That was my motivation, that made me graduate high school and enroll myself at College of Saint Elizabeth. I decided to attend college because I knew that, that would make my parents happy.

In the short story, Miss Hancock did care about her students, but she did not care as much as she needed to. In her grade 7 class she was a very good teacher because she taught well and she cared about her students education.

The story stated that students called her “Bard”, “ poetic Bliss” and commented things like “Hancock! Whocock?

" Oh, that does not matter at the moment we are talking about you and your future" say´s mom I was so overwhelmed that choosing a career could be this hard I began to call colleges and asking nurses which school will be in there best interest.

Salsada is one of those few people in my life who shaped me into the person I am today. He told me not to let underachieving get the best of me. He made me realize that school is not all about homework and the letter grades. It’s about the love of learning and the power of knowledge. Mr. Salsada reminds me of a great quote by Alexandra K. Trenfor, “the best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don’t tell you what to see”.

I knew I would miss getting off the bus, seeing my friends circled around each other, and then scurrying to greet me. I would miss the freedom of walking down the halls with my phone in my hand and drama on my mind. I wouldn’t get to complain about how much I didn’t like my classes, when deep down I loved the majority of them. I would miss getting to show off my outfit of the day. I had been really excited about joining clubs my sophomore year specifically the track and the dance team, now that was no longer an option for me.

For years I put all this behind me, I pushed cps out of my mind and caseworkers and social workers did not even exist in my world, that is until college. As I was searching through the list of majors offered at a nearby university I happened upon the “Social work” tab, I almost kept scrolling and avoided it completely, but I’m glad I did not. In my life I had always seen social work strictly as cps, more specifically the removal of children in cps. I was ignorant and did not realize the entire spectrum that social work is on and the vital role they play in communities, the more I begin studying and learning about the field the more I fell in love with it.

Another reason I haven't been able to visit my special place in nature is that it has been very cold. I'm not much of a fan of the cold, so I know not to visit The Lower Dam during this time.

For example, the ALP was tough at first but during all the journals, the freewrites, and the essays were really were not so bad and they were easier because I paid attention to my professor on writing better and to make my emotions on paper,. To summarize how Brookdale was a good choice for me was I met good people, the courses, less money to spend, has a great hands on learning experience, and getting good grades.

Rivera. Session1.Journal What made me want to go back to school was that I didn 't have anything else going for me after high school. I had two beautiful children in the process. I couldn 't find a job or anything it was hard on my own.

I expect it to be really challenging and hard. From what I have heard you get a lot of homework and essays. Since my teachers in middle school are really good I don’t think I will have a problem in high school. I also expect high school to be a lot of fun.

I do good on my standardized test. I always get a good score for my standardized test. I consider myself a good test taker. I believe I am a good test taker because I like to study in class before the test.

When I would talk to my cousins they would seemed to think of school as something to do so their parents won’t have to go to jail, but I think St Rita is much more. St. Rita means so much to me I can’t even put it into words. This school has been my second home not only because I come here to often but because I have a “family” here. You would think after nine and a half years I would get tired of school, nut I still get excited to come back to school after only a week break. This year is different, instead of missing school and my friends over the summer break, I won’t have the relief of knowing St Rita is there to come back to.
