind and hands for, such as art. It was my senior year of high school when I decided I wanted to pursue a career in education, specifically early childhood. Most of my family works in the field of education, so I believe that is why I have always had a passion for children and why I work well with them. I always knew how important educators were in our society, but it wasn’t until I started Jumpstart that I actually experienced this importance. With the combination of experience and this philosophy statement, I have begun to think about why I want teach, whom I want to teach, how and what I want to teach, and where I want to teach? These questions are important to answer for anyone who wants to be an educator because you have to passion and understanding why you want to be in the field of education. Children are the future leaders of this country; therefore, it is our job to supply them with the foundation and fundamentals to succeed in life.

...May 15, 2012 College English/Surinak Senior Research Paper Period 2 Wake Up Later and Your Grades Will Be Greater High school is a part of every teenager’s life whether they like it or not. Although it is not a requirement; most, if not all, teenagers will experience at least one year of high school. With the experience of high school, students will also go through waking up early sometimes at five or six a.m. The starting time of high schools has been highly debated for several years. Those who debate this topic usually dispute on whether or not changing the time would be beneficial. Psychologists estimate that as many as 30% of children may have a sleep disorder at some point during childhood. Sleep disorders have implications both for social-emotional adjustment and for school performance. For this reason it is important for both parents and educators to understand how sleep works and how disruptions in normal sleep patterns can affect children and teenagers. Starting school just a half an hour later would benefit the most families and students, and also to accommodate for teens' sleep needs. One of the main beneficial topics to argue for starting school later is attendance. Schools should start later because it is proven that students will have higher attendance. If students can get more sleep, they are more likely to attend school on a regular basis. Studies have shown that after puberty, teenagers require more sleep, around nine and a half hours, and are...

Its like high school rules you dont harrass people its simple just treat people the way you want to be treated. What surprised me was the the fact that you can carry pepper spray on campus. I felt like that should have been considered as an weapon because the nun chucks from class. I feel like that would have been the lease thing to worry about as a weapon on campus than pepper spray . The only reason i say this is cause the pepper the school didnt give that to that student thats just for her protecting so she can just go around campus spraying people just cause. But on the other hand the nun chuck the school had giving that to that student she just forgot to leave them in that classroom. And the whole knife situation for lunch yea not a good idea.
