The first part of personal development I need to work on is enhancing my self-awareness. I have taken steps in being aware by joining my community council and knowing all of the programs that the put on in my hall as well as all around campus. I could improve this by getting more involved with other programs put on by the campus such as a tour guide or work at a help desk. My success strategies are not anywhere where they need to be because I have not had to study much and high school and college requires an immense amount of studying. One way I can improve this skill is to go to the library to study where it is quiet with no distractions or go to a help center where students and teachers can support you as well as answer questions your may have about a subject. The next aspect of personal development I need to work on is changing my habits and behaviors to benefit my health as well as the ease of achieving my goal. One behavior I need to break is I can get angry when I don’t fully understand something I get angry and sometimes refuse to even attempt to complete what I am doing. I need to have a positive attitude even when I don’t understand things and use my self-awareness to find help in other people. The last thing I need to work on is managing my stress levels as well as managing my

Education is important because it prevents my friend Kenzie from becoming a stripper to support herself and her family. Education is important because it prevents my mother from becoming homeless. Education is important because it helps me bring food to the table. All of these are reasonable arguments as to why education is important. Although our society shouldn’t prioritize its importance based on of materialistic greed, it can’t pulled out of the equation completely. Some might say that capitalism is ruining our education system but that is simply not true. In like many ideology and other religious groups, there are always the extremists that blows things out of proportion. The system requires tests, homework, school assignment, for students

One branch of psychology is known as lifespan psychology, which is the study of the development of humans from birth until death. The study of a person’s lifespan is used to help other people overcome their developmental challenges through learning about how others deal with the various stages of development. According to Robert S. Feldman (2017) “lifespan development examines the way in which people develop physically, intellectually, and socially.” (p. 1) One of the best sources on how to get through a developmental period in life is to ask someone who has already gone through that phase. Therefore, Linda Peevely agreed to answer a few questions about the different stages she has gone through in her 77 years of life.
When we talk about education, we remember our teachers of elementary, middle and high school because they left their mark on our lives, and are who we truly taught things that even we , and we have to our knowledge, is that the main purpose of my philosophy educational. The basis of my educational philosophy pragmatism. The goal of education for pragmatists is the socialization of the individual and the transmission of cultural ideas of man to new generations. In this way, new generations have no need to repeat it step by step, the experiences of their ancestors (Riestra, 1970). The school must be active in developing critical thinking in the learner. This should not be a passive entity in the process of their education, you must learn to learn . The school must prepare students for this interaction with their environment that is always changing.

The foundational documents helped me realized that student engagement is important when trying to retain and developed them. There are two key components in engagement (Wolf-Wendel et. al., 2009). The first component is the amount of work that students put into their education and activities that lead to their experiences and student success (Wolf-Wendel et. al., 2009). The second is how higher education allocate resources and learning opportunities to motivate students to attend and develop from (Wolf-Wendel et. al., 2009). The Student Personnel Point of View, 1937 philosophy proposes that we should develop the student as whole instead of developing them intellectually. According to The Student Personnel Point of View, 1949 it is the campus community to develop a student physically, socially, emotionally, and
During high school, I did not have to study as hard as I do now that I am in college. Usually, I would be able to study the day before the test and score a hundred percent. Although, occasionally, I would be able to skip a few classes and get the notes from a classmate or of course, resort to guessing. However, now that I am in college, the lectures require much more attentiveness and are more complex: composing more information, meaning that one has to proportion time more responsibly and take an advantage of good study habits. My learning skills have made a complete transformation since I have been in college. I learned new things and I actually enjoy learning new things. Nevertheless, these changes required a lot of self control and practice. Going through these experiences have changed my entire persona about learning such as study habits, being more attentive during classes, and going through greater extents to succeed in certain classes.
Education gives people the competence and skills to pilot the world. It also allows people to provide and contribute to their society and community. Like Nelson Mandela said “ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Similar to our lives, our educational journeys are different from one another. My educational journey was a very complicated journey. My family and mentors supported me, so was able to overcome those obstacles. The biggest motivation that got me through this journey was my father’s courage and love for education.
The ability to write well is not a naturally acquired skill; it is usually learned or culturally transmitted as a set of practices in formal instructional settings or other environments. Writing skills must be practiced and learned through experience. Writing also involves composing, which implies the ability either to tell or retell pieces of information in the form of narratives or description, or to transform information into new texts, as in expository or argumentative writing. Perhaps it is best viewed as a continuum of activities that range from the more mechanical or formal aspects of “writing down” on the one end, to the more complex act of composing on the other end (Omaggio Hadley, 1993). It is undoubtedly the act of
