During my participation at Hope Academy I …. that the community and myself are pleased with the work and effort provided by Pam Picou. At Hope Academy Mrs. Pam Picou is in charge of coming talk to students at Our Lady of the Lake. She dedicates her time to explain what Hope Academy is all about and helps you understand what you will be doing at you time of service. The volunteering offers you to be able to help students in developing their social and learning skills. These students at Hope Academy all have disabilities and taking extra time out of your day will help them develop learning skills and also help them become more sociable. From all the information given about Hope Academy I knew what to expect as soon as I walked in. To be honest I actually got more than what I expected from volunteering there, the students actually taught me something. While volunteering you can tell that everyone there loves their job and enjoys every bit of developing the students. I am very grateful for Mrs. Pam introducing me to Hope Academy and giving me an amazing opportunity to work with those awesome children. …show more content…
When going to the school it made me realize how much help just one person in a class can be. Just by helping one student sound out words can already better their vocabulary and reading. By giving a little time out of the day to volunteer at this academy you can change a student’s life. What I man by changing their life is by just helping the student become a better student to help them move on to the next grade because they get help back by their disabilities. Being positive with the students at Hope Academy will help them realize how important it is to learn and become a better student and help them understand that they can do anything they out their mind too. The dedication the school puts to each individual student is amazing and lets you see how helpful someone can be in someone’s else’s
Each morning, students are dropped off by family or school busses, filling the school with friendly and respectful faces. At Earle Brown I have had the opportunity to interact with a variety
She wants to empower those who don’t even know how to ask for help. She has created strong ties to the community. As every kid walks through the door, Perla will greet them by their name and will ask them about themselves. She knows their sibling, their parents, and their interests. Perla knows her students because she has been working with the learning since it opened about three years ago.
I like to be involved in schools because I value education, especially since I am a first-generation student, which is why I am interested in this position because I have a passion in helping students become successful and motivate them to go far in what they desire. Throughout my education experience, I’ve noticed that students who struggled more in academics tended not to care and teachers would be frustrated. I noticed that these students needed more of a support system and motivation. I decided to help these students by volunteering at schools. For example, I volunteer at Image elementary and a program called La Plaza.
While doing research on the BethanyKids Organization, I found that the children being helped “have gone onto high school. A few have finished a University and some have entered vocations through which they can help other students with disabilities” (Finding Joy in Joytown: The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda
The National Honors Society is an organization consisting of outstanding students across the nation, and I am truly honored to be considered to join. Not only does this organization push students to succeed academically, but it also allows them to build character by taking part in their communities through leadership roles and service. With this, I would take advantage of all the opportunities the society presented me to build my own character even further. In my years of high school, I have shown that I am qualified to join the society based on my performance in academics, character, leadership and service. Throughout my years, I have been able to maintain a GPA at a 4.0, while also balancing my time with sports, clubs and a job.
In addition, there is one of children that just started entering normal school with taking care by youth worker and a little bit helping of us by teaching him English, so I and my volunteering friends really expect these children to have great future as
I am very thankful for the opportunity to intern at the Waterfront Public School and having the chance to work with two very different students with DD. This experience gave me a better understanding of how the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) employs DSWs and how they value our role within their classrooms. I was fortunate enough to work with a collaborative team of staff that encouraged my professional growth by allowing me to assess and implement new teaching strategies. This team also provided me with much needed feedback and criticism along the way, which I valued and learned from. In addition, this education support placement allowed me to fulfill many performance elements related to learning outcome seven of the DSW Program Manual.
I was fortunate to be placed in Ms. Gohil’s classroom because her classroom was dedicated to students with special needs. This allowed me to experience first hand what an actual special education teacher does during a typical class day. I also was able to see paraprofessional work with the students on constant bases, not like my previous experience where the paraprofessional would only visit the child for approximately 20 - 30 mins per class period. What I also like was that I witnessed various behavioral changes from students and was able to see in real time how the teacher and paraprofessional handled these behaviors. At first, I did not understand some of the techniques that were being used, but then I would ask Ms. Gohil questions and
I decided to apply to the University of Wisconsin-Madison because of their nursing school’s collaboration with scientists and renowned researchers across the UW-Madison campus, the nation, and the world. This school will help me network with the best researchers and scientists whom I can learn and grow from. The university is the third largest research university in the country and will help me further my career in research as a nursing student. Research is very important in the nursing field due to the fast growing pace of diseases and illnesses. There needs to be new techniques in developing cures and care plans, especially treatment that are unique to each individuals’ needs.
As the days progress, there are always new adventures waiting each day. I constantly learn new skills, meet wonderful educators, volunteers, and most importantly, assist children who have the potential and enthusiasm to achieve different goals. My day started on a rainy, Monday morning, no different than any other Monday, so I thought. I traveled to Johns Island on this day; Angel Oak Elementary School happened to be my morning destination. When I arrived, I did not expect any additional duties, other than observing tutors and students throughout sessions.
National Honor society was established to recognize outstanding high school students. National Honor society recognizes students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of academic success, leadership, character and service. I should be in National Honor Society because I think I represent a lot of the qualities needed to be in this organization. Throughout my years in high school, I have been very involved in the band program here at Langham Creek. As a freshman, I started out in Concert 2 band.
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
It all started on my first day here. It was September, and I was 4 years- old. The year was 2006. When I walked in the front doors of the huge brick building, I realized that it was my first day of school, and I was going to a place called Saint Mary’s I couldn’t really pronounce the word “Institute” when I was 4 years-old, but I would quickly learn how to learn and spell the word thanks to the amazing teachers I have now and have had in the past. They gave me the best education of my life.
When I began the Minority Student Program (“MSP”), I had expectations that through the program I would gain insight into the requirements for success in law school. I was grateful that I was selected to participate, because I wanted to be fully prepared for the first semester. Fortunately, MSP introduced me to the law school community, allowed me to build relationships with my peers, and enabled me to thrive from the first day of classes and beyond. The program has made a tremendous impact on my first semester of law school. Additionally, I was welcomed into a community with a scope beyond the current MSP students and faculty.
This helped me a lot while I was involved in working with the children in the special needs school. Working within this environment has helped me gain a lot of confidence in myself this is because, it has proved to me that I can
