Carla Wright My Return to School English Composition 1 Denya Cuiffo October 14, 2013 When we attend college as adults, we have expectations of what college will be or will not be. I decided to go back to school for quite a few reasons. The main factors for my returning to school includes my family and stability also plays big role in my returning to school. My reasons for going back to school is to gain communication skills, become a good role model for my children, if I decide to have any, gain independence and seek profitable employment that would be profitable for me. My father has always been my support system in my return to school.
In society many would think that teaching financial literacy in high school is not a good idea because the students already have many things to worry about. They think that teaching financial literacy would just add on to the load. They also assume that financial literacy skills are just common sense. Whereas some people also believe that teaching financial literacy is an excellent idea because it will help the students manage their future finances well. It will help them understand the basics of financial planning as it is not common sense.
When I came to know that I have been asked to take English remedial class, I was a bit mad at first, but then I thought that this class would make me better. I view remedial classes as practice, very much like professional athletes view training, because the best athletes practice to become better. As well, once students complete a degree with finishing the English remedial and begin seeking employment, they will find many companies emphasize good communication skills. So, It doesn’t matter if you know everything or nothing, what matters is that you benefit in every class (even if it’s a remedial). Soon, after my graduation I will be joining my dad’s business.
“By tying grades to money, we give students incentives not to take risks” (Vogel, 392) that stop them from choosing challenging courses in college. Students find easier courses through word of mouth or websites that previous students rate their professor in. I always ask people who previously took the course I am interested in whether or not I have a chance of passing the course with a C or higher. Students are afraid of putting their grade point average at risk because the grade point average is a component of the application process that helps colleges decide who to accept. .
I would like to show my family that education is very important, because it doesn't only affect you but everyone that is surrounded by you. I would like to set an example for my little sister, and younger cousins, that anything is possible, and that your education sets a path for your future that if you have a bright future you can have a beautiful life. I would also like God to be proud of me as well. Bishop Noll Institute offers a challenging academic environment, I clearly see it in the upperclassmen’s attitudes and the standards that they set for me as a freshman this year. The more I know the better opportunities will come my way in the future.
I could take ideas and listen to the students. These could make major changes and make the whole school a better place. So, not only will I be perfect in SWAG but, while I am in SWAG I will make the whole school a better place to learn in. I'm not a bad student so behavior isn’t a problem with me. You won't even have to worry about teachers coming to report bad reports to you.
An article called “State line (Changes in Public Education),written by Chris Pipho, talks about how reform of mathematical curricula for schools can be a good change for the school systems. Change in the school district budgets can be good for many students too. Students can receive better textbooks, meaning students will be able to get new and improved ideas and learning strategies from their math curricula. The state doesn’t mind funding the school districts because with new and better school supplies knowing it will help better students, and teachers as well, the teachers will also feel better about teaching student the math lesson, with better curricula from the
First off, I plan on going in to Highschool with good grades. I think that it would give the teachers a good feel about me from the start instead of one of those kids that sit around and do nothing. Second, I think that going in there or staring off wanting to be in better classes would help. I think that it just motivates you to do better and not be just average. Lastly, friends are a good thing to have by your side.
Perez, Enrique English 1301.257 Caroline Mains March 30, 2014 A big part of one’s life may be attending school because that is what leads them to the career they wish to be in for the rest of their living. I have learned so much because of the challenges I have faced throughout my academic career. I have put up with crazy teachers, tough assignments, and my own uncertainty of things. To this day I am happy to say that I have gotten passed those things and will keep beating more problems to get to where I will be later in life. During my high school years, a big issue of mine was some of the teachers.
I want to have a great personal life rather than a great professional life with no personal life. I will get my professional life on track by going to school every day that I have class. I feel that by attending class will only help me to succeed more. I will also graduate and receive my Bachelor’s degree and then maybe move onto my Master’s if my job entails it. Once I have graduated, I hope to find a job that will fit my qualities and responsibilities.
