First-Year Service Day Reflection I thoroughly enjoyed First-Year Service Day for I have always valued giving back to society in a myriad of ways. I‚ therefore‚ fully support of the idea of Service Day as I feel as though I benefited from it just as much as the community. Service Day benefited me by helping me connect to not only the Rome community‚ but also to my first-year seminar class. I was able to bond with my classmates while taking care of the environment. Conor and I strengthened our

and have fewer children. The best plan here is to set up half-day day schools for young women all around Mexico‚ in the rich parts and the poorer parts. This will give young women the chance for an education. Since schools in Mexico have high dropout rates due to the pupils’ need to work for their families‚ a part-time school would be most efficient so the students could go to school for half the day and support their families after school. Once children and women are educated‚ they can have more control

on my break from school. My grandmother had called my father and asked if my brother and I would be interested in going snow tubing at Hunter Mountain‚ and I was so excited that I nearly peed my pants. The plans had been arranged and set for the following morning‚ so we went directly to bed with smiles on our faces. The next morning when we all awoke‚ we ate breakfast immediately. I demolished my plate of blueberry pancakes with syrup because I was so anxious to get onto the hills. My grandmother

My dream school Monday‚ April 22‚ 2013 A Dream School in My Mind Have you ever thought about why you are going to school? Or have you ever talked to yourself: “Oh my God‚ it’s school time again.” The environment keeps changing all the time. We change houses‚ jobs‚ friends and schools. We might often ask ourselves a question: Is there any dream places where we would like to stay? If you have a chance to create a dream school‚ what is your dream school going to be? In my mind‚ a dream school is

It was my first study week in Nilai International University College. I am in this college since the end of March 2008. That is the turning point in my life. Last time I was just a simply high school student who was busy in my previous school compound‚ SMJK Yu Hua Kajang. After the SPM examination‚ I worked part time until I get my result lately on 12th of March. No longer after that‚ I turned into this college. I found that it is difficult for me to follow those subjects especially ENG112 after

reconstruct my first visit to Nigeria. The journey took place when I was seventeen in early 1993‚ during which time Nigeria was under the military rule of General Sanni Abacha. For the most part of my trip I stayed in Lagos‚ former capital state and still highly recognised as the commercial capital of Nigeria‚ although I did visit other parts of the country including Ondo State and Jos. Between this time and the time I left‚ in early 1994‚ I experienced and learnt a lot about the Nigerian culture. My main

perfect school is a place where we spend much time‚ enjoying school life‚ friendship and getting knowledge. However some things could be changed in the school I am studying now. The lessons should be shorter‚ and the breaks – longer. Students should only study the subjects they really enjoy. That s why Information technologies and Physical Education should be removed. The teachers are often the reason of misunderstanding pupils. Boring lessons are the result of such relation. Our school should

Recently‚ I made a list of what I think my perfect school would look like. As I began developing the list‚ I was struck by two things: Firstly‚ how most of it was about making school more student-centered‚ and secondly‚ that I didn’t mention technology once. For me‚ this second trend bears a little more fleshing out. I would never say that there is no place for technology in education‚ far from it… But I think the place of technology is to support a more student-focused‚ relevant and engaging methodology

An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call‚ a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore‚ I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better

for schools to switch to a four day school week‚ but not all of the benefits are for students. There are “Sixty-two school districts‚ constituting 34% of the 178 school districts in Colorado” and those sixty two school districts “schedule 7.5 hours per day for 144 days of school instead of the normal six hours for 180 days” (Dam). By switching to a four day school week‚ students grades and their attendance were improved. The school saved money and since there is only four days in the school week
