There are a number of reasons why I have considered Suny Empire State College as an option to continue my education. Suny Empire offers multiple study options such as studying with a mentor, as well as convenient online study. Suny Empire offers much more affordable education rates than many other colleges out there. I’d like to continue my education through Suny Empire to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Community and Human Services. I believe this field of study is ideal for me as I have prior Human Services experience. Since receiving my Associates Degree through Cayuga Community College, I believe I have gained a lot of knowledge, and that I am ready for the next step for my education.
A Suny Empire State College degree is unlike a lot of other college degree programs that are offered. At suny Empire, the student has a wide variety of study options that are appealing. I like the option of being able to study one-on-one with an instructor. Having the ability to get the extra attention and help when needed is great. In other college degree programs, the student can be in a class with up to thirty or more other students, and it is impossible to get the extra help that is needed. Also, at Suny Empire, the tuition rates are much lower as opposed to some of the other private colleges. With the economy, and the rising cost of living, I believe it would be wise to choose the more affordable option. I also like the idea that I can complete my Suny Empire studies at the nearby Cayuga Community College, as I work a lot, and need to study close to home.
At Suny Empire, the Community and Human Services program is a good choice for me, because I’ve always wanted to work in a field where I can interact directly with people. I enjoy helping others and I hope to make a positive difference in their lives by obtaining a job in the Human Services field, primarily in social work, or Substance Abuse Counseling. In this field I can talk with people and help them identify

    I disagree with Leon Botstein's essay "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood". Botstein argues that teenagers have matured much more quickly over the past few years. Therefore, he believes high school be abolished and a child's education should begin earlier in order for students to graduate around the age of sixteen rather than eighteen. High school is intended for students of a certain maturity level. But now, students are exceeding that level rapidly. Botstein sees high school as a place full of superficial, adolescent teenagers that care more about appearances, popularity, cliques and sports than education. Because they have reached a high maturity level at such a young age already, there are many students that are wasting their junior and senior years away in high school rather than starting college. I disagree with Botstein however. High school is a transition period for students to learn how to take on more responsibilities. It is the time for teenagers to become more social and independent. While I do agree with Botstein on his point of maturity levels growing faster, I don't agree that students should be graduating earlier than they currently are. Not all students are capable of the same things. Most high school students are not prepared to enter into adulthood just yet. They still need someone to guide them along a path until they've graduated. Age restrictions are applied to the youth community for a reason. The majority of teenagers are not ready to handle the responsibilities that come their way. The legal age for drinking is 21 because of safety concerns as well as the responsibility that comes with the consumption of alcohol. Fortunately for Texas, teenagers are able to obtain their drivers license at the age of sixteen, but other states, like California, have citizens wait until they are eighteen to obtain their license with the same privileges as a sixteen year old from Texas. Responsibilities are tough to handle, even for an adult. So why have the same…

    Why Attend Spoon River

    I'm attending Spoon River College for many reasons. I have chosen three reasons why and they are as follows. First reason is it is a smaller college than most colleges and universities in the area. The second reason is that they offer the same classes at Spoon that they offer at the other schools. My third and final reason is I don't have to travel out of town for my classes yet. These are the reasons i will be describing in the following paragraphs. Spoon River College has the most respectful, helpful, faculty that a school can have, i think.

    KSU Personal Statement

    My parents wanted me to go to Young Harris where there is nothing to do, like Pickens, to assure I wouldn’t get into any trouble. I didn't want that for myself, I knew I wanted a semi-city environment to help transition into a more busy area such as Atlanta, where I plan to move post graduation. After long nights of arguing about my future, my parents finally gave in and let me enroll at KSU. After enrolling at KSU I declared my major as Biology. As far as long term goals go I aspire to be a dermatopathologist and plan to later enroll into medical school. I was offered to chance to join a learning community so I took advantage of the opportunity as the email I received portrayed it to be a very beneficial experience. But at the same time I am a “first generation” student and I have absolutely no idea what i'm doing or if joining the community was ,or is, a great decision. I’m not exactly sure what I'm supposed to gain but I'm hoping for more individualized learning and the opportunity to be comfortable enough to ask for help in my classes.…

    My personal philosophy of teaching and learning is a product of many influencesincluding experience, instruction, a melding of the philosophies of past educators andan intrinsic sense of what is right. I have attempted to capsulate this philosophy in theseven belief statements that follow. I believe learners are individuals who bring aunique set of needs and abilities to the classroom and that they should be encouragedto become responsible for their own learning, especially as they mature. I believe that ateacher’s primary role is that of a facilitator of learning, creating opportunities for learning which improve the chances of student success. I believe that the learningprocess is multifaceted, unique to each student, yet containing unifying threads of purpose in addressing the student as a whole person. I believe the curriculum is a setof criteria designed, as much as possible, to meet the needs of students and should beoffered to them in as compelling a manner as possible. I believe that the learningenvironment is a shared, public place that must be welcoming, safe, and theresponsibility of those who share it. I believe it is important to recognize and embracethe diversity that arises from the milieu as it provides a myriad of opportunities toenhance student learning and growth. Finally, I believe if I am to be a good facilitator of the learning of others, I must embrace opportunities to expand my own learning on anongoing, life-long basis. This includes allowing myself time to be critically reflective.These seven belief statements form the core of my current philosophy of teaching andlearning. This is an evolving philosophy that is heavily influenced by experience anddriven by a passion for teaching and a passion for learning. It is my hope that thesepassions will combine to kindle a similar passion for learning in the students in my care…

    Islam is the last of the great religions and contains in itself the essential principles of all earlier religions. Islam is a strongly monotheistic religion with the worship of One God as its central theme. Islam was founded by the Prophet Muhammad some 1400 years ago, and establishes the continuity of God's revelation which had descended upon earlier prophets such as Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. Islam, in fact, requires its followers to believe in all earlier prophets and Scriptures. According to Islam all the great religions that preceded it were revealed by God to His chosen messengers.…
