In my sophomore year I was involved in two great programs. The first is “Newcomers Hope Club”, where we help provide new students with the tools they need to brighten their future, not only in school, but in life as well. In summary, we provide answers to all of their questions and concerns, and if we ever do not have a sure answer, we take the time to find it for them. We also provide them with outings where they can meet new people and connect with their peers, for example, we organized an outing to the movies to see The Fifth Wave. The second program is “Leadership Symposium” where we strive to inspire and motivate students with positive attitudes and good messages. It makes me feel good to help students who are struggling at a new school, just like I was when I first began attending. Because of my time working in the club, I …show more content…
After the end of each story, we give the children candy to positively reinforce the idea that reading is an enjoyable part of life. And its great opportunity to give the chance to get into the habit of reading because that is part of our world. I learned a lot from them because reading is a fun way to be intelligent and sometime we can read books we like and we are interested in so we have fun and we get education at the same time. This year I am volunteering at nursing home. I learned a lot from this experience. I learned how to take responsibility and how to have a full pension with them. MY career goal is Ophthalmologist to provide people with good vision and help them see the amazing world. To achieve my goal I have to go to 4 years college after high school and try to go medical school, and get into my field. I want to be further in my education to be an example to my younger brothers and to all of people who don’t believe in themselves and I want to teach a good lesson to my brothers to follow their dreams and do what they want to do. I’m also the first one in my family planing to go to college and I want them to be proud
As a student, I passionately feel that your college experience is what you make of it. I wanted to make my experience one consisting of philanthropy, scholarship, and leadership. As of 2016, I am an event chair, for Relay for Life. Relay for Life is one of the American Cancer society’s largest fundraisers, al over the nation. I chose to undertake this role to honor all of who have touched my heart, as well as everyone who has battled cancer.
Khadiza Begum Senior Fitzgerald High School As a student, it is a great honor to just be nominated as a candidate for the National Honor Society. It insists that I have been industrious throughout the past three years of high school– which I take great pride in. I have always shown my best even through my struggles.
It encourages cooperation and team-work. It allows children whom are more reclusive to move forward through sound participation. CS II c: Wordless books- This activity helps infants/ preschoolers to start from the beginning, understanding basic story structure. In addition, this task would require them to use more of their creativity and imagination.
What Has Influenced Me To Attend A Post-Secondary Education Institution? When I was in the fifth grade I had joined West Side Boys & Girls Club they had opened my eyes on how to be friendly and how to respect others around you. They had prepared me on how to include people and how to open up myself and how to get ready for college and what it has to offer me.
My freshman year I joined the student government program at my school and I’ve been apart of it ever since. I find student government to be my new soccer. Just like in soccer, every term there is new kids. Some kids walk into the class having never been apart of a leadership class before. In order to prepare
By getting children interested in books, they will be more apt to read outside the
Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave is perhaps the young adult novel of the season. It’s been accompanied by a massive promotional push, with what seems like every Barnes & Noble in the world pushing it as the inevitable successor to Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. And unlike 2012’s event YA book—John Green’s justly acclaimed The Fault In Our Stars—The 5th Wave has a premise that promises at least two more books to come: There are aliens, and there is a girl, and Earth has been invaded. What next?
It is because of them that I aspire to be a college graduate, ready to head out into the world and help others while making my parents
I led twenty-two students during their first year of college to provide them success as students. I co-taught a class that focused on study skills, UNK resources, and involvement on campus. My ability to communicate and adapt to the diversity of the class was shown through creating different learning activities to employ in the classroom. I exemplified team work by collaborating with another instructor. Through my experience as a Peer Academic Leader, I was able to hold two counseling sessions with each student per semester to provide myself as a resource.
I used to be terrified of reading out loud in front of people afraid of being judged on my reading skills and reading fluency. However, now I have more confidence of reading out loud and being able to become interested in a book rather than being on social media. Not only becoming interested in a book but actually finishing a book that should be on my reading level. The best thing I experienced throughout this project was probably building a positive relationship with my reading partner, and actually motivating a child to read more and discovering new information and expanding their imagination.
I never would have thought that I could teach another student their homework let alone help them understand it. I felt incredibly good after I knew that I had the chance to help multiple students not only with their homework but, help them make the right decisions when stuck in a predicament. It was an amazing feeling telling students how I achieved my goals and the process it took to achieve them while being at the University. The feeling you get when a person when someone looks up to you and they tell you gives you a feeling that is indescribable.
In the course of the year, due to the Peer Leadership program, I feel much more motivated. At the beginning, I was insecure and unable to carry out the responsibilities successfully. Many times I found myself out of place and expressing myself was a challenge since I did not feel confident. But I have been able to feel part of a group for the first time in a class at school. I can share with other peers and unwind more easily in front of them and out of class as well.
In addition, finishing up my education and becoming a doctor was not anymore, a goal but a responsibility. After seeing my father from being a warehouse owner to now being a worker in a warehouse and my mother being a housewife to now working woman, my education was the only way I can help them get their comfortable lifestyle
Engaging students in reading has always been and might always be a hard task if educators and parents do not seek to find ways to engage the minds of the children. If that is not done then children grow up with a pre-conceive notion about reading which would make it harder for them to read a book on their own, like reading or even see the value of it. Unfortunately, I can say that I was a student who never liked reading, who never saw the value of it and rather watch a movie based on book than read it but I can proudly say that I no longer share those views of my younger self and I do see the value and benefits of reading and appreciate it much more. As a prospective teacher, I try to identify strategies and activities that would foster students
Ive also learnt that it should last around 3-5 minutes because if its to long you start to lose interest and if its lo short you will not find it as fun or there wont be enough information. I can also always have a visual because it may help them understand whats going on if they have trouble reading. Positives there are a few positives in this for example it teaches you how to count because on each page it adds something for example on the first page theres 1 umbrella and on the second page theres 2 goggles then 3 bottles of sun screen and so on. This could be a fun way of learning how to count from 1 to 10 and also improving reading skills at the same time.
