One of Destiny’s greatest attributes is her confidence. Everyday, I have phenomenal students walk into my classroom, but Destiny stands out because of her drive and consideration of others. Unfortunately, many people doubt our young people’s character today. However, I wish that those skeptics could spend five minutes with Destiny. They would see a young woman who is respectful, well-spoken, and a young woman that quite simply wants to help people. Throughout Destiny’s high school career she has acted on these attributes through her involvement in SADD, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, while receiving honor roll status. She also has worked part time at a restaurant, while maintaining a 3.17 GPA. Destiny has many strengths, however I think her greatest strength is her maturity. At the beginning of the Leadership class, Destiny was brave enough to share her “stage fright” issues with me. In spite of her fear, she came to class every day and worked at chipping away at that fear of speaking in front of others. By the end of the trimester, it was apparent to the class and myself that Destiny had overcome her fear. When I think of Destiny, the following quote comes to mind. “It’s OK to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.” (Mandy Hale)…

Herman Melville comes closer to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s cynicism not Henry James. Melville thinks that Hawthorne shows you the loveliness and infatuation of life then later on frightens you with the ideas of sin, evil and guilt. James says that all that Hawthorne’s work is dark and mysterious, and simply that, nothing more, which I think is incorrect. There are plenty of reasons why Melville understands the message and pessimism behind Hawthorne’s writing that James does not see.…

When all the kids sigh and all the teachers slightly grumble, I can pinpoint who has just walked through the door. Some days she goes by queen, other days diva, but I just call her Isabella. Isabella is a third grader that attends Seminole Heights Elementary School. She has a reputation of stealing clay and mats during art time. She has even stolen money from her so called best friend Kelci and when asked why she stole it, her rationale was “she should have been paying attention.” She doesn’t limit her actions to the students, she also disrespects the Instructors art by touching it and even painting her work with-out her permission. I am speaking about a third grader. This is a child that should know better and do better. But yet, she acts nothing like any of her peers in the class. I contend that the Permissive nature of parents ultimately influenced Isabella to lack self-control (Influences on Self Control, pg.353).…
Do you think that leading by example is a real thing? Some people believe that it is not a reality. Most people believe that it is a reality, and I am one of those people. Leading by example has affected who I was, who I am, and is going to affect me in the future. Leading by example is a reality and should be treated as one.…
As a single mother of four children, it is my responsibility to be a positive role model for them. One of my roles is instilling how vital a college education is towards their future, which was problematic since I lacked one myself. Therefore, because children learn through example, making the decision to acquire a college degree was a necessary choice. The challenge began when it was time to decide what field of study to target, what type of school to attend, and where I envisioned myself in the future.…
