Scholarship Essay: Pursuing My Degree

126 Words1 Page

When I started high school, I was a year above everyone else in our Math pathway. I also took all advanced classes. As a result, I had the best and most passionate teachers while my friends were stuck with teachers who did not care. So many opportunities are wasted by standard teachers who do not take the time to appreciate and acknowledge their students regardless of their prior knowledge or will to learn. My goal, once I have my degree, is to teach standard Algebra or Chemistry and encourage my students to learn and to love STEM classes. This scholarship will give me a small percentage of what is needed to fund my college career and will push me one step closer to making a

  • Mike Rose I Just Wanna Be Average Summary

    833 Words  | 4 Pages

    A recent study released by Pearson that questioned over 400,000 students in grades 6-12 shows that only “48% of students think their teachers care about them…and only 45% of students think teachers care if they are absent from school” (Hare, 2015). This shocking statistic demonstrates what American students think about their teachers. Most students are under the impression that their teachers don’t care about them. When teachers don’t care about their students and allow them to fail, many students with unrealized potential give up on education. Mike Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average” describes his journey through high school on the vocational track after the results of his “tests got confused with those of another student named Rose” (Rose, 1989, p. 2).
