I started school by failing first grade. The teacher noticed that I had learning problem, or was it? I was transferred to what allot of people call a restarted school. But the correct term is a slow school for the mentally challenged. During the years that I was going to this school, I was excelling in all subjects, receiving all A’s.
They also thought that my parents would eventually have to consider having me institutionalized. Surprisingly, things turned out to be the opposite way. I do plenty of talking, and even participate in conversations. I've gone to really good schools, learned a lot of important information, and have even won a few awards. Last of all, my parents have never had a single thought of having me institutionalized.
The place where I know I’m most welcome Throughout my life I have faced a lot in school and it was not only academy wise there were more to it, I used to be blamed for things I don’t know about. However I learned how to make all bad things good things and make the best out of it all. I realize that difficulties can make you accomplish a lot in your life without you fighting back. I move to America three years ago and came to the country with no idea of how the school system works and I did not have any idea of how they teach students differently. Trying to achieve what I want in life is really hard all I know is that I have support all the way to the end.
So four years later here I am a senior with two majors under my built closing out my last semester here. I can’t describe in words what I’ve gone through and learned throughout this rollercoaster ride, it would take hundreds of pages to explain my full college experience. One thing is for sure, all the hard work and stress was worth it. All the tears and laughs have paid off and it’s a feeling I will never forget as long as I’m alive and I couldn’t have done it with out my mother, father and Dr.
It will be difficult to avoid subjectivity based on my previous experiences in the field. I know that students with special needs have a particularly challenging time getting through school. My appreciation for this has changed over the past two years. I don’t believe I have the capacity to be a special education teacher, but I will always make time to help and would certainly encourage my students to be a part of anything that is happening in special education. I have assisted with children on all ends of the spectrum of Autism as well as one with Cerebral
I want to be able to assist these types of children in living their lives to their greatest potential. Although my experiences are not in a professional manner I feel that I am somewhat familiar with how to deal with special needs children, what to expect and have been witness to professionals working in this field. This area of ABA appeals to me because I already have a passion for it and I find it to be a very rewarding career despite the challenges that also come with this type of
I am a lifelong learner so I will never say I have a mastery of any skill as there is always something new to be learned, or changes made to existing skills. I can say that when it comes to new concepts and ideas I try my best with the tools that I have acquired over the years to effectively use critical thinking when formulating a persuasive argument. This class has given me new tools as well as shed more light on the existing ones I have already acquired. I wasn’t able to get feedback on week 9’s
Brianna Stahl WR 121/400, Ms. Roush Unit 1: Dialoguing with Others about Ideas Monday, November 04, 2013 Who does not need education, apparently you? Do children really need an education and if they do are they in school too long? This question causes many different reactions from me because I see endless possibilities with schooling and without a financial barrier I would attend school for the rest of my life. As a working adult, who has little time, I often think that schooling goes on for too long. In his article “Against School: How Public Education Cripples Our Kids and why” John Taylor Gatto blames the education system for creating a cattle drive that sends people towards a specific labor goal.
It’s not like my family is filled with a whole bunch of illiterate people. Trust me my family is filled with very smart people. The sad part is they weren’t given the chances to complete high school. For example my mother had an untimely pregnancy which limited her ability to attend school regularly which eventually led to her having to drop out. These stories continue throughout my family and the list goes on.
Even though she had made bad choices, and had been through tough situations. Mandy always seemed to have a positive attitude. She seemed to pend on a lot of situations that I feel make her a good mother. She always had her baby’s best interest in mind; which brought her to the place she really needed. In the end her and her baby got the help they were looking for, and were adopted into the family.
