Being admitted to do a Master of Education Degree in Curriculum and Instruction is a dream come true for me. It is my aspiration, but I needed a school that would meet this need and allows me to do my course online since am a working mother. Writing is one of my hobbies. I enjoy writing poems, stories in addition to study guides for girls and ladies. When I trained as a teacher 26 years ago, I desired that the students I taught enjoy the learning experience and more so, learning through books. I believe books journey with us to places we may never physically go. Through books, we meet people we may never meet physically. Through reading books, we find ourselves in different circumstances that would be too many to experience physically.
I chose to study English Language and Literature for my undergraduate because these subjects identified with my passion. I learned to communicate effectively and write extensively. This played a part in

Most children in Kenya are missing out on the learning process because it is geared only towards one's intellectual capability. They need to experience their environment, enjoy, know and love it, that way they would be developing. In addition to this, adding values to the learning and Christian content for them to have the knowledge of God at a tender age in a personal way. This course will equip me for that task ahead. I want to contribute to educating even the most vulnerable child who can’t afford to go to a private school. In the 26 years, I have been a teacher, I have taught in a government school where they have minimal facilities. Moreover, I have taught in a private school where they have facilities but the focus is on academic excellence only. Furthermore, I have also homeschooled my children. All these experiences have challenged me to better my skills in curriculum development; in taking this course I stand the chance of fulfilling this
The whole child curriculum serves as a basis of offering instruction that allows for creative expression, positive social interactions, critical thinking and problem solving, physical development, and language and literacy skills. Learning will take place utilizing small and large group interactions as well as
Every day, multitudes of things are competing for our attention. Billboards line every street, commercials interrupt every enticing program, and our phones are constantly beckoning us to check them. And no, this is not the beginning of another trite piece of literature that is going to complain about how the growth of advertising and technological innovation is the decline of the human race. In fact, I embrace it. The world is changing, and with so much to be involved in, competition for our attention is healthy and necessary to keep things that we want to see accessible.
Four years ago, I left the shores of Nigeria to pursue a higher education at the University of Ottawa. I know most people when they are younger are not sure of what career path to follow, ye I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Ever since I could remember, I have always felt deep compassion towards other human beings. It is disappointing to watch people lose their basic human rights. My program has educated me and changed my worldly views.
The dream of going to college has been present since I remember. However, I lived in a low income household in Spain, and at that time my family was going through a great depression, lack of financial stability, and my parent’s relationship was not at its best; consequently, the idea of having another expense was not a priority for the family, needless to say that college was not an option. Nevertheless, life has given me the opportunity to review my priorities, make new choices and as a result, I decided to pursue a higher education. I became a displaced homemaker after my divorce in 2008 in Washington State, when I decided to move away and start a new life in Colorado. We were only us, my daughter and me.
When I was younger, one of my favorite things to do was to hop in my grandpa’s old, red Chevy pickup and ride down to our family’s farm with him. We would spend all day doing various jobs including scouting crops. Each summer I would spend more time scouting crops with my grandpa. He would share stories about particular growing seasons that he remembered and he shared a vast amount of agronomic knowledge with me. Over time, scouting with my grandpa turned into a passion.
My fascination with various systems of the human body began at an early age, and continues to grow. My natural inclination was always towards Biology, I was hardly 9 years old when I taught myself how to draw the respiratory system and the veno-capillary system. A trait of my personality which I think differentiates me from other applicants is my creativity. Creativity is, in my opinion, a very important characteristic of a good physician, as it is a help during investigation processes and in difficult diagnosis situations
I am not like the typical college student. I migrated to the United States at the age of 12 with my family. Moving to the US at this age was quite challenging; however, it was nothing compared to the challenges I faced growing up in a third world country- India. I remember it vividly; the company that my father worked for shutting down, thus taking away my family’s only source of income.
The University of Mannheim offers a beautiful campus in the wonderful southern city of Mannheim, Germany. Not only does Desautels Faculty of Management have a direct bilateral exchange with the University of Mannheim, but the University of Mannheim boasts the number one business school in Germany, offering “world-class management education”. With the University of Mannheim’s very complete business curriculum, I can fulfill several of my McGill Bachelor of Commerce management core courses as well take more specific business related and other elective courses. I should be able to take Operations Management, Macroeconomic Policy, and Strategic Management from the management core as a minimum during my studies in Mannheim. Additionally, as part of the major in International Management, this exchange to Germany fulfills the international exchange component.
I’m Leydi Rubio, an optimistic and proactive woman who has a dynamic way of dealing with challenges. I consider myself as a determined, highly organized, focussed, diplomatic, and practical person. I agree with Saint Augustine quotes: The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. So I’m passionate about travelling and exploring new cultures, which gave me the great opportunity of both living in three countries and speaking three languages.
Having spent my childhood in South Africa I was exposed to hardships experienced by many people at an early age. Such hardships were largely of a financial nature but beyond this included deprivation of basic needs such as the need to healthcare and medication and other public services. This exposure has definitely played a pivotal role in shaping my life thus far and my ambitions for the future. I have learned in my life that many things cannot be expressed in words but only through relation of experience.
Imagine a world in which nobody innovates. A world in which not a single human being strives to make changes. Mathematics has the power to change the world. Newton used his calculus to systematize physics, which has had a major impact on the world. The axiomatization of Mathematics, from Euclid’s Geometric methods to the analytic methods of Cauchy, Hilbert, Weierstrass, Cantor, Dedekind, etc., to the logical methods of De Morgan, Russel, Turing, etc., Mathematics is firmly built on the shoulders of innovators who took risks.
Every single day of our lives we are surrounded by instances of decision-making that shape our foreseeable future. We choose luxuries disguised as necessities because we have that option. Unfortunately, this was not the case for the majority of my childhood and adolescent life. I was a shy twelve-year old girl who had already changed three schools when I moved to Canada from a third world country. I came from a very underdeveloped background.
I believe there are two phases of education in an individual lives. The first one being the elementary education which is necessary for his/her general awareness towards the world and also for the basics of any major that they will be learning in college. College gives you immense opportunities to shape your life. Not just by choosing a major of your choice but also by giving you a chance to make up your identity.
A tiny pond flows upon the campus, rippling as a gentle breeze caresses the surface. Left and right, students pass by with eyes lit by an eternal flame as they battle with their studies. The University of Texas at Dallas brought a tsunami of emotions to sway my heart. Within each webquest I partake to uncover what the University had to offer, my heart would pang. Why am I not there yet?
2 Session 1: Reflection Paper Attending Colorado Christian University was nothing but an unexpected, amazing blessing. The passion for wanting to influence children in a positive way has always been pressed on my heart and mind. Coming from a large family with me being the oldest sister of five and having a natural gift with children, I felt directed to pursue a degree in education. There isn’t a specific event or experience in my life, but several that have influenced my academic work and goals.
